攝影中的雕塑手法、形式與內容

Sculptural Techniques, Forms, and Content in Photography

本文主要闡述攝影師使用另類手法的攝影形式進行創作，探討攝影與雕塑之間互為表裡的關係，創作者思考預設視／觸覺效果的雕塑，並列舉國內、外攝影圈中具有雕刻與塑造手法與形式的代表作品進行內容分析，包括以科學精神追求客觀的攝影類型學；揉合現成物與影像意涵的攝影裝置；運用電腦軟體後製超越真實的合成影像等。這些經受矯飾的攝影作品，透過或加或減的排列、組合、拼貼等塑造過程，呈現的影像形象看似客觀寫實卻隱含著它義，陳設安置立體化的樣態衍生出多重意義，而數位合成的擬像捏造難以分辨真假的現實。總而言之，攝影藝術家採用各式各樣的雕塑手法，融合觸覺與視覺，呈現非以記錄現實為目的圖像、意象或影像等，形塑大千世界的萬象。

This study explores photographers’engagement with alternative method of photography as a creative form, examining the intimate relationship between photography and sculpture. It addresses how artists premeditate sculptural outcomes to impact the visual and tactile senses. It features an analysis of seminal works in both domestic and international photography scenes that embody sculptural shaping techniques and forms. These encompass various methodologies, such as photographic typologies that aspire to objective documentation through scientific rigor, the incorporation of found objects with image meanings in installation photography, and the manipulation of reality with digital composites in post-production processes. These manipulated photography works have gone through adding, subtracting, arranging, combining, or collaging, showcasing images that, despite their seemingly objective realism, hold underlying interpretations. Their three-dimensional display unfolds multiple layers of significance, while digital constructs simulation blur the lines between reality and fabrication. Overall, photographic artists utilize an array of sculptural practices to synthesize the tactile with the visual, crafting depictions not merely for documenting reality but to shape the variegated tapestry of existence.
