Chen Wei for #GucciGram Tian
中国摄影师陈维旨在透过他的作品创造美感和唤起社会意识。他的作品主要是静物和风景，捕捉现代化背后的阴霾和愁绪，偶尔也会透出几分欢乐气息。过度生长的植物漫延至住宅之中，叶片布满整张床垫，而床垫上睡着一个头部有如一个的士高球的人。他所塑造的画面代表着我们在迈向未来的道路上无论走了多远，依然会渴望返璞归真，并承认自然的恒存。这个设计以完整的Tian图案作为画框，中间的照片所拍摄的画面是悬挂于房间天花上的动物标本，而焦点则落在灿白的手提电脑屏幕之上。Tian图案上的鸟儿和花蕾可解读为生命的象征，动物标本上暗哑的毛色代表步向死亡，空洞的屏幕比喻我们虽不完全相信虚无，却又无法将目光抽离。— Alana Massey
Chinese photographer Chen Wei’s work is as much about creating beauty as elevating social consciousness as he stages still lifes and scenes that capture the doldrums and despair, but also occasional joys, of modernity. His images of overgrown plants creeping into homes and leaves sprinkled over a mattress where a disco-ball headed figure lays asleep indicate both a desire to recall nature and an acknowledgment of its eternal presence, no matter how far into the future we believe we have come. In this image, the Tian print itself remains intact as a large frame around a central photo of taxidermy animals hanging from a ceiling in a room where the central focus is on a blindingly white laptop screen. The Tian’s palette of birds and buds can be read as indicators for life, the muted fur tones of the taxidermy as the descent closer to death, and the hollow screen as the ultimate manifestation of a nothingness we do not entirely trust yet cannot draw our eyes away from. — Alana Massey
