中文简介：

Urthworks借鉴了本·里弗斯（Ben Rivers）的电影三部曲，想象着环境崩溃后三个阶段的星球的未来。

Rivers使用6毫米胶卷和数字成像技术，捕获了日本，图瓦卢，兰萨罗特，亚利桑那州，门迪普山和萨默塞特郡和萨默塞特郡以及制造环境的非凡真实地点。观察图像散布着奇妙的服装角色和不可思议的废墟。通过这些令人难以置信的谐音线程，河流构建了一种引人入胜的文档和小说的融合，使我们对未来的遗忘思想，现在的陌生人的陌生人形象，以及遥远的未来的基本愿景，似乎与过去的历史相似。虽然史诗般的范围，但展开的叙述围绕着触觉和人类的细节，暗示了社会和自然的苣大转变。这本艺术家的书以视觉小说的形式与着茗的科幻作家马克·冯·施莱格尔（Mark

von Schlegell）交织在一起，扩展了图像的世界和角色。这本书的标题引用了Urth，北欧女神的命运女神，以及布莱恩·奥尔迪斯（Brian

Aldiss）965年的反乌托邦小说《土方工程》。

原文简介：

Urthworks draws on a trilogy of films by Ben Rivers imagining the future of a

planet at three stages after environmental collapse. Working with 6mm film

and digital imaging technology, Rivers captures extraordinary real locations

in Japan, Tuvalu, Lanzarote, Arizona, the Mendip Hills, and Somerset as well

as fabricated environments. Observational images are interspersed with

fantastically costumed characters and uncanny ruins. Through these eerily

resonant threads, Rivers forges a compelling blend of document and fiction

which presents us with forgotten ideas of the future, stranger-than-fiction

images of the present, and elemental visions of the distant future that seem

to resemble the deep past. While epic in scope, the narrative that unfolds is

shaped around tactile and human detail, suggesting an intimate, sensory

account of vast transformations in society and nature. This artist’s book

takes the form of a visual novel, interwoven with texts by acclaimed sci-fi

author Mark von Schlegell expanding upon the worlds and characters of the

images. The book’s title references Urth, the Norse dess of fate, as well

as Brian Aldiss’s 965 dystopian novel Earthworks.
