It is no longer an accurate description of events,
It is based on a certain emotional atmosphere bc.game app vivid experience as the creative standard。
March 23, 2019,Japanese bc.game app critic Kotaro Iizawa gave a lecture titled "The Private Nature of bc.game app" at Hengshan Heji in Shanghai。Lecture in progress,He cited Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki’s 1971 bc.game app collection "Sentimental Journey" as an example,Lead readers through the 108 photos in the album one by one,Interpretation of Araki’s “narrative private bc.game app” using documentary photos of his wedding trip。
In "Sentimental Journey",The picture is real,But time is disrupted,Araki Nobuyoshi uses the scene intention sequence of "life-death-rebirth",Tells a story with “certain universal emotional resonance”。Iizawa Kotaro thinks,Araki Nobuyoshi "wanted to shoot this photo album in the form of a bc.game app novel",The characteristic of bc.game app novels is,The reader cannot be sure that the "I" in the book is the "I" writing。
"Sentimental Journey"。The above is the handwritten title "Sentimental Journey",What is written below is "Limited to 1000 copies",bc.game app middle is their wedding photo。
This is related to Japanese cultural traditions,Kotaro Iizawa mentioned "the birth of private bc.game app" in "Notes on the History of Japanese bc.game app 2",Perhaps it can also be seen as revisiting the tradition of deep connection between Japanese bc.game app and haiku"。
Camera Mainichi’s then editor-in-chief Shoji Yamagishi called this shift in perspective “a shift from a matter of public opinion to an extremely personal expression” in a column in the March 1975 issue,And “This approach at least returns to the tradition of ‘bc.game app novels’ in Japanese literature,That is, looking for trust and truth in the object of ‘bc.game app’”。
"Like Japanese tanka and haiku,They are all singing praises、Sentiment about some things around you,In fact, it may be a sensitivity deeply rooted in Japanese culture,Like private novels,From there, in the field of bc.game app,A further developed branch。" Iizawa told "Curiosity Daily"。
The emergence of such a "private" tendency in bc.game app,It is also related to the social environment in Japan at that time。Japanese politics after World War II、Society、The cultural structure has been greatly shaken,Demonstrations continue to occur on university campuses and on the streets,The society is filled with an atmosphere of restlessness caused by anti-war。In the context of the social movements of the 1960s,A new form of bc.game app with a "private" tendency appears in Japan。
But this is not a form of bc.game app that starts with a concept,But from the 1970s,By Araki、Moriyama Avenue、Zhongping Zhuoma、Photographers such as Masahisa Fukase took the lead with their own practices,A branch of bc.game app that is gradually being called “private bc.game app” by critics。In fact,This form of bc.game app was clearly called “private bc.game app” only in the late 1980s。
The bc.game app magazine "Provocation" born in November 1968,Is a starting point for the development of "private bc.game app"。The magazine has a "rough, shaky, out of focus" style,Proclaim that bc.game app can get rid of ideology、Get rid of becoming a tool to transport reality。Zhongping Zhuoma who founded "Provocation"、Taki Koji、Takanashi Yutaka and others proposed the slogan of capturing "fragments of the real world that cannot be grasped in words",No more precise description of events,It is based on a certain emotional atmosphere in the vivid experience as the creative standard。
Photographer、Image critic Zhongping Zhuoma published "For the Coming Language" in 1970。This photo album and "Provocation" rebel against the mainstream、Consistent style that resists traditional aesthetics,The photo is the current atmosphere captured by Zhongping with the help of his personal "physical touch",At that time, it was a "smell of violence buried deep bc.game app dark night"。
The print run of "Provocation" at the time was 1,000 copies,Only 500 copies sold。 Iizawa said bc.game app interview: “Now everyone thinks it is a very powerful magazine,Has a good reputation bc.game app world。But its influence was only 500 copies at that time,So I don’t want everyone to deify it too much。”
The magazine only published three issues。By March 1970,The stand-alone book "Abandon the Specious World First" composed of photos and essays marks the end of the substantive activities of "Provocation"。But society is beginning to realize the importance of documentary bc.game app、In addition to reportage bc.game app, there is also a kind of "exploring yourself and your surrounding environment、bc.game app with a "private" tendency in the relationship between oneself and others。Under this tendency,such as Nobuyoshi Araki、Photographers such as Fukase Masahisa have carried out their own bc.game app practices。
Kotaro Iizawa, born in 1954, is a Japanese bc.game app critic,Graduated from the bc.game app Department of the Art Department of Nihon University,Ph.D., Graduate School of Arts, University of Tsukuba。Due to "finding that I lack the talent and desire as a photographic art creator",Turn to study bc.game app。His main works include "Welcome to the bc.game app Museum"、"On Private bc.game app"、"The Era of "Women's bc.game app"" and "Thoughts on bc.game app", etc.。
His time in graduate school,It happened to be the period when "private bc.game app" was active in the 1970s,This is the biggest reason why he continues to study "private bc.game app"。Since the 1980s,Iizawa introduced and commented on the works of famous photographers represented by Araki Nobuyoshi,The Japanese version of "Private bc.game app Theory" was published in 2000 ("bc.game app" is the Japanese name for "bc.game app")。
In the opinion of Kotaro Iizawa,Broadly speaking,So a photo with a photographic subject (i.e. the person taking the photo),All can be called "private bc.game app"。And when the person taking the photo consciously explores himself through taking photos、And the relationship between "I" and the surrounding environment and others,It is the narrow sense of "private bc.game app" that "On Private bc.game app" wants to focus on。
So,Family photo albums of ordinary families belong to the broad sense of "private bc.game app"。And like the Japanese photographer Ueda Masaharu, "consciousness、Spontaneously want to take pictures of my family”,And “explore him and his family through bc.game app、The connection between families”,That is, "private bc.game app" in a narrow sense。
If you think about it the other way around, "Is there any bc.game app in the world that is not a 'private bc.game app'?"Iizawa thinks about this,The bank’s monitor may not be,Because there is no one behind the monitor (the subject of the bc.game app),Other than that, it may all be “private bc.game app” in a broad sense。He cited artist Xu Bing’s work "Dragonfly Eyes" as an example,This is a project that uses a large number of surveillance videos on the Internet,A "feature-length film" that has been edited and re-dubbed to tell the story。Iizawa thinks this is a very interesting work,“As an ‘anti-bc.game app’ device… there is no one operating it,But it has a kind of autonomy。”
But he is not trying to propose a "only correct answer",It is expressed as “I hope to actively grasp the ambiguity attached to the word ‘private bc.game app’ and the breadth of its meaning”。To define “private bc.game app”,Discern the possibility,“The first thing that must be done is to discuss the creative behavior of several photographers、Research”。Select Zhongping Zhuoma in "Private bc.game app Theory"、Fukase Masahisa、Araki、Four photographers Shigeo Ushiuchi,With their lives、Creative background、Social commentary at the time、Photographer’s self-explanation,And the attitude of those around them,Trying to show the possibility of "private bc.game app"。
These four are photographers that Iizawa has long followed and commented on,They occupy a very solid place bc.game app history of Japanese photographic expression,“Sometimes it even achieves the effect of causing a huge change bc.game app direction of history”。
Masahisa Fukase, born in 1934,His creative career has experienced a very obvious change in style。In Iizawa’s opinion,He is a photographer possessed by "inexplicable impulses",“There is no other photographer like Masahisa Fukase,Continue to be obsessed with bc.game app as a method of expression"。
Iizawa Masahisa Fukase’s solo exhibition from "Killing Pigs"、bc.game app Collection "Game"、The creative process from "Crow" to "Family" and "Father's Memory",See it as the process of "something disappearing bit by bit from his photographic world"。If this disappeared thing is seen from the physical perspective,It’s his wife Yoko、The deep loneliness in his heart、And hometown and family。bc.game app for Fukase,"It is the light that illuminates the darkness,It’s the pendant hanging from the front end of the rope used to measure the depth of the well”,He is exploring himself through bc.game app ("Pendant")。Fukase fell down the stairs after being drunk in 1992、In the series "Private View 1992" created before losing consciousness,He uses his face or body part in the mirror,And means "everything photographed,It can be said that it is all a reflection of myself,It’s a ‘private scene’”。
These works of Fukase Masahisa are regarded by Iizawa as "somewhat unique、An attempt to thoroughly explore ‘private bc.game app’”,"If you don't take that risk,I guess I can’t see the true face of that annoying yet charming monster.”。

In "Private bc.game app",Araki Nobuyoshi is probably the most well-known。His practice in the field of "private bc.game app" has a "unique breadth",He is also the only photographer among the four photographers in the book who still shoots frequently。Due to the large number of Araki’s creations,Photobooks published before 2000、The collection of dialogues alone is close to 200 volumes。Even if we only analyze Araki from the perspective of "private bc.game app",It’s not easy either。Iizawa selects two points in the book to discuss his "private bc.game app" creation - Araki who photographed his wife,With Araki who puts his own image into his bc.game app。
Nobuyoshi Araki, who was born in a civilian area of Tokyo in 1940,After graduation, I worked in the bc.game app department of the advertising agency Dentsu。He met his wife Yoko at Dentsu,The two were married in 1971。Araki Nobuyoshi's "Sentimental Journey" which announced the birth of "private bc.game app" in Japan,Taken during their wedding trip。
This is not a photo album that entirely depicts what a wedding looks like。In the first volume of "Sentimental Journey",Araki wrote in the epistolary "Private Novel Declaration" written by his left hand: "I don't mean 'because I photographed my wedding trip'",So these are real photos’…that’s what I’ve always felt,Private novel is the most appropriate way to describe my bc.game app。And,I think,Private novels are the closest to bc.game app。I just arranged the photos according to the wedding trip itinerary"。
This is also the biggest feature of Araki’s “private bc.game app”—the indistinguishable confusion between private life and stories。In his subsequent creations,He even adjusted the digital dial directly,Mixing real dates with fake dates,For example, in "The Pseudo Diary of Araki" published in 1980,“4.1 April Fool's Day" and "8.15 Japan’s Defeat Day” There are surprisingly many photos on such dates。
In "Sentimental Journey",Araki removed the joy of the wedding trip,Instead, I selected a lot of expressions that were "immersed in sorrow"。He even depicts "death" bc.game app middle part of the album,Choose a half-eaten apple that looks like a skeleton、A sarcophagus-like bench、The boat going down the river,Interspersed with the intention of death (alien)。
And in this album,There are also many very private sexual scenes。This is also why some people misinterpret "private bc.game app" as just nudity、Sexual bc.game app。For "private bc.game app","Basis for judging whether sex scenes appear,Based solely on whether it is necessary for the story。”
Iizawa regards the sex scenes in "Sentimental Journey" as "a ritual to bring Yoko from the world of death back to the world of life"。The famous photo of Yoko curled up on the boat,Interpreted as "Yangzi as the deceased"。So,“The “sex” in Araki’s bc.game app does not exist simply to express “sex”,But because they are necessary to the story。”
Iizawa said bc.game app lecture:
“This is a wedding trip,So Yoko should be happy,But she didn’t react happily at all bc.game app photo。There is not a single photo of her smiling in this photo album。But it was actually bc.game app color photos of the wedding trip that were released later,Yangzi smiled happily。”
“Actually, what he took was a stone bench,But it looks particularly like a coffin。Like this,There are a lot of images of death。”
Iizawa said bc.game app lecture:
“Yoko sleeping on the boat。Infer based on the progress of this story,This is Yoko as the deceased,And her posture,It is also consistent with the posture of the fetus floating bc.game app amniotic fluid bc.game app mother's belly,But in fact,She is a 23-year-old young bride。”
“Through the daily sex scenes of newlyweds,Araki pulled Yoko from the world of death back to the world of life。Add sex scenes to this story flow,I think this is also a reflection of Araki’s unique narrative ability。”
Yoko is the first and best critic of Araki’s photographic practices。She is not afraid of seeing herself like this frequently in Araki’s photos,But "observe herself and her relationship with Araki as shown bc.game app photos and think about it repeatedly"。For Araki’s photo of her hand holding Xia Cheng,What Yoko felt was that "he on the opposite side was also eating summer oranges,And when he pressed the shutter directly with his hand that smelled of summer orange... what he took was not my picture,It’s the strong feelings floating between me and him”。
Iizawa thinks,In this "relationship between shooting and being photographed",No one party is in a dominant position,or,There is no one-sided relationship in which one party gives and the other party accepts。
However,Even Yoko,There is an ambivalence between "I don't want to be photographed anymore" and "I will be lonely if I don't want to be photographed anymore"。She wrote in "My Love Life": "The latter mood,I always feel like I am being mercilessly abused。The relationship between men and women overlaps with the relationship between filming and being photographed,Continuously experiencing this dual profound relationship so profoundly,Worrying me,Are you no longer able to be satisfied bc.game app original simple relationship?”。
Yoko, the wife of another “private bc.game app” photographer Fukase Masahisa, also issued a similar complaint (more like an accusation),"Ten years,He lives with me on one side,Just looking at me in the camera,The me he photographed,Without a doubt,It’s just him。”
The photographer’s wives raised questions,That is, whether "private bc.game app" is a kind of "selfish" creative desire?Iizawa thinks,Private bc.game app is indeed a "selfish" behavior,But this needs to be understood from both negative and positive aspects。
He told Curiosity Daily: “Look at it negatively,Like an artist’s artistic creation behavior,It is indeed a trouble to the people around me、Excuse me。But look at the positive side,Because of the selfish behavior of the artist,It is indeed a breakthrough in art,This is also a good thing...but you cannot deny their artistic creation just because of this。If you want to criticize this kind of selfish artistic creation,Then there would be no art。”
Another special feature of Araki’s “private bc.game app” is,He always appears in his bc.game app。In "Sentimental Journey·Winter Journey", Araki was included in the wedding ceremony commemorative photos,Nobuyoshi Araki wearing a paper mask in the ward,Nobuyoshi Araki holding Yoko’s photo at the funeral,Nobuyoshi Araki riding the Odakyu Line home with an urn in his arms。He has no problem including such photos in his bc.game app collection,But "we" who looked at the photos accepted such behavior without hesitation。
If the "person who pressed the shutter" is strictly regarded as the photographer,It is inappropriate to regard such photos as Araki’s works。Then why “we” accepted it?Iizawa thinks,The "Arakis" appearing in the bc.game app,In fact, it is a symbol of Araki。And his iconic black-framed glasses and mustache image,"Probably also to completely symbolize myself"。
This is even more true in "Araki Nobuyoshi's Pseudo Diary",Araki himself appears in 19 of the 187 photos bc.game app album。bc.game app 1990s,Araki chose other forms of avatars to enter his works - the dinosaur known as "Komodo"、Lizard、Crocodile and other models。“Komodo” sometimes overlooks the neighborhood from the hotel balcony,sometimes placed next to Beethoven's tomb,Sometimes it is stuffed between the legs of plump women。bc.game app "A's Paradise" series,“Komodo” even got the status of protagonist。"Just shoot them,It will directly transform into ‘A’s Paradise’,Because ‘I was the one photographed’”。Araki lets himself be divided,Easily penetrate into the "human world" like a transparent person、Era、Inside "Subject",Complete the process of assimilation。
“Objects and symbols,Araki Nobuyoshi and ‘Araki’,He deliberately changed his position bc.game app photo,Make the boundaries between them ambiguous and difficult to distinguish。It is through this kind of photographic behavior,Continuously asking such a question,ie,The real and only ‘I’,Does it really exist?The ‘real face’ behind the mask does not exist。If you want to tear off the mask by force,Then it will only be torn off with the deeply embedded meat。Opposite,No matter what kind of mask it is,When worn on the body,All will become living skin with blood,Gradually becoming attached to ‘me’。”
Araki Nobuyoshi has walked a path of self-exploration here,And then through symbolization、The process of the clone making itself disappear。“Ideal private bc.game app status,While exploring myself,Make yourself disappear。”Iizawa explains this disappearance as the concept of “nothing” in Eastern philosophy。He believes: “With works like (Araki’s)—you have to pursue yourself first,Another attempt to eliminate self-work,Things that were ‘nothing’ from the beginning,It’s much more interesting。”
But this ideal state is difficult to achieve,"Ask yourself、Explore yourself,In fact, the more you ask,You will become less and less aware of who you are”。None of the four photographers in the book achieved this ideal state,In the later stages of their private bc.game app practice,"Zhongping Zhuoma lost his memory,Masahisa Fukase is almost committing a ‘suicidal’ act,Shigeo Ushiucha also passed away at a very young age”。
Araki Nobuyoshi who continues to "dream about eliminating himself",He was also publicly accused last year by KaoRi, a model he has photographed for 16 years。KaoRi posted《Is this kind of knowledge really correct? 》’s long article,mentioned that he was "forced to be naked",Forced to take nude photos in front of many people,Using an explicit title like "KaoRi's Sex Diary" without consulting Araki。These actions caused KaoRi’s mental stress,Encountered "being followed,Breaked into home,Photo album stolen,Trash turned over,A weird postcard without a postmark was stuffed into the mailbox”。Under the influence of the #MeToo movement bc.game app United States,KaoRi "I feel that there is no need to continue to devote myself to the fiction he constructed"。
Iizawa wrote an article in 2018Articleexpressed his views on this incident。While reading KaoRi’s article,Iizawa’s strongest feeling is that times have changed。He also mentioned the changing times bc.game app interview with Curiosity Daily,The transformation of the relationship between Araki and the model。
"bc.game app early days,Araki has a very good relationship with the models around him,Because models want to express themselves,Araki also needed their performance at that time,So the relationship between them is harmonious。bc.game app 1990s,Young girls will go to Araki by themselves,I hope Araki can come and take pictures of them,Nude photo shoot,(Araki) was very popular at that time。The biggest problem with KaoRi now is,After 2000,What the model needs,What Araki wants has taken a different turn,They can no longer get along,That’s why there is such a problem。”
KaoRi, who started working with Araki in 2001, was asked to participate bc.game app filming。“When Araki was creating bc.game app 1990s,In fact, the relationship between Araki and the model is more inclined to a common assignment,Let’s make a work together... Araki’s approach may not be a good one,It is mandatory for models to do such things,Not as good as the previous joint assignment。There are actually two subjects in (this),Model and Photographer,They are colliding。But like the early relationship between Araki and Fukase and their wives,It is the status of joint work,That state is ideal。”
The Chinese version of "Private bc.game app" was released in October 2018。In the 18 years since the Japanese version was published,The meaning of bc.game app has undergone considerable changes with the changes in communication media and equipment。bc.game app has moved from materialized silver salts to digital sensors,Moving towards mobile phones again in the past ten years。Although Iizawa attributes it to "uncontrollable、Irreversible、Open “private bc.game app characteristics”,Not much has changed。“But because of some network characteristics,It will get looser,Easy to spread。”
The Internet amplifies the transmission rate of images。Iizawa bc.game app KaoRi incidentPost22906_22916。“Another thing that has become prominent bc.game app digital age is,The choice to be naked is more dangerous than ever。Even if it’s a one-time adventure,The proliferation of the Internet can also cause unexpected troubles。”
The exhibition medium of bc.game app has experienced the photo album、After the exhibition form,Today everyone can hold a small screen。Current network environment,Everyone can spread their own "private bc.game app" (broad sense),Everyone can shape their own image on social media。Iizawa thinks this expression,Similar to Araki’s “symbolization” of himself decades ago。He said in the interview: “When people in the digital age take private photos,Is symbolizing myself。For example, everyone uses SNS,Those ‘I’s’ above are actually not the real ‘I’,Just a symbolic ‘I’。”
But the discussion of "Private bc.game app" stayed in 2000,Iizawa himself does not often use SNS,He hopes that the younger generation can understand the Internet era、Research on “private bc.game app” in the mobile phone era。
Due to the 18-year time difference,Iizawa feels that we should read "On Private bc.game app" today,It exists as a classic,The publication of the Chinese version of "On Private bc.game app" during this period is of great significance。In the past few years,Iizawa is often invited to China to give lectures on "private bc.game app",Last year, Three Shadows in Beijing also held a retrospective exhibition of Masaharu Ueda。He thinks “the current situation of bc.game app in China,It is on a parallel line with Japan (bc.game app) at that time。”
Under the changes of social transformation,People begin to explore themselves more,The convenience of bc.game app has given more people the possibility to explore through bc.game app。Professor Gu Zheng from Fudan University School of Journalism published in "Art Today" in 2006《"bc.game app",It’s your private life;Private life,Just in your bc.game app!”——On Private bc.game app in China》中,Attributes the social conditions that produced private bc.game app in China to “after the mid-1990s,Chinese society is transforming into a mass consumption society”。In the changes in social ideologies and values,The new generation of Chinese youth who grew up with the mass media,Began to use bc.game app as the main means to express my desire。
"It was the same in Japan at that time,bc.game app beginning, everyone was pursuing realism、Social Report,Then after we went through an evolution,Just started,Especially bc.game app 1990s when I started to explore myself,I think such a journey,Such an evolution has occurred in Japan before,Actually, it’s happening in China now。”
"Although before this,Chinese photographers have also made some bc.game app attempts to explore themselves,But I think after this,This theme will become stronger in China、More practical。”
