Feng Li - Good Night

€45.00

Reading Feng Li's images requires almost no words. The only thing you need to do is stare at his photos.

In 2017, before the Chinese photographer Feng Li published his first collection of works, he arrived at the fake magazine publishing house with a large number of photos. His color photos had a strong impact, prompting the publication of "White Night," a selection of his colorful photographic works from 2005 to 2015. The abandoned black-and-white photos remained uncollected in book form. However, Feng Li claimed that these black-and-white photos were the origin of "White Night," stemming from a lighting feast in the suburbs of Chengdu in 2005.

That feast opened a window for him, revealing, "This is how the world is"—a state of vagueness filled with uncertainty. From that moment on, he maintained an instinctive and direct way of observing and shooting "White Night." Despite the different colors, the images in the book "Good Night" still bear Feng Li's distinctive gaze. Feng Li defines these photos as monochrome, rather than the traditional sense of black and white photography. In his eyes, black is also a color—a "heavy" color, bidding farewell to some good times.

Chinese photographer Feng Li (No.223) was born in 1971 and currently resides in Chengdu. Through Feng Li's lens, almost every scene is captured with a flash, resulting in bizarre images, as if all the absurdity and coincidences in the world have converged before him. His 2017 color photography collection "White Night" was nominated for the annual photography book awards by photo-eye and LensCulture. In 2022, he published the black-and-white photography collection "Good Night."

閱讀馮立的影像，幾乎不需要文字，唯一需要做的，就是緊盯這些照片。

2017 年，中國攝影師馮立出版首本作品集之前，他帶著海量的照片來到假雜誌出版社。受到他那些彩色照片的強烈衝擊，假雜誌為他出版了《白夜》，精選其 2005－2015 年的彩色攝影作品，其中被捨棄的黑白照片，一直沒有正式集結成冊。但馮立說，這些黑白照片才是《白夜》的由來，它緣起於 2005 年成都郊外的一場燈光盛宴。

那場盛宴為他開啟了一扇窗戶，「這世界原來如此」——那是一種模糊的狀態，充斥著不確定。從那一刻起，他始終保持著一種本能的觀看和直接的方式進行著《白夜》的拍攝。儘管色彩不同，本書《Good Night》中的圖像依然是馮立式的觀看。而馮立對這些照片的定義是單色，而非傳統意義上的黑白照片。在他眼裡，黑色也是一種色彩，是一種「沉」的顏色，也恰以此告別，告別一些美好的時光。

中國攝影師馮立（自由猪）生於 1971 年，現居成都。在馮立的鏡頭下，無論什麼場景，幾乎一律以閃光燈拍攝，畫面怪誕，彷彿世界上所有的荒謬和巧合都落到了他的面前。2017 年出版彩色攝影集《白夜》，榮獲 photo-eye 年度攝影書及 LensCulture 年度攝影書提名。2022 年出版黑白攝影集《Good Night》。
