国家美术·关注丨时间永远分岔，通向无数的未来

时间的分岔

——傅百林摄影个展

文：项苙苹

“时间永远分岔，通向无数的未来。”

——豪•路•博尔赫斯

海德格尔说: “人在根基处就是诗意地栖居”，“诗意使居住成为居住”，“但是在今天的居住之中，哪里还有为诗意留下的空间和时间？”人的追名逐利和四处攀缘，在根本上背离了其居住本性。在海德格尔眼里，我们自认为便捷美好的现代化生活，只是活着而已。更可悲的是，我们身处贫乏和幽暗之中，却不自知。好在，我们有艺术家。他们敏锐地察觉到了人类精神的贫乏，神性的远离和世界的幽暗，他们创造性的工作能填补贫乏时代和诗意栖居二者的裂缝。

本真的存在

傅百林的生活状态就像海德格尔所称羡的本真的存在: “一旦我们选择了自己的志业，我们的生活就既是生活在现在，又是生活在未来，同时又和过去相联，一切都当下化，我们的生命就在这个志业中绽放起来，一种生命的激情将涌动着……”他听从了内心的呼唤和自然的召唤，放弃数码技术的便利，回归了胶片摄影创作，并深入探寻自然的神秘宏壮。他始终以这种本真状态对待他的生命和摄影创作，这是一种超越性的、热情充溢的状态，一种以未来反观过去、倒转性的时间感受方式，因而他总是有足够的力量排除其追随心灵之旅上的种种障碍。

时间的分岔

傅百林的摄影创作让加速度运行、熙攘噪杂、钢筋混凝土筑就的城市在此骤然分岔，带来了人迹罕至的大自然野性不羁、纯净无染的片刻。那不请自来通体雪白的野马，那飞花似箭动如脱兔的激流，那蓝光悠悠静若处子的冰川，那缀满阳光闪金烁银的枝头，那暗黑海面上皎洁的月光，无不闪耀着神性的光辉和蓬勃的生机。天空和大地，是现代人的欲望和权力角逐的战场。傅百林却以纯真相待，为我们呈现了不是作为客体被驯服、改造的对象化的自然。恰如罗兰•巴尔特对风景本质的概括：“面对这些我喜爱的风景，一切就像我确实在那里待过，或者应该到那里去。”

双面的时机

对于摄影而言，拍摄时机具有决定性意义。傅百林不仅善于把握时机、制造时机，亦能化不利局面为良机。如拍摄《海No.20》时，海上暴风雨骤起，人们纷纷躲进船舱，傅百林却坚持冒雨工作，抓拍了大海向他所呈现的独特而隐秘的美——灰蓝色的大海，雨滴滑落，牵出丝丝水线，隐隐约约，若断似续。海面波涛起伏，波浪被暗沉的天色抽象化为中国古代绘画中的水纹：波浪先勾线再敷染，偶有白色的浪花点缀其间，波纹和颜色渐渐向远处舒缓淡化，最后水天融为一色。在时机的选择上，既有对过去经验的召回，也有对未来趋势的预判，最终成败取决于现在的行动力。这些珍贵画面的成功摄取，正是在于傅百林一贯的本真状态，一旦做出决断后的坚持和全情投入，如此，时机方成其为时机。人怎样活动着、存在着，人就是什么。傅百林便是这样一个活在当下，本真地存在，听从内心的声音，善于把握时机的当代人。

傅百林的摄影创作是他和被拍摄对象之间量子态互动的结果，创造了活泼、丰富的世界，动荡、富于生机的宁静，把人们带回到人和天地、自然万物共在、共属一体的关系中，让人们的心灵得以回归那个自己曾经待过或应该去的地方，并重新分有自然的伟大和尊严。

THE BRANCHES OF TIME

-Photography Solo Exhibition of Fu Bailin

“Time keeps branching into countless futures.”

- Jorge Luis Borges 

Heidegger used to say: “‘the life of man’ is a ‘dwelling for the poetic’”, “poetry first causes dwelling to be dwelling”, “But where is the space and time left for poetry in today’s dwelling?” The pursuit of fame, fortune, power, and influence fundamentally deviates from the nature of dwelling. From his perspective, what we called convenient and beautiful modern life is nothing but being alive; Sadly, we have no awareness of living in such poverty and darkness. Fortunately, we have artists. They are keenly aware of the poverty of the human spirit, the distance from the divinity, and the gloom of the world. Their creative work can bridge the rift between the poor era and the poetic dwelling.

The Existence of Authenticity 

The living condition of Fu Bailin is like the authentic existence that Heidegger admired:“Once we choose our career, our life will be both in the present and in the future, and connected with the past at the same time. Everything is the present, and our life will blossom in this career with the surging passion of being alive...” Bailin followed his heart and nature, gave up the convenience of digital technology, returned to film photography, and explored in depth the mystery and magnificence of nature. He always treats his life and photography creation with such authenticity, which is not only a transcendental and enthusiastic state, but also a reverse time-perception way of observing the past from the future. Therefore, he always has abundant energy to remove different obstacles in his soul journey.

The Branches of Time

His photographic creation folks the accelerated, bustling, noisy, and reinforced concrete city, bringing a moment of pure and undisturbed nature. The snow-white wild horses out of expectation, the turbulent currents with flying spray, the blue glacier standing in silence, the golden branches studded with sunlight, and the bright moonlight above the dark sea, are all shining the divine brilliance and vigorous vitality. The sky and the earth are the battlefields where modern people chasing for desires and powers. With purity, Bailin presents us the nature that is not an object being tamed and remolded. Just as Roland Barthes summed up the essence of the landscape: “Looking at these landscapes of predilection, it is as if I were certain of having been there of going there.”

The Two-sidedness of Timing

The timing of shooting is of decisive significance for photography. Bailin is not only good at grasping and creating opportunities, but also turning unfavorable situations into golden opportunities. For example, there was a storm breaking out and people hiding in the cabins, but Bailin insisted on working in the heavy rain in order to capture the unique and secret beauty that the sea presented to him while creating “Sea No. 20”. The raindrops fell to the gray-blue sea, intermittently forming the vague waterlines. The undulating waves had been abstracted by the gloomy sky as the water patterns in ancient Chinese paintings: the waves are hooked and then blended with some white spoondrift, then the ripples and colors gradually fade away to the distance, and eventually, the water and the sky merge in one color. There have both the recall of experience and the prediction of future trends as for the choice of timing. The ultimate result depends on the current execution. The successful capture of these precious images is precisely owed to Bailin’s consistent authenticity. Once a decision is made, persistence and devotion will make the time the golden opportunity. How a person acts and exists is what that person is. Bailin is a contemporary person that lives at the moment, exists in reality, listens to his inner voice, and is good at seizing the moment.

His photography creation is the result of quantum interaction between him and the subject, creating a lively and abundant world. The active and vivifying tranquility in his art brings not only people back to the relationship where human being, heaven and earth, nature and species are all being and belong together, but also their heart return to the original or destined place, re-sharing the greatness and dignity of nature.
