中文简介:
这本艺术家书籍汇集了绘画家James White根据美国摄影师Mike Mandel及Larry Sultan出版的摄影集《证据》所创作的数位拼贴和重置影像。在《证据》中,Sultan和Mandel引用了美国100多个政府机构的档案,在原本作为功能性文件的无表情图像中找到了超现实的叙事建议,借此推翻和质疑影像核心蕴含的纪实本质。这本书一直是James White赖以成名的灰度摄影绘画的参考。在本书中,White向Sultan和Mandel的项目致敬,介入并扰乱图像自成一座封闭空间的认知,藉由绘画独有的手法,将影像的银盐表象瓦解而后重构,进一步推翻摄影媒介作为“见证者”的角色。

英文简介:
This limited edition artist's book brings together digital collages and manipulated photographs by painter James White based on the celebrated and hugely influential series 'Evidence' by Mike Mandel and Larry Sultan. In 'Evidence', Sultan and Mandel drew on the archives of more than a hundred US government agencies, finding surreal narrative suggestions in deadpan images that were intended as functional documents, upending and interrogating the documentary natures they espoused. The book has been a continual reference for the grayscale photographic paintings for which James White has become known. In this volume, White pays tribute to Sultan and Mandel's project by further undermining the evidentiary nature of the photographic medium through a process of intervention and painterly gesture which disrupts and reconstitutes the images' mercurial surfaces. Published as a limited edition of 1000 signed copies.
