A new comprehensive survey exhibition by the artist Hans-Peter Feldmann presents seminal works from throughout his career, from his influential early photographic series to new works displaying women’s handbags. Visitors will also be able to take away an ‘unlimited edition’ print of a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II as a young girl.
Amongst Feldmann’s earliest works are a series of booklets consisting of photographs of everyday subjects and situations from views of mountains to aircrafts in the sky to women’s knees. In his latest works the artist has taken collecting a step further by purchasing a number of women’s handbags along with their entire contents and displays them in traditional museum vitrines.
德國當代藝術家漢斯 · 彼得 · 費爾德曼（Hans-Peter Feldmann）的首個英國個人回顧展在倫敦蛇形畫廊（Serpentine Gallery）開幕，展覽展出了他整個藝術生涯中各個富有特色的開創性作品，包括其早期具有極大影響的攝影系列作品和最新的女士手包裝置作品。參觀展覽的觀眾可以獲得一份費爾德曼製作的“不限量”版英女皇伊麗莎白二世少女時代的肖像攝影作品。
費爾德曼的最早的作品是一本本的相冊，其中的照片都是關於日常生活的場景或者生活用品。他最近的作品更將他的“收藏”擴展到購買大量的女士手包，以及其中的物品，並將它們陳列在傳統博物館的櫥窗內。
The exhibition also includes examples of his portraiture, a theme that Feldmann has returned to throughout his career. Whether reproducing a series of amateur snapshots from a friend’s family album or meticulously documenting a woman applying her make-up in a series of photographs, Feldmann uses the genre of portraiture to explore the interior life of the individual as well as the material world that surrounds them.
展覽還包括了費爾德曼創作的肖像作品，不論是將朋友的隨手拍攝相冊進行重新加工，還是非常嚴肅地紀錄女士們的化妝過程，他都是運用肖像畫的表現手法來探討個體的精神生活與圍繞在其身邊的物質生活。
