中文简介:
这部感人的日记记录了一段60年婚姻的最后岁月。从1997年到2007年,英国摄影师Paddy Summerfield用十年的时间拍摄了他的父母,反思他们之间的纽带,即使阿尔茨海默症也无法打破这种纽带。他们成为了平衡和紧张的戏剧中的象征,这既是家庭也是史诗。正如他所说:“我记录了我母亲失去世界,我父亲失去妻子,最终,我失去了他们两个。”这些照片主要是在他们的花园里拍摄的,中间部分展示的是去威尔士海岸度假的情景,在那里,凯尔特人的死亡象征乌鸦经常出现在他们的世界。最后,曾经耕作的花园变成了一片被忽视的荒野,因为没有了在那里度过漫长时光的两个人,他们曾经关心着花园,也关心着彼此。这些忧郁而发人深省的图像形成了一个个人的作品,同时也具有普遍性。
英文简介:
Mother and Father', is a moving journal of the final years of a sixty-year marriage. For ten years, from 1997 to 2007 Paddy Summerfield photographed his parents, reflecting on the bond between them, which even the effects of Alzheimers could not break. They become symbols in a drama of balance and tension, which is both domestic and epic. As he says: "I recorded my mother's loss of the world, my father's loss of his wife and, eventually, my loss of them both." The images are primarily taken in their garden, though the central section shows holiday visits to the Welsh coast, where the raven, a Celtic symbol of death, frequently appears alongside their world. Finally, the once cultivated garden becomes a neglected wilderness, in the absence of the two people who spent long days there, who cared for it, and for each other. These thoughtful, often melancholy, images form a personal piece which is simultaneously universal.
