‘NUDE STUDIES 裸體研究’ explores the age-old fixation by artists to represent the human body specifically through the lens of three current photographers. All practice within the analog domain and yet their work manifests in unique forms. From the Grand Master of the minimal black & white aesthetic, Michael Kenna breaks new ground by photographing the human figure for the first time but not without his signature style. For colour and the vital female gaze we turn to Au Tze Long whose intimate and deeply personal works move between stories, dreams, ritual and reality, whispering of life’s inherent messiness and pain. Ben Felten’s project on photosynthesis marriages content and technique as his double exposures of plants on nudes come to life through cyanotype printing which are developed in sunlight.
《裸體研究》探索三位當代攝影師鏡頭下的人體面貌，三者的作品均用菲林拍攝，但各自散發著其獨特的風格韻味。黑白攝影大師 Michael Kenna 突破往常的題材首次拍攝人體，其標誌性格調卻依舊表露無遺；著重色調及其女性審美觀的的區子朗，則透過極為私密和個人的作品帶領觀眾遊走於故事、睡夢、儀式和現實間，以作品耳語出人生的紛亂與疾苦；Ben Felten 透過雙重曝光和藍晒技法，將植物和裸照融為一體，讓意象與技術完美結合。
