Art of afterimages. Thomas Ruff
The exhibition title "afterimages" refers to the physiological phenomenon of the afterimage. Like a shadow, it hovers over the human eye as a representation of what was seen shortly before, often including color alterations and perspective shifts – methods, which the artist also includes in his repertoire
展名「影像之後」取自生理現象「後像」(afterimage),即人眼短暫受到視覺刺激後,在眼前徘徊、如同影子般的暫留影像,通常包含顏色變異及視角變化――這也是藝術家運用於自身作品的手法。標題也引導人們思索往往稱之為「後攝影」(postphotographic)的當今攝影圖像世界:我們生活的世界,被現有的影像環繞,這些影像也大多透過濾鏡、編輯、操弄等手法進行處理,魯夫對現實的影像興趣有限,卻深受影像本身的多重現實吸引,因此他的藝術創作中,大量使用這些技巧,而觀念導向攝影的重點即為反映攝影媒體的狀態及運用
