Alexandra Midal has curated a new exhibition at Brussel's Art & Design Atomium Museum, focusing upon the Eames' Movie Sets photography series

尽管查尔斯和雷·埃姆斯一生都在练习摄影，但他们拍摄的照片一直被困在这对著名的家具、建筑和电影项目的阴影之下。独立策展人亚历山德拉·米达尔(AlexandraMidal)决心把这些照片放在聚光灯下，到洛杉矶去筛选伊姆斯的摄影档案-这是一个总计75万张幻灯片的庞大收藏。在她的研究之后，2013年，她在米兰举办了一个名为“重新思考伊姆斯”的展览，展示了700张他们以前从未见过的照片。

现在，三年过去了，米达尔正在重新审视这些照片，这一次的重点是一部名为“电影集”的特别系列剧，查尔斯·埃姆斯在1971年的一次演讲中把它放在了蒙太奇序列中。这些照片拍摄于1951年至1970年之间，拍摄于查尔斯的好朋友、导演比利·怀尔德(BillyWilder)的电影背景下。由于他们对当代设计的共同热爱，伊姆斯夫妇和怀尔德夫妇很早就成为了坚定的朋友。伊姆斯曾说：“你不是去看比利拍摄照片，而是学习如何写一篇社论，怎么做椅子，怎么做一件家具。”

现在，之前未知和未出版的电影集的240张照片都在一个名为“Eames”的新节目中展出。

从爬过脚手架的技师，到点亮钻机和照相机，再到一位好莱坞明星的奇观，这些照片被背光展示在两堵长长的墙壁上，由一幅由阿德里安·罗佛洛(Adrien Rovero)设计的富有戏剧性的木材场景支撑。

“对伊姆斯夫妇来说，最重要的不是女演员、演员或明星。“绝对不是，”米达尔在谈到展览的布景设计时说。“对他们来说，最重要的是技术人员、临时演员、化妆艺术家、机器、不同的设备；这并不是真正的技术，而是电影的建造方式。”

Eames Demetrios、Ray和Charles的孙子、Eames办公室主任Eames Demetrios回忆说：“作为孩子，我们总是会在办公室里看到这些幻灯片，我们知道它们是特别的。”他们之所以如此引人注目，是因为尽管他们怀旧，但在形式上和你所经历的方式上都是非常现代的。因此，看到展览齐聚一堂，并开始欣赏它们，我感到非常兴奋。“

The photographs were taken between 1951 and 1970 on the film sets of Charles’ good friend, director Billy Wilder. Pictured: Wilder and the Eames

Despite the fact that Charles and Ray Eames practiced photography throughout their lives, the pictures they took have always been in the shadow of the duo’s much-celebrated furniture, architecture and film projects

The images feature technicians clambering over scaffolds to lighting rigs and cameras, as well as the odd glimpse of a Hollywood star

The photographs are displayed backlit across two long walls, supported by a dramatic timber scenography-inspired set, designed by Adrien Rovero

Eames Demetrios, Ray and Charles’ grandson and director of the Eames office recalls, 'As kids we would see these slideshows in the office all the time and we knew they were special’

At the far end of the room, three projection screens showcase the photographs in a montage sequence while a soundtrack of background noise recorded on a movie set is played out on a loop; just the way that Charles Eames had originally intended for his lecture back in 1971

Curated by Midal with the support of the eponymous Foundation, the show provides a glimpse into the world of the Eames and their own very unique way of looking at the world

'What’s so compelling about them is that although they’re nostalgic, they’re actually very contemporary in form and in the way you experience them,' Demetrios concludes. 'So to me it was thrilling to see the exhibition come together'
