FilmAnalysis · 照片背后的故事

印在纸上的摄影展

从照片出发,读一段摄影史。故事和照片之间只是阅读上的联想,不代表照片的作者、相机或实际用的胶卷。

摄影史

斯蒂格利茨主编的季刊《Camera Work》从 1903 年办到 1917 年,共出了 50 期。它刊登精心印制的摄影作品,也刊登关于艺术和展览的文章。

画廊只在纽约,杂志却能寄到远方读者手里。对很多人来说,翻开这本杂志,就是看摄影展。

不妨试试

把一张照片和一小段自己写的文字排在同一页。先看图后读字,再反过来,看看理解有没有变化。文字写看得见的细节,给照片留出位置。

「不妨试试」是编辑设计的练习,不是史实。

FilmAnalysis · Stories behind the frame

An exhibition on paper

Read a little photographic history. These connections suggest ways to look; they say nothing about authorship, cameras or the physical film stock.

History

Camera Work, the quarterly Alfred Stieglitz edited, ran from 1903 to 1917 in 50 issues. It published carefully printed photographs alongside writing on art and exhibitions.

A gallery stayed in New York; a journal could be posted to distant readers. For many of them, opening Camera Work was how they saw an exhibition.

Try this

Put one photograph and a short text of your own on the same page. Look at the picture first, then read; then reverse the order and notice what changes. Describe what can be seen and leave room for the picture.

"Try this" is an exercise written by the editors, not history.
