在某时

In Some Time

蒋鹏奕  JIANG PENGYI

《在某时》是在《幽暗之爱》(2014)之后做的，在那个时候我这样想：摄影不能被它的"客观性"束缚，我并不相信所谓“天生具有的正确性”能绑架一切，我更倾向于质疑一切，包括质疑自己。也就是说，摄影不能在固化的摄影美学环境里自我循环而不提出抗议，它应该察觉自己内在的不确定性并反思这种不确定性的来源。摄影应该是探寻而不是去定夺。

After finishing the series Dark Addiction (2014)，I started to do the series In Some Time. During that time, I thought that photography could not be fully defined as its' objectivity, and I do not believe that an object shall be bound by its' natural definition that believed to be correct, I'd like to question everything, including myself. What I want to say is that photography is supposed to find the uncertainty and do self-examination by the uncertainty rather than cycle itself in the environment of mature photography aesthetics without protest. Photography here should explore rather than decide.

同时，我觉得还有一种无目的图像：让视觉想象无对应物：先消除对感光材料固有的判断、喜好和控制，让时间、空间、距离、热情、冷漠、现状、记忆、悬殊、质疑……以及自己的腐败、认知的局限……等等自然而然形成形状和颜色。这就是我做《在某时》系列，以及之后的《预见》(2018)、《太阳！太阳！》(2018-2019)系列的原始初衷。

Meanwhile, I believe there should be a kind of image that has no object to match with, which means the imagination of an image in one's mind can't be described as any shaped object. Eliminating the first preference and control of the photosensitive material but letting time, space, distance, enthusiasm, coldness, status, memory, disparity, suspicion and the limitation of corruption & consciousness become shaped and colourful. This is the original inspiration and expectance of doing the series In Some Time, so do the later series Foresight (2018) and Sun! Sun! (2019-2019).
