摄影师:布伦特 梅斯彻 Brent Meistre
布伦特 梅斯彻,现居南非格雷厄姆斯敦。其作品采用传统摄影工艺(包括人工着色),视频、音频、停帧动画等设备创作而成。作品通过描绘特定时期、特定环境下的南非景象,表现人的忧郁、失落、和渴望。布伦特将摄影和电影相结合,丰富了摄影记录历史的功能,探索摄影媒体的隐喻功能。
Brent Meistre is a photographer based in Grahamstown, South Africa. He works mainly with traditional photographic processes (including hand colour printing) incorporated into bodies of work which also feature video, stop-frame animation and sound installations. In this context he uses the photographic and filmic to unravel and complicate the notion of the photograph being a document of historical fact, contra the medium's possibilities for suggesting the unsaid.

作品简介:旅居 Sojourn
《旅居》系列作品拍摄了过去六年的南非景致。借助图片本身的意义和叙事性,探讨摄影所体现的的单一性或多重性。照片拍摄了这片平坦而广袤的土地。作品通过描绘特定时期、特定环境下的南非景象,表现人的忧郁、失落和向往。
Sojourn is a photographic series of landscape images taken over a period of six years across Southern Africa. Much of his work investigates the possibilities of single and multiple images as cinematic and thereby plays with the veiling of meanings and narratives. The photographs in this collection are about that skin, a flat expanse of a body that recedes into the hinterland and more importantly into the interior.His works are often positioned within particular timeframes and frameworks within Southern Africa evoking melancholia, loss and longing.
