本书记录了Vera Lutter在洛杉矶县立艺术博物馆 (LACMA)的雄心勃勃的驻馆工作,描述了这位艺术家的工作过程,并展示了她长达两年的摄影项目的图片。
Vera Lutter的作品将她和她的针孔摄像机带到了世界各地,最近一次是作为驻馆艺术家来到LACMA。Lutter在博物馆外放置了一台移动式的暗箱相机,拍摄了校园建筑的外部,这些图像改变了20世纪中期和后期的建筑。她使用一台巨大的相机,嵌入该博物馆的Old Masters画廊中,拍摄了古典安装房间的长视角,呼应了博物馆内部的历史绘画。最后,Lutter用四台较小的相机,拍摄了LACMA馆藏的各种作品,将色彩斑斓的画作转化为空灵的黑白影像。与数字化摄影相比,数字化摄影可以让艺术家对产品进行微调和完善,而Lutter的模拟针孔照片则让人对这一媒介的起源有了新的认识。
Documenting Vera Lutter’s ambitious residency at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, this book traces the artist’s process and features images from her two-year-long photography project.
Vera Lutter's work has taken her and her pinhole camera all over the world, most recently to LACMA as its artist in residence. Stationing a mobile camera obscura outside the museum, Lutter captured the exterior of the campus buildings in images that transform the mid- and late-20th century architecture. Using an enormous camera, custom-built into the museum's Old Masters gallery, she captured the long perspective on the classically installed room, echoing historical paintings of museum interiors. Finally, with four smaller cameras, Lutter photographed various works in the LACMA collection, transforming colourful paintings into ethereal black-and-white images. In contrast to digitised photography, which allows artists to fine-tune and perfect their product, Lutter's analogue pinhole photographs are a refreshing reminder of the medium's origins.
