PICTURES by Ken Miller

「画像の全てが写真であるとは言えないが、全ての写真は『PICTURE』である。

今や日常生活においてどこにいても写真をみることができるようになったが、本作では写真というもの自体もまた何にでもなれるということを提示している。写真イメージが伝統的に作り上げられてきた定義に対し挑戦してきた、今の世代を代表するファッションやファインアート界で人気を得ている写真家に焦点を当て、作家たちの抽象的/非具象的な写真作品を紹介する。19世紀に写真が「新たな」メディアとして発見された当初の可能性を享受しながら、色鮮やかでワイルドなイメージを、カメラやプリント、太陽光でさえも利用した実験的な手法で生み出している。それは、我々が一般的に写真として考えてきたものとは全く異なる。このことは、写真とファインアートとの間にあり続けた相互作用を反映しており、そこでは写真がもたらした革新が現代アーティストにも影響を与えてきている。本作は、写真が捉えた被写体を観るのではなく、「写真」とは実際何なのか、ということを問いかけている。先述したようなファッションフォトグラファーや現代アーティストらによる作品を中心に、約50人の作家による200枚以上のイメージを収録。ほかにも冒頭には、マン・レイ(Man Ray)やイモージン・カニンガム(Imogen Cunningham)をはじめとした写真界のレジェンドに加え、ギイ・ブルダン(Guy Bourdin)やソール・ライター(Saul Leiter)の作品も併せて収録。ハーリー・ウィアー(Harley Weir)の作品を使用したポスター付き。

“Not all pictures are photographs, but all photographs are PICTURES.”

Today, in our daily lives, photographs can be seen almost anywhere; PICTURES shows that photographs can also be almost anything. PICTURES gathers abstract and non-representational photography, focusing on a current generation of photographers popular in fashion and fine art, who are challenging traditional definitions of the photographic image. Embracing the early potential of photography’s discovery as a ‘new’ medium in the 19th century, they are experimenting with the camera, printing, even sunlight to create wildly colorful images that look nothing like what we have generally come to think of as a photograph. In so doing, they reflect the longstanding interaction between photography and fine art, where innovations in photography have often
influenced contemporary artists. Instead of looking at the subject a photograph captures, PICTURES suggests that we look at what a photograph actually is. PICTURES includes 200+ large photographs from nearly 50 artists. Introductory section includes works by legends of photography such as Man Ray and Imogen Cunningham, plus cult artists Guy Bourdin and Saul Leiter. Main section includes large portfolios by contemporary artists and fashion photographers. The book also comes with a folded poster by photographer Harley Weir.
