在中國文化中，“土地”這個詞匯，是有著特別的意思的。從本質上說，我們的歷史就是與土地之間的關系史。不同于游牧民族和草原與森林的關系，中國農耕的生產方式，注定了我們祖先和具體的土地之間的關系。土地在經濟生產中是我們歷來的資源，我們的一切歷史也是在這個具體的詞匯上展開的。在太平洋東岸一片可以耕耘的土地，孕育和滋養(yǎng)了我們的文明。 攝影普及以來，鋪天蓋地的影像覆蓋了人們的生活。但是在無邊的影像中，卻極少看見認真關注土地的。眾多的攝影人，很少意識到土地是需要我們認真注視和觀看的。土地在眾人的影像中只是一個襯托人物的簡單背景，是農村題材影像的必要鋪墊，甚至是所謂畫面構成的必要元素。我們愛看好看的圖片，卻忘了讓我們安身立命的這片土地。上世紀的陜西攝影，曾經具有表現(xiàn)土地的傾向，但卻并未走向深遠。 劉立宏先生所拍攝的《土地》，是讓我們能夠聞得到土地氣息的影像。在這些影像中——東北大平原的土地寬廣、雄闊，具有史詩般的氣度；土地上的東北人們與作物則傳達出卓然不同于其他地域的風韻。劉立宏使用了一種壓迫性呈現(xiàn)的方式，平面性的單調恰恰是一種強調作者感覺必要的策略。我們在劉立宏的這些影像中，感受到了他對這片土地的理解和一泓深情。 策展人：鮑昆 The Land In Chinese culture the word “l(fā)and” has special meanings much beyond the surface. In essence our history has been a history of our relationship with the land. Unlike the relationship between nomads and the forest and grassland, our ancestors had a much deeper tie with their land, as determined by China’s farming mode of production. Land has been the resource in our economic life, and furthermore, the arable land on the east coast of the Pacific has nurtured and nourished our civilization. Ever since photography became a popular pastime, images started flooding in and covering people’s lives like never before. In the vast mass of images, however, little attention is paid to the land itself. Most are not aware that the land deserves our attention and careful viewing. In images of most people, the land is a mere backdrop for humans, a necessary background for rural-themed images, or even an element for image composition. We tend to enjoy pretty pictures but forget the land we live off of. The Shaanxi photography in the previous century made some attempts but stopped at one step short. Liu Lihong’s “Land” series bring us the vast and boundless land of Northeast China with epic grandeur, so strong we could smell the fragrance of the earth. The Northeasterners and their crops give off their unique flavor too. Liu used an almost oppressive way of presentation, a strategy of using monotonously flat images to highlight the artist’s sentiments. In these images we unmistakably recognize his emotional attachment to this land. Curator: Bao Kun
