Photographic works about death

Diane Arbus (1923- 197 1), a famous American female photographer, is known as Van Gogh in photography. The groups whose works are "Acura" include transsexuals, dwarfs, nude lovers' camps and so on. The characters in the image, whether beautiful or ugly, are staring at the camera. Examination is an attitude shared by photographers and photographers. If you are not strong enough, sometimes you will even be scared by some glaring eyes. The first photographer to be attacked as immoral may be Diane Ellis. As long as I glance at her photo, I can't erase an unspeakable unhappiness from my heart. Most of her subjects are so-called deformed people in normal society-giants, Confucianism, imbeciles, disabled people, transsexuals ... and the normal people she photographed are also abnormal types-twins, triplets, nude camps ... Pure and evil Alaez grew up in a very rich American Jewish family and was brought up by her respective nannies. However, this meticulous protection gave her considerable pressure. She said: "I think one of the things I suffered when I was a child was that I never felt trapped. I am affirmed by an unreal feeling, and everything I can feel is unreal. " In this unreal pain, Alice was moved by the living tragedy the first time she saw the deformed man. When I was a teenager, I often looked for eccentric people on the subway and followed them to see how they lived. She is attracted by tragic characters because she thinks they are more real than her. At the age of eighteen, Albus got married. Her husband, Aaron Arbus, is a fashion photographer (now an actor, playing a psychiatrist-Sidney in the film. SH TV series "Battlefield Hospital"). They all worked in the authoritative fashion magazine Bazaar, and they were successful fashion photography teams in the golden age of commercial photography. Albus left fashion photography at the age of 35 and devoted himself to his work. She studied the course of female photographer Lisa Rong De (1906-) in the new school art school. Rong De has been shooting unusual people-extremely fat and thin people, extremely rich and extremely poor people. She encouraged Albus to shoot something that attracted her, but it was considered extremely evil and threatening. "Evil or not," Maud told her, "if you don't photograph what you have to photograph, you will never photograph it." Albus began to live in the Hubert fraker Museum at 42nd Street and Broadway in New York. She followed the giant and Buddha in the middle of the night, in a dirty society. In and out of dangerous huts, brothels, transsexual hotels and slave houses. Bose wrote: "She doesn't seem to be afraid at all, but Alex is always afraid no matter what she does-she lives in fear and overcomes the days of fear every day. The feeling of terror became a therapeutic agent for her, with the pressure of growing up in the greenhouse. " Alex, who was born too well and spoiled too much, seems to want to break some taboos to break the family inheritance. She fell into the dark world step by step, as if only by associating with evil could she wash away the pain caused by purity. Normal and Deformed Albus is an extremely sensitive person, and her way of observing people also has its own unique side: "We met a person on the road and basically only noticed his defects. It is strange that we have this tendency, but because we are dissatisfied with our own nature, we have created another set-disguise. We disguise ourselves, send a signal to the world, and let others know ourselves in some way. But there is a gap between what you want others to know and what you can't help being disturbed by others. This is what I have always said about the gap between intention and effect. " In other words, in Albus' view, "people often pretend to be normal to let others know, while others often see your abnormal side." This is what Alex wants to show, just like Boshan said: "She photographed the abnormality in the normal state, and the normality in the abnormality." Alice's photography skills are extremely simple. She has always used the square composition of Mahayana six cameras. Most people take close-ups of their heads, and the people who are photographed pose for photos. Hilton Kramer, an art critic in The New York Times, commented on this technique: "In Albus' photos, nothing is improvised, and nothing is just' captured'. Interested in being photographed, be patient with the camera. They are fully aware of the process of taking pictures and cooperate. This sense of participation constitutes the dialogue between the photographer and the object, and expresses a kind of dignity according to the photos. And I think: dignity is the source of strength for these freaks! "Both familiar and incredible, Albus and her subjects also have an unusual relationship. She associates with deformed people almost in envy and jealousy, so all the characters in the photos have heroic interpretations. In order to shoot a Jewish giant, she has been chasing it for ten years, and it is impossible without enthusiasm. She has also participated in transgender dances, dated and dined with "him" or "her", and herself was naked in order to shoot the camp of China. She feels that she has seen higher moral standards in this special circle. She is not interested in what she is familiar with, but has a soft spot for what she has never seen and is incredible. Her words were printed on the title page of her only photo album: "Nothing is ever familiar to ordinary people, what I recognize is something I have never seen before." "This photo album was edited by her daughter (Duane Arbus) and her friends before her death, and published by the famous photography publishing company Aperture (1972). Among them, 80 black and white photos are the strangest images in the history of photography. Although these photos are regarded as "great works", they are still difficult to be accepted by the general public. Abs used a camera to express the most vulnerable part of human thought. It seems to tell the world that evil is in everyone's heart. Everyone has abnormal genetic factors. Among the things you are most familiar with, there are the most unexpected events. Her whole photography intention is to show: "The familiar things are incredible. I can't believe the familiar face of this object. "There is evil in good and good in evil, which is a taboo under secular ethics. And Alex has been pursuing the forbidden door all his life. Photography is an intention for Albus, not a record: "For me, the theme of a photo is always more important and complicated than the photo itself. I do have feelings for photos, but I don't think it's great. What I care about is what this photo is about. "Albus's photography behavior is almost a philosophical thinking, not a visual expression. The reason why she will stay in history forever is precisely because: through the objects she shoots, people can think about fate and tragedy, themselves and others, and the boundaries between normal and abnormal. Unsolvable myth: After entering the forbidden door, Albus is more and more influenced by incredible things, but she can't really enter the "aristocratic world" she respects. What I want to describe is that you can't get out of your skin and enter other people's bodies; Other people's tragedies can never be yours. "She dyed herself black again and again, but she will never be black. This kind of pain tortured her again and again, making her unable to support herself. She suffered from severe periodic depression and chronic hepatitis, and finally committed suicide to seek relief. Her death was as shocking as her photography. She lay in the bathtub and cut it off with a blade, so that the soil preparation water was dyed red with blood and she was dyed red until she swallowed her last breath. She can't solve the mystery of life. Or is the answer "death"? After living in the dark world for forty-eight years, Albus realized his wish in the last ten years (1962- 197 1). From the photos taken in the past ten years, we can clearly see that she is dying step by step, and the later photos are more bizarre and incredible. Before his death, he took a group of 7 photos in the name of Untitled, which was a fancy dress party for mentally retarded children. She once described her shooting experience like this: "A 60-year-old man with only six years of intelligence said to me,' I used to be depressed. "How could I be like this?" After we danced together, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said,' Ha! I'm not depressed now. Albus' third work Untitled is an imbecile wearing a devil mask. This "noble" seems to be calling Albus: "Let's not be depressed, come on! Dance with me in hell. " Please look at the scanned works: DIANE.ARBUS//club/dispbs.asp? Complete works of Apos.
