Richard Mosse – The Enclave
理查德•莫斯 – 《孤域》

— 4th April-26th April The Vinyl Factory Space  理查德·莫斯近三年在刚果民主共和国的创作,最后集结成了去年威尼斯双年展代表爱尔兰国家馆参展的视频装置 –  《孤域》 The Enclave,艺术家被刚果东部连绵不断的战争状态所吸引,刚果酷而复杂的战争却又鲜为外人所知。艺术家想通过这部影片去探讨艺术和摄影这两个媒介,对于不可言喻的社会现实的传达能力。   莫斯前往刚果最深处,去拍摄一些不能被常人所记录到的生存状态。主题以平常的民族志式的角度,记录着生老病死和日常的生活与冲突。其中看似纪录片的风格,却不难看出镜头前已摆设好的物象和场景。电影本身拍摄于一挂在steadicam稳定器的16mm摄像机,片中诸多的推拉镜头,其稳定的移动提供给观者一个第一人称视角。 而这样的拍摄方式也使镜头本身成为了影片的中心,观者的视野随着镜头被带入装置和影像空间,我们正如同一个个不应在此出现的猎奇者。 而镜头另一端,被拍摄的刚果士兵,平民,孩童,也均以造型,跟随,凝视来回应镜头。   在Vinyl Factory Space的空间里,八块双面投影幕布多为对称分布。空间设计与影片剪辑往往相互作用,其化学效应也是多频装置表现力的关键。The Enclave在展映上,影像内容和节奏也似乎是呼应着屏幕的对称性。而取材于刚果基伍湖的音乐和音效,与电影本身共鸣相称,其11组音响的分布,似乎比八块屏幕本身更能调动观者的对空间的体验。。 视频的亮点,是贯穿全片的粉红色调。莫斯在片中使用的是原本军用的伪装探测红外线底片。在二战时期由美军支持研发,用于探测伪装成绿色外型的敌军。这一种胶片已于2009年停产,全球所剩无几。在莫斯的影片中,本应最为突出的来自于山脉,植被,迷彩服绿色,纷纷配底片反应成了粉红色。超现实的粉色将原本沉重的主题附上了一股奇异的色彩。而通常和绚丽挂钩的粉色,在电影里也变成了另外一层伪装。   艳丽的粉色是具有感染力的,它迫使观者去探询这颜色改变的原因,去追问除却颜色,电影中是否还有其他被改动的部分。莫斯清楚自己并非记者,而是艺术家的身份,于是传达这样一个题材,就不能用到传统的纪实摄影角度。而通过连接一个传统的创作媒介和一个当代的现实题材,The Enclave作为一组艺术影像,的确起到了迫使观者审视图像创作,传播,和被消费的一系列过程,去讨论影响本身的真实性和可信度。   作品的另一个逻辑,同样源自于红外线底片本身。探测伪装的底片,可以显露出原本隐藏的物象。但仅仅是用有显形功效的底片,来记录鲜为人知的战况,把这两者编织在一起,此间的联系似乎稍停于字面意义上,并没有真正挑战纪实摄影和视频艺术的传统。潜伏于刚果的‘真相’是什么?观者看到的是否比寻常的记录片有更多细节?若是没有了这一片粉色,更多的‘现实’是否就无法显露? Mosse的照片似乎更能说明这一点,除却令人惊叹的粉色,剩下的也不过是一个传统的题材和视角。此中牵涉到的又是莫斯不可回避的纪录片传统中,关于图像和伦理问题。当艺术家离开那片孤域,当观者离开展厅这片飞地,能询问什么,能改变什么,是双方都要思考的问题。
