Du Wanuo loves Paris and ordinary people living around it. He is an ordinary photographer. He likes hanging out in hotels, drinking coffee and chatting with ordinary citizens. People are not only afraid of the cameras around Du Wanuo, but even willing to be models in some of his shots. Du Wanuo said: I like ordinary people. Although they may have some problems, I don't care. We will talk harmoniously together, very warm, as close as a kind of love. In contact with these ordinary people, Du Wanuo excavated one wonderful masterpiece after another.

Time and city

Robert Doisneau's black and white works remind me of the earliest photographic equipment-photographic cassette. Humans discovered the mystery that light source is the source of all images as early as the pyramid period.

After a long time, photography has become a way to capture images, and then it has gradually been regarded as an expression.

With the appearance of celluloid film, more modern cameras have overwhelmed the early studio photography with their flexible and portable characteristics. This technological breakthrough allows photographers to shoot at will. Robert Doisneau's heart is full of light and shadow.

In the palace of classic works, we often appreciate the black and white works of photographers such as Robert Doisneau, henri bresson, Guilan Nipps, ansel adams and Manuel Bravo, which are timeless.

In fact, time is quite ironic for photography. Time is an indicator of exposure, and accurate exposure is an indispensable factor in creating excellent works, but photography is also the condensation of one and a half seconds, which captures ordinary instantaneous life and then reproduces it, making people taste fine. This is photography, an art constrained by different concepts of time.

However, the surprise of this photo exhibition is that it can lead you from the era of electronic photography, which pays attention to instant satisfaction and global communication, to the time and space that is not just a visit, and feel the meticulous technological process of photographers taking negative images first, then developing them into positive images and recording them on photographic paper. All works are the crystallization of time, patience and technology.

If photography is the condition of a good photographer, it is only the basic condition. Paris in Robert Doisneau's lens contains not only skillful skills, but also the author's profound understanding of the social, cultural and urban characteristics of Paris.

Culture is the carrier of human existence and communication, which contains all artistic expressions and life forms. Therefore, understanding culture is a very important topic.

Robert Doisneau understood the city, especially his favorite city, as a living carrier, an interaction with the city and its residents, a dialogue between cultural relics and children, and between future generations and urban designers.

Visiting "Time Passes-Robert Doisneau Photography Exhibition" is like entering a time journey, a long-lost colorless visual journey.

However, it is the lack of these colors that we are used to, which makes this exhibition shine in the 2 1 century.

We live in a world of color, and color reflects everything in our senses too directly.

However, black-and-white photography leads us to another sensory height and into another time and space. Although we may not be deeply impressed in our hearts, I hope we can understand the essence of Robert Doisneau's works through the theme that exudes the flavor of the times in that time, space and cultural background.

If we do this, if we can talk to the photos, we can go back to that time and space through Robert Doisneau's eyes and explore the unique culture of Paris. This is communication. All we need is a visitor to this photo exhibition, that's all.
