“我是个看不见的人。不，我并非爱伦坡笔下的鬼魂，也不是在好莱坞电影中神鬼附体者渗出的外质。我是个由物质组成的男人，有骨有肉，有纤维和液体，甚至可以说我有思想。要明白，别人看不见我，只因他们不愿意看到我。”

这是Ralph Ellison1952年的划时代小说《隐形人》中的开场白，它是Ming Smith从1988年到1991年拍摄的摄影系列的灵感来源。这个系列中有一张特别令人心酸的单色图片，是一幅忧郁的街景。一个孤零零的身影占据了画面的中央——低着头，双手插在口袋里，大步走在白雪覆盖的街道上。一排街灯从背后照亮了人物，暴露出腿和脚的外边缘，而包裹在笨重冬季大衣中的躯干和头部似乎融入了若隐若现的建筑的阴影中。本书代表了Smith长期以来对非裔美国人经历的紧张关系的关注。这是MoMA一对一系列的新书，邀请读者了解这位黑人女性摄影师对媒体历史的微妙而重要的贡献。

"I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids, and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, simply because people refuse to see me."

These opening lines to Ralph Ellison's epochal 1952 novel Invisible Man served as the inspiration for a photographic series that Ming Smith made from 1988 through 1991. One particularly poignant image from this series, rendered in monochrome, is a moody street scene. A sole figure occupies the center of the picture plane―head stooped, hands in pockets, striding down a snow-covered street. Illuminating the figure from behind, a line of street lights exposes the outer edges of legs and feet, while the torso and head encased in a bulky winter coat seem to blend into the shadow of a looming building. Invisible Man, Somewhere, Everywhere (1991) typifies Smith's long-term engagement with the tensions that animate the African American experience. This latest volume in MoMA's One on One series invites readers to perceive the subtle yet significant contributions of this Black woman photographer to the history of the medium.
