  • 80± ─ 80後眼中的80後 – a photo project by Mary Lee

    80± ─ 80後眼中的80後a photobook project by Mary Lee –只是一些1980年代成長的人的肖像。「80後」這個詞被人說得太多了，說濫了，甚至變成了專有名詞，象徵了某幾種對80年代出生的年輕人的描寫分析：高深的、陰謀論的、批判的、片面的，但都是別人附加於我們身上的。標籤成為了沒有意義的符號。所以，這一次，不以文字，只以影像，由我們自己來說明，80後眼中的80後。–我們成長於一個很有趣的世代。因著數碼化相機的普及，每一個80後至少擁有一部私人相機。拍照不再是大時大節時才做的事，也不是專業攝影師的特權，拿著一部手提電話，我們已經能拍照。也有的回歸菲林相機，Toy Camera 如LOMO、Polaroid，甚至針孔相機，在80後之間也越發受歡迎。不論是自拍還是拍身邊的人，我們對自身和身邊的人的感覺是越發敏銳，也越發希望以自己的角度出發，去拍我們眼中的自己和世界。–這攝影集集結了各行各業的80前後人像作品，他們有的是攝影師，有的是藝術家，但更多的是跟藝術行業完全無關的人，也有在學中的學生。當中有數碼相機、LOMO、Polaroid、Fuji Mini、針孔相機等各種形式的作品。沒有專業業餘優劣之分，只想呈現各位愛拍照的80後眼中的80後而已。這次特別選出了取景於日常香港的人像作品，想藉此也表現出80後跟這個城市的關係。– **** 80± ─ 80後眼中的80後: a photobook project by Mary Lee策劃 ：Mary Lee 李挽靈網址 ：http://80photobook.blogspot.com電郵 ：80photobook@gmail.com–出版 ：李挽靈發表日期 ：2010年香港書展，kubrick 獨家發售（攤位1B-D36)定價 ：港幣90元ISBN ：978-988-19458-1-5––Mary Lee’s photography was published in issue #1, issue…
