Arles Photography Exhibition

I attended a sharing salon about Jimei arles Photography Exhibition before.

This discussion about art, I have to send out some sighs that are quite suspected of being forced:

1. The value of photographic art works depends more on the innovation and originality of the works, which is an insufficient and unnecessary condition incompatible with the shooting level.

Two groups of works left a deep impression on me. One group is a Japanese female photographer xxx, who shoots people and places that are still living in Japan's past earthquake sites and abandoned by the times. The picture can't be said to have any aesthetic feeling at all, and it can even be said to be thrilling. It seems that there is no photography technology, but it is somewhat thought-provoking.

The second group is a group of photos created by an artist during the epidemic, with various items on his head. Why can this be called art? How to distinguish between art and brain hole behavior? I asked the speaker this question. The speaker said that a famous photographer once asked me the same question, but he still had a sentence: "I want to ask the creator what he thinks."

Emmmmm ... So what?

So friends, be confident, don't think you don't know art.

Sometimes the art we don't understand is not the art itself.

Come on, learn to say:

"Fuck art (literature)."

2. When looking at photographs, don't ask me what I think, just ask if I don't understand.

My own concern is "perspective".

Photographers look at things differently from ordinary people.

For example, the same death, Nobuyoshi Araki's death scenes can be very different.

You ask me, why do you want to know what other people think?

Don't you think it's really boring to play the same picture all the time in your world?

When people have a new perspective on the world, they are always more peaceful.

3. Really great works can be understood by everyone.

Men, women and children can see his value at a glance. There is no need for the curator to wrap it in gorgeous words. A good work speaks for itself.

The value of some works needs time to settle.
