【攝影集 Photobook】1.99 李毓琪 Li Yu-Chi

對自我內心的剖析或是釐清一些裸露的感受時，會調動人的原始反應，這是我在教堂內第一次告解時的感受。我並不信仰實質意義上的宗教，但在這第一次的告解中我發現了與我拍攝時產生了相同的一種狀態。在教堂中拿的福音卡上印著「跟我來」的英文字樣，跟我來，雖然我們不知最終去向何處，但這種不斷重複、行走的狀態，恰恰與我創作的過程很相似。

每天，我在平坦的大地上行軍般地移動，過程中，我並不明確自己在找尋什麼，直到各類空地與停車場發現了我，並讓我凝望它們，以及隨處可見的色彩標誌。在高度色彩感官刺激的背後，恰巧與我在街頭拍攝人物肖像的感受相符：熱情洋溢、友善禮貌，但隨著數量漸多，取代這種親切友好的互動是其個體背後龐大的機制系統，個體化的差異幾乎消失，只有非常少數人們的拒絕經驗，才能感受到我是在與一位真實的人互動。

​這些色彩大多是實用主義的，城市成為一座巨大的遊戲場，個人成為角色，在匆忙的來去與親切的互動之下，形成一種「空殼」狀態，帶有空洞或是懸浮的意味。而這些空洞恰恰投射在那些空地之中，我在城市中遇見的空地或是停車場，它所擁有的巨大的空曠吸引我。它的空曠來自心理層面的一種感受，人們或車輛因為它們的功能性在上面短暫地停留又離去，而它的意義只有在被利用的時候才真正成立，大多數時間它成為一片容易被人忽略的空地，而這些空地都帶有一種孤獨和倔將的氣質。

它們似乎在等待一種最後的安息或是利用，並且承載了人內在無法說明的部分。—— 李毓琪

When analyzing the inner heart or clarifying some naked feelings, it will arouse the original reaction, this is how I felt when I first confessed in church. I don’t believe in religion in any substantive way, but in this first confession I found the same state that I developed when I was shooting. The Gospel card in the church I took is printed with the words "come with me." "come with me" , although we don’t know where to end up, but this state of constant repetition and walking is very similar to the process of my creation.
​
Every day, I march on the flat land, and in the process, I am not clear about what I am looking for, Until all kinds of open spaces and parking lots found me, and let me gaze at them, as well as the ubiquitous color signs. Behind the high-color sensory stimuli, it coincides with my experience of taking portraits of people on the street: enthusiastic, friendly and polite, but as the number increases, replacing this kind of friendly interaction is a huge mechanism behind the individual. The individualized differences have almost disappeared, only a very small number of people's rejection experience that can feel I am interacting with a real person.

Most of these colors are pragmatic, the city becomes a huge playground, and individuals become roles. In a hastily moving and cordial interaction, Forming a "shell" state, with a empty or suspended emotion, And these empty are projected precisely in those open spaces, The open space or parking lot that I met in the city, the huge emptiness it has attracted me. Its emptiness comes from the psychological level of a feeling that people or vehicles stay on it for a short time and leave because of its functionality. And its significance is established only when it is used, and most of the time it becomes a neglected space, which has a lonely and stubborn temperament.

They seem to be waiting for a final rest or use, and carrying the part of the human being that cannot be explained inside.—— Li Yu-Chi
