摘要: 罗兰·巴特在《明室》中明确了戏剧与摄影之间的关系是“失去”与“死亡”的物恋关系。这使摄影的本质拓宽至流动与停滞的时间性创伤中,照片捕获时间中的静止,每一次拍摄都包含着双重的死亡。然而,摄影师身体的介入不仅使运动进入照片,而且使图像被“废墟”所烙印。作为终将死亡的生命,身体与空间的互文,投射了难以感知的、每一个场所在时间中缓慢毁坏的过程。这是后都市摄影所创造的新的空间思考维度。本文以金米茹的摄影为例,探索身体如何提喻了图像与死亡的关联,并且改写了20世纪以来城市摄影的空间法则,铭刻了城市的失落与废墟化的运动过程,迫使建筑挣脱时间的铰链质询于当下的空间生产。

Abstract:

Roland Barthes makes it clear in Camera Lucida that the relationship between theatre and photography is the fetish of “loss” and “death”. This extends the essence of photography to the temporal trauma of flow and stillness. As stillness in time is captured by the camera, every shot contains a double death. However, photographers’ bodily intervention not only brings movement in the photo, but also imprints “ruins” on it. As dying things, the intertextuality between the body and the ruins registers the imperceptible process of slow declination of every urban locale in time. Such is a new reflection on space in post-urban photography. Taking Miru Kim’s photography as an example, this article explores how the body becomes the synecdoche for the relationship between photography and death, and rewrites the spatial laws of urban photography since the 20th century; in other words, it has documented the process of loss and declination of the city, forcing buildings to break away from time to question the production of space.

Key words:
