李舜 Li Shun 肖像 / Portrait

拍品描述

李舜的《肖像》系列，是一场对“观看”与“再现”本质的实验性叩问。作品的创作过程极具巧思：艺术家先用素描绘制出经典照片的负像效果，再用同等尺寸的大画幅相机翻拍这张素描，最终得到一张正像底片；并将素描原作与冲洗后的底片并置展出。你看到的两件作品，正是同一人物肖像的“素描负像”与“摄影正像”的对照。艺术家以一种迂回的方式，完整还原了摄影从“负”到“正”的转化逻辑，也让我们重新思考：摄影究竟是记录现实的工具，还是创造现实的媒介？ Li Shun’s Portrait series is an experimental inquiry into the nature of seeing and representation. The creative process behind the work is both ingenious and deliberate: the artist first produces a pencil drawing that imitates the negative image of a classic photograph, then re-photographs the drawing with a large-format camera of the same scale, ultimately generating a positive photographic image. The original drawing and the developed photograph are subsequently exhibited side by side. The two works presented here constitute a direct comparison between the “drawn negative” and the “photographic positive” of the same portrait. Through this circuitous process, Li meticulously reconstructs the photographic transformation from negative to positive, while prompting viewers to reconsider the essence of the medium itself. Is photography merely a tool for recording reality, or is it a medium capable of producing reality? The work leaves this question open, inviting reflection on the complex relationship between image, perception, and truth. 素描纸铅，银盐照片 Pencil on sketch paper; gelatin silver print
