中文简介：

自2014年以来，Alessandra Sanguinetti经常去到美国威斯康星州的黑河瀑布小镇拍摄照片，后来形成了鲜明而隐晦的系列作品《有人说世界将毁于冰》。这个小镇也是《威斯康星死亡之旅》的主题，这是一本由Charles Van Schaick在19世纪末拍摄的照片集，记录了黑河瀑布小镇居民生活和死亡的凄凉苦难。Sanguinetti第一次看到这本书时还是个孩子，这段经历深深地刻在了她的记忆中，因为这是她第一次面对死亡。这次邂逅引导她探索摄影和死亡的奇怪关系，并最终促使她亲自拜访了黑河瀑布小镇。

本书充斥着严肃、雕塑般的场景和模糊不安的肖像，描绘了一个几乎在时间之外的地方。这些照片没有任何文字或说明，充满了哥特式的精神，以及Sanguinetti的《吉列和贝琳达的神秘梦想和冒险》系列中所熟悉的显而易见的温柔。Sanguinetti的照片表面涌动着怀疑和黑暗的暗流，暗示着不存在或不可见的东西，在真实和想象的氛围中，通过摄影消除死亡的可能性。本书标题引用了Robert Frost的知名诗句，这首诗模棱两可地阐述了一个人如何应对不可避免的死亡。知名摄影师Alessandra Sanguinetti在书中以人性化的视角审视了支撑我们生活的忧郁现实。

英文简介：

Since 2014, Alessandra Sanguinetti has been returning to the small town of Black River Falls in Wisconsin, creating the photographs that would come to form the stark and elliptical series 'Some Say Ice'. The same town is the subject of 'Wisconsin Death Trip', a book of photographs taken by Charles Van Schaick in the late 1800s documenting the bleak hardships of the lives and deaths of its inhabitants. Sanguinetti first came across this book as a child, and the experience is engraved into her memory as her first reckoning with mortality. This encounter eventually led her to explore the strange relationship of photography and death, and ultimately to make her own visits to Black River Falls.

The austere, sculptural scenes and ambiguous, uneasy portraits that make up 'Some Say Ice' depict a place almost outside of time. Presented unadorned by text or explication, the photographs are touched with the spirit of the gothic as well as the unmistakable tenderness familiar from Sanguinetti's series The Adventures of Guille and Belinda. By bringing undercurrents of doubt and darkness to the surface of her images, Sanguinetti alludes to things absent or invisible, playing on atmospheres both real and imagined, as well as the ghostly possibility of undoing death through the act of photography. With its title inspired by Robert Frost's famous poem equivocating on how best one's inevitable death might be met, 'Some Say Ice' is a humane look at the melancholic realities underpinning our lives, seen with glacial clarity by one of the world's foremost photographers.
