新概念閱讀：移動相館創(chuàng)意攝影

Shanghai-based artist Maleonn spent eight months traveling 35 cities in 25 Chinese provinces last year, photographing over a thousand of ordinary people for free in a mobile photo studio and posting the images on his Weibo account. Now he has become an Internet hit either home or aboard.

去年，上海藝術(shù)家馬良花8個月的時間走遍了全國25個省份的35個城市，在他的移動照相館里給一千多名普通人免費拍照，并將照片發(fā)布在微博上。如今，他已經(jīng)成為了國內(nèi)外的網(wǎng)絡(luò)紅人。

Maleonn took photos for around 1,600 people who were dressed in unusual fancy dress and surrounded by strange props of all shapes and sizes, with subjects ranging from tank drivers and policemen to Tang Dynasty scholars. “I don’t know what the point of this is, or what will happen next, I just know I made 1,600 people very happy,” he says.

馬良先后為大約1600人拍攝了照片，照片中的人穿著奇裝異服，身邊滿是各式各樣的奇怪道具，其拍攝主題有坦克駕駛員、警察和唐代學(xué)者等。他說：“我不知道這么做有什么意義和影響，只知道我讓這1600人很高興。”

There are many bizarre photos in his collection. For example, a photograph features two “people in horse heads”, a “suicidal” clown and a beautiful young lady.

馬良的作品中有許多奇奇怪怪的照片。例如，一張照片拍的是兩個“馬頭人”、一個“自殺的”小丑和一個漂亮的年輕女子。

Maleonn launched the project of the mobile studio after losing his studio in an arts community in Shanghai, following a government eviction of artists. He said, “I became tired of contemporary art, the system, dealing with critics and curators behind closed doors. I wanted to do something with ordinary people.”

馬良以前的工作室位于上海的一個藝術(shù)社區(qū)，后來政府將那里的藝術(shù)家趕了出來，于是他便發(fā)起了移動照相館活動。他說：“我厭倦了當(dāng)代藝術(shù)和體制，那需要暗地里與評論家和策展人打交道。我想創(chuàng)作一些關(guān)于普通人的藝術(shù)。”

He put out the idea on his Weibo account, and was overwhelmed by the response. Then he spent seven months preparing for the project, including painting the sets and backgrounds, preparing costumes, producing the props, purchasing a truck and arranging locations. Eventually, he established a set of guidelines.

他在微博上寫下自己的想法后收到了極大的反響。接著，他花了7個月的時間籌備這次活動，其中包括給布景刷上油漆、準(zhǔn)備服飾、制造道具、買卡車和安排地點，最終確立了一系列方案。

Having completed his travels around China, Maleonn spoke of the possibility of taking the mobile studio project to Britain.

在完成國內(nèi)的旅行后，馬良談及他將有可能在英國舉辦移動照相館活動。
