Conception and Plan of Exhibition—Four Sections of Works

亲 眼看过迪尔曼·克瑞恩的铂钯印相原作后，我的策展工作回到数字时代，完全依据于在电脑上阅读他的作品。尽管铂钯照片的光辉在脑海里挥之不去，但是看屏幕上 的照片还是完全两回事。我一方面全面了解铂钯印相工艺及国际领域当代创作的面貌，另一方面认真研读作者的个人网站，看他在facebook上的日记，查阅 他的文章。最主要还是对照片拍摄资料的分析和对照片的解读。我分别按照作品创作时间和拍摄的内容进行了归类。当我不再面对照片，而是面对影像的时候，铂钯 影像的材料魅力被遮盖，作品自身的魅力凸显出来。

Witnessing  Tillman Crane’s original works of platinum/palladium printing, I get  back to my work for digital age, that is, viewing his works totally  depending on computer. Although radiance of platinum/palladium photos  lingers in my brain, it is completely different from photos on the  screen. First of all, I get comprehensive understanding on technology of  platinum/palladium printing and contemporary creation in the  international community. On the other hand, I read up on personal  website of Tillman Crane for more diaries and articles. What is more, I  carefully analyze and unscramble photo and relevant information. In  addition, I classify all photography works into two categories in line  with creation time and photography contents. When I am faced up with  rather photography object than pictures, charming of platinum/palladium  printing material will be covered while the own glamour of work is  released fully.  

我 认为回到迪尔曼·克瑞恩的影像本身也更有意义。因为铂钯印相的材料美感，是小众的欣赏范畴。这位年已60岁的美国摄影师，是当今古典工艺制作的代表人物。 为什么在21世纪的今天，我们要用手工工艺进行创作？技术与语言，语言与表达，表达与传播之间都有哪些关联与作用？迪尔曼·克瑞恩的铂钯印相作品在中国展 出，给大家看什么？如果只是了解和学习铂钯印相工艺，那就太狭窄了。我希望将本次展览，做成一个以铂钯印相工艺为语言的美国摄影师的作品展。我希望能够呈 现出一位资深的摄影教育者，一位严谨而充满激情的老摄影师的摄影姿态和摄影风格。他是如何创建了自己的视觉语言和建构自己的视觉表达体系的。

Returning  to Tillman Crane’s photography itself will be more significant because  aesthetic perception of platinum/palladium printing material is almost  accepted by the public. Tillman Crane, a 60-year-old photographer from  the U.S., is a representative personage of classical technology in the  contemporary ear. Why are we making artistic creation through  craftsmanship in the 21st century? What relevance and role exist among  relationships between technology and language, language and expression,  expression and publicity? What will be conveyed to Chinese audiences  through Tillman Crane’s platinum/palladium printing in China? Just for  understanding and learning platinum/palladium printing technology may be  worthless. I hope this works exhibition of American photographers takes  platinum/palladium printing technique as language. Besides, I expect a  senior photography educator, photography status and style of rigorous  and passionate photographer will be presented, so as to share personal  experience and approach to create individual system visual language and  vision expression.
