一场艺术展览激发了一本伴随的专著,这是观众们所期待的。然而,一本激发轰动展览的专著则是另一回事。
然而,这就是作家埃利亚斯·雷德斯通(EliasRedstone)如何主持巴比肯成功的建筑摄影秀“构建世界”(BuildingWorld)。雷德斯通在深入研究他的惊人的新的拍摄空间时,巴比肯开发了他的最终成为“建设世界”。展览从现在到一月初都在进行。这本书-就像它标榜的复杂建筑一样-是为持久而建的。
从媒体诞生以来,摄影师就一直在“拍摄空间”-没有任何其他拍摄对象会停留足够长的时间来满足长时间的曝光。从艺术家的角度来看,使得雷德斯通的作品更加罕见的是,在这个快速城市化的时代,它关注的是建筑和摄影之间的关系。人们的声音五花八门,比如凯瑟琳·奥皮(Catherine Opy),她喜欢具体的城市景观,格尔特·戈里斯(Geert Goiris),他捕捉了被遗弃的乌托邦,还有阿明·林克(Armin Linke),她探索政治空间-更不用说伊万·巴恩(Iwan Baan
根据雷德斯通的说法,这一流派在本世纪中叶才真正成熟,当时摄影师卢西安·赫韦向世界展示了勒·柯布西耶的印度建筑。拍摄空间是那个时代的自然接班人。这里所描述的50个摄影师把建筑描绘成我们生活方式的象征,是我们灵魂的一扇真正的窗户。
建筑师佩德罗·加达尼奥(Pedro Gadanho)在一篇名为“年龄的到来”的随笔文章中指出,他们的工作是上世纪70年代新地形运动的遗产,当时人类与自然的关系被记录下来,反对工业和城市扩张。他说:“艺术家们的作品是美丽的,即使他们看到的是丑陋、平庸、忽视或失职的地方。”
拍摄空间包括一些今天工作的最好的摄影师,但建筑是主角,站在所谓的“建筑色情”之上,我们都习惯了,并找到了一个新鲜的,真实的声音。
加丹霍将摄影师与19世纪的画家进行了比较。他说,与摄影并驾齐驱,绘画不得不放弃制作真实写实肖像的雄心,从而走向新的表现力领域。与数字渲染…相一致建筑摄影似乎也需要超越传统的地位,成为中立、现实的建筑表现中的一种工具。
Thomas Weinberger creates his artwork by digitally arranging daytime and nighttime versions into a single image in order, says Redstone, to 'challenge the definition of photography as only capable of capturing one moment in time.' In 'Cracker' (2003), Weinberger captures a German Esso refinery
'Bildraum S 130' (2006) is one of a series of photographs by Walter Niedermayr, capturing the work of the Japanese architecture practice SANAA. 'His works are typically presented as diptychs presenting a single impression of space,' says Redstone, 'while implying a sequence and a shift in perspective'
The Bruder Klaus chapel in Mechernich, Germany, designed by Peter Zumthor, was photographed by Hélène Binet in 2009
Binet's depiction of light and shadow references Lucien Hervé, one of the early greats of architectural photography. Here she captures Zaha Hadid's Phaeno Science Centre in Wolfsburg, Germany, in 2005
Bas Princen's 'Superior Court' and 'Ringroad (Houston)', both photographed in 2005
Photographer James Welling documented Philip Johnson's Glass House between 2006 and 2009, placing coloured filters in front of his digital-camera lens to create a psychedelic effect
Frédéric Chaubin's fascination with late Soviet-era architecture is seen here in his 2006 photograph of the Druzhba Sanatorium, incongruous within the pastoral of Yalta, Ukraine
An abandoned Red Army bunker in Liepaja, Latvia, by Geert Goiris
Filip Dujardin reconfigures visual elements to create surreal constructions, like this work from his 2007-11 'Untitled' series
