1976年出身的摄影师Thomas Jorion现在居住在巴黎，他主要拍摄城市，建筑废墟，展现材料物质与时间的关系。在Silencio系列中，Thomas Jorion摄影中对光影的运用技巧被发挥得淋漓极致。观众在感触之外，开始主动去“理解”这些已经失去意义和功能的空间图像。灯光暗淡也许会让注意到星空的浩瀚。而背后支撑这一切的精神力量似乎来自另外一个维度，摄影师力图抓住并将其真实的展现。这些场地，不再为原有而存在，不再为原有而熟悉，像是另外一个梦幻，神秘的世界。
Thomas Jorion’s photographs lavish in the play of light and shadow, of artifice and nature. The spectator can’t help but be drawn in. Looking at these images, one goes beyond merely contemplating the subject and begins to truly “understand” it. We experience a sense of freedom before these images of constructed spaces whose original function has been lost, as when a dimly lit concrete ceiling riddled with holes conjures, remarkably, a starry night’s sky.
An impenetrable spirit emanates from these pictures that seem to come from another dimension. But which one? The photographer’s deep investigation into these spaces reveals their mysterious nature, which becomes it’s true raison d’être. For don’t all mysteries keep one guessing, reflecting? This is what Thomas Jorion’s photographs suggest, the dreamlike nature of places that no longer serve the purposes for which they were built, the uncanny aesthetic of sites that are no longer familiar.
