母親河 王巖2015中國巡展重慶啟動

5月15日，英籍華裔藝術家王巖將她在英國普利茅斯大學開展的藝術攝影項目——“母親河”帶到長江流域重要節(jié)點城市重慶。

據(jù)悉，此次展覽耗時5年，圍繞長江沿岸的景觀、神話和價值觀，成就了一段橫跨中國大地6211公里史詩般的旅程。

王巖表示，從一個長期的藝術及調(diào)研項目，到一個成熟的攝影展，“母親河”不僅揭開了亞洲最長河流的神秘面紗，更給觀眾帶來視覺、認知和情感上的新體驗。她稱，“母親河”這一概念起始于她到英國約克郡居住后對故鄉(xiāng)中國的思念。從其他關于長江的拍攝影像中，她梳理出一種不參雜多余情感，直接源自視覺的獨特方式，來表達自己對故鄉(xiāng)的思念。

從2010年到2014年，王巖使用一臺大畫幅相機，用Google地圖將長江等分成63個點，每兩點間確切相距100公里，作品連續(xù)且有時間順序地排列，根據(jù)江水的流向而定?？缭降膹V闊距離、宏大規(guī)模、以及長江的艱險條件都在王巖的作品中得到呈現(xiàn)。

該展于5月16日——6月5日在重慶中國三峽博物館首展，之后將同期登陸長江黃金系列郵輪，以《流動的母親河》作為平行展覽的主題，沿江而下，于7月登陸武漢美術館，并在9月的上海藝術影像展期間登陸上海斯沃琪和平飯店藝術中心。
