白洁 摄影 硕士预科

我很幸运选择摄影作为创作道路，它创造了一种艺术视角能让我与世界链接。我也通过镜头将图像与其他的媒介相结合，不仅拓宽了图像与影像应用的方向，也探索了展呈方式在其中发挥到的重要作用。

在我的作品《星元街》，我使用多种媒介制作了一本手工书，通过影像的记录与实质性的材质们的互相融合碰撞，我努力创造对我逝去的父亲的立体回忆。在《双重房间》中，通过记录我与我双胞胎姐姐的图像作品，来表达与思考双胞胎的固有个性与多样性的可能。《身体发肤》是我国传统成语，意味着对自身身体的珍视，我以这个名字命名一组邀请许多曾经跟我一样有身体羞耻感的素人模特进行拍摄。通过与他们的交流与作品的呈现来寻找他们心中美与丑的边界，以及我们这个社会对于美与丑的定义。天津是我学习生活了若干年的城市，它代表着许多中国二、三线城市，在全球化与中产化的潮流中漂流。其历史文化与快速现代化之间形成的鲜明的对比，在《噪音中的寂静》作品中，我重点观察它的混沌与美丽交织的气息。

我创作的个系列主题包括广泛性的社会问题，比如女性权利、消费注意和城市文化。对于这些问题的批判性思考，并令人鼓舞的引起了社会大众的积极反思。

因此我认为通过图像、影像所表达的社会与政治问题，其背后是当代艺术激发讨论与思考而对社会做出的贡献。

Photography

I am fortunate to study Photography, a medium that allows me to appreciate and engage with the world through the artistic lens. My intense interest lies in integrating photography with other mediums, exploring its practical applications, and engaging in contemporary curation.

In my piece Xingyuan Street, I created a handmade book using various mediums, merging recorded images with tangible materials to create a multidimensional memory of my late father. In "Double Room," I captured images of myself and my twin sister to express and contemplate the inherent individuality and diversity of twins. Inspired by the Chinese idiom "Shen Ti Fa Fu," which emphasises self-care, I named a collection in which I invited non-models who, like me, struggled with body shame to explore societal definitions of beauty and ugliness.

Tianjin, a city where I lived and studied for many years, represents many second and third-tier cities in China that are adrift in the currents of globalization and middle-class development. The stark contrast between its historical culture and rapid modernization is the focus of my work Silence amidst Noise, which observes the chaotic yet beautiful intertwining of the two.

My self-initiated projects address a wide range of social issues, including women’s rights, consumerism, and urban cultures. It is encouraging to engage in constructive criticism of social issues in order to stimulate reflection and encourage positive change.

I believe that by expressing social and political issues through images and videos, contemporary art can stimulate discussion and contribute to our society.
