“遮蓋”背后的“新生”

Naomi+Vona　費婷

一切始于一年半前，當我在eBay上購買大量老照片和明信片時，因為我一直喜歡收集任何材料制作的舊物。當我拿著這些照片時，我只是在想：為什么不把我收集到的東西放在它們身上呢？于是我開始了這些拼貼創作。結果讓我非常滿意，我真的感覺很好并且一發不可收拾。

每件拼貼作品的構成都基于三個元素：我的生活背景，我的靈感以及我的潛意識。這三個元素相互緊扣在一起。

我試著“遮蓋”這些照片（事實上是我的拼貼作品）上的主人公的臉，為了重新塑造他們在社會中的新“角色”以及/或他們的身份。當你無法辨別他們時，或者當你僅看到他們的臉的一小部分時，他們便可成為任何人。即使你可以看見他們的臉，我還是嘗試去徹底改變原始照片的意義。我的拼貼計劃是為了重新發現這些被遺忘的人的身份，并給予他們全新的生命。

Everything is started about one year and a half ago， when Ive bought some big lots of vintage photos and postcard from eBay because Ive always loved to collect things as found stuff of any kind of material. Once Ive had all these photos in my hands I just thought： why dont put my collected stuff on them？ So I started to do this collages. The result satisfied me so much， I felt really good and I didnt want to stop anymore. Every collage artwork is basically composed of three elements： my life background， my inspirations and subconscious， that is also the glue that puts all together.

In all these images （and in most of my collage artworks） I tried to “cover” the faces of the subjects to play and to reinvent their new “role” in the society， and/or with their identity. Once you cannot see them， or you just can see a little fragment of them， they can become everyone. Even when you can see their faces， I try to transform completely the meaning of the original shot. The purpose of my collage project is to recover the identities on these forgotten people and to give them a brand new life.
