Monograph of mainland Chinese photographer Tian Ye. Works featured in this publication are from three different series: Wandering Slowly (2002-2009), Memory of a Peach Bower (2007-2009), and Dimness (2009).

'The first of Tian Ye's works which I have seen were from his series Wandering Slowly, five or six years ago. The photographs offer a unique perspective on the periphery between the city and the suburbs. This series' interplay between a spectator and a contemplative angle shows the vacant view of a loner, and also encapsulates Tian Ye's key characteristic.

Within Memory of a Peach Bower, the picture's foreground presents relatively distinct blossoming flowers, and constitutes the picture's key element. Yet, through the well-placed flowers and branches, we can also glimpse some vague silhouettes of ancient couples hidden in the midst of the flowers under the trees. The indistinct figures and dim shadows of flowers are superimposed, jointly constructing an ambiguous... romantic fantasy.' - from text by Gu Zheng.

With artist biography.



本書為中國攝影師田野之專集, 涵蓋了他從2002年到2009年創作的三個系列: 《慢慢的游走》、《桃花源記》及《混沌》。

'最初接觸到的田野的作品是他的《慢慢的遊走》系列。 那已經是五六年前的事情了。 這個系列的照片所呈現的是內地城市里城與鄉之間的邊緣地帶中的一種獨特景觀。 這個系列以一種兼有旁觀與沈思的視角呈現了一個孤獨者的茫然視野, 也顯現拍攝者田野的某種特殊氣質。

在《桃花源記》裡, 畫面的前景是較為清晰的綻放的花朵, 並且構成畫面的主要成份。 而透過疏密有致的花朵與騰挪揖讓的枝叉, 我們還可看到一些影影綽綽的古代男女隱身於花叢樹下。 隱約的人物形象與朦朧的花影疊合在一起, 共同營造出一種迷離奇幻的...浪漫想像。
