《传承与发展——中德摄影家的视觉思考》摄影展〔中·尔冬强/ 德塞风〕将于2004年5月30日～6月6日在尔冬强艺术中心（上海市泰康路210弄2号乙）举行。

　　于展的60余幅作品，系中国摄影家尔冬强所摄德国的柏林、法兰克福、墨尼黑、德累斯顿、莱茵河畔罗曼路、罗腾堡等城市风光；及德国摄影家塞风所拍的中国上海等大都会、中国北方包括西安、德州、贵州、平遥等地作品。双方针对两地的“传承与发展”的视觉思考毕现于各自的作品中。

　　塞风认为，诸如上海这样的现代化大都市，已不是真正意义上的中国。这里所体现的是世界文化的大同混血；而中国北方诸地尚存的小异，才是东方文化的灵魂所在。他试图用繁华与质朴两种强烈视觉反差的作品呼吁：本属于东方文明的光荣，不应该被尽快摆脱落后的盲从所践踏；中国文化的围墙不应该被早已司空见惯的西方现代文明的所推倒。而尔冬强的作品却恰恰相反，他镜头中的现代化德国城市，虽经历过战争和东西德离和，但呈现于画面的却是一脉相承的德意志文明态势。例如曾在二战中几乎夷为平地的德累斯顿，则以再现当年风貌为政府战后重建宗旨；而东西德合并后，政府最早恢复的市政工程，几乎全是承载德意志民族精神之所在，他的思考同样立足于传承与发展不应被对立上。

　　来自于两个不同国家、不同文化背景的艺术家，在视觉思考上却不期然达成了共识唯有坚持民族的才能拥有世界的。

　　该展览由复旦大学视觉文化研究中心与德国阿登纳基金会共同举办。

Globalization:

　　visible and invisible first Chinese international forum about communicating visual culture

　　The photograph exhibition, Inheriting and developing, visual thinking of Chinese and German photographer, will be held at Shanghai Deke Erh Art Center (2#, Lane 210, Tai Kang road) from May 30th to Jun 6th 2004. We warmly welcome everybody to enjoy!

　　The exhibition will display about 60 works of Chinese photographer Deke Erh and German photographer Jan Siefke. These exhibits include the landscape of German city, such as Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Dresden, taken by Deke Erh, and Chinese scenery photos of Siefke. The photos displayed on this exhibition express the opinion about inheriting and developing of two artists.

　　Jan Siefke thinks that Shanghai is a modern metropolis which reflects the identical elements of world culture and the blend of eastern and western culture, so it is not a purely China. However some Chinese northerly regions still retain unmixed Chinese feature, he thinks that it is the soul of oriental culture. Siefke tries to appeal: we couldn’t reform Chinese culture blindly by means of western modern civilization. On the contrary, modern German cities photo in Deke Erh’s works, although had experienced war and divide, take on an uninterrupted Germany civilization state. For instance, Dresden, almost destroyed in world war two, try to reappear style and feature of prewar Germany. So the thinking of Deke Erh also bases on inheriting and developing, just like Jan Siefke.

　　Two artists, although come from different country and have different culture background, happen to have the same view, if you want to everyone of the world to recognize you, you must persist in native feature.
