PBS高端访谈:获奖摄影家的愿景

JUDY WOODRUFF: Tonight's Brief But Spectacular features artist Uldus Bakhtiozina. The award-winning photographer explains her vision of documenting dreams. It's part of our ongoing¹ Canvas series.

ULDUS BAKHTIOZINA, Photographer: I'm not a documentary photographer in the common sense, but I am a documentary photographer in a different sense. I document dreams. My photography is widely exposing theme of escapism. All of us struggle sometimes to escape in order to analyze² our reality. I love complicated personalities³. And, actually, real life inspires me to create my images. I choose to work with people who are survivors⁴, who are fighting everyday routines that are not always full of color. What I really find exciting is the ability to make people's dreams of being someone else a reality. Sometimes, it take months to actually prepare everything for the shoot. This process, like, of getting ready is 95 percent of the time. And 5 percent is actual just the shooting. Real life inspires our escape. And, sometimes, that escape is very needed. Irony⁵ is still the key in what I'm doing, because I believe that, in our life, it's a lot of sadness.

We need a little bit of irony to art as well. Digitally manipulated photograph is not really true for me. It doesn't capture anything real. That's like, instead of going traveling, you just look at someone else travel photographs. I work with analogue⁶. In spite of the fact that, nowadays, digitally you can create pretty much everything, I don't like this path. I see the beauty in authenticity⁷ of making. And that's impossible without flaws. I see the future of photography 95 percent is digital, and I'm very happy about that, because that makes me special. My name is Uldus Bakhtiozina. This is my Brief But Spectacular take on documenting dreams.

朱迪·伍德拉夫：今晚《简短而精彩》的主人公是艺术家尤德思·巴克提兹娜。这位获奖摄影师分享了她对于记录梦想的愿景。本期节目是帆布系列节目的内容。

尤德思·巴克提兹娜，摄影师：我不是常规意义上的记录摄影师，我是另一种意义上的记录摄影师。我记录的是梦想。我的摄影作品大部分都揭露的是逃避主义的主题。我们所有人有时候都挣扎着想要逃离，这样一来，就不用分析现实了。我喜欢复杂的个性。实际上，现实生活给了我创作很多图片的灵感。我选择跟幸存下来的人一起共事，他们的日常是跟一些困难做斗争，这些困难通常很让人难受。我感觉特别激动的是能帮助别人实现成为某种人的梦想。有时候，为一件事做准备需要数月的时间。做准备的这个过程就占了95%的时间。去做那件事可能只占用了5%的是啊金。现实生活总是让我们想逃离。而且，有时候，这种逃离是我们非常需要的。讽刺依然是我所做的事情的关键。因为我觉得，在我们的生活中有很多的悲伤。

我们也需要艺术中有一些讽刺的元素。受数字控制的照片对我来说不一定具有真实性。因为这样的图片并不能捕捉真实的东西。就像是没有自己去旅行，而是通过看别人旅行的照片来体验旅行的感觉。我的工作中有很多类似的情况。虽然在当今社会，通过数字方式能实现很多创作内容，但我并不喜欢这种方式。我看到了创作真实性中的美感。这种美感要有缺陷才能实现。我知道未来社会有95%的照片都是通过数码方式拍摄的，我对这一点感到很高兴，因为这让我变得很特别。我是尤德思·巴克提兹娜，这是我本期带来的与记录梦想有关的《简短而精彩》。
