DIMPY BHALOTIA
Poche, pochissime erano le foto in casa di Henri Cartier-Bresson; una, forse due. Una, per cui il grande fotografo aveva una vera e propria ammirazione, era “Three Boys at Lake Tanganika” di Martin Munkácsi. Tre ragazzini immortalati di spalle che sprigionano un’incontenibile vitalità mentre corrono verso le acque del lago. Perché Cartier-Bresson amava quella fotografia? Perché, come ha detto lui stesso: “Ho capito improvvisamente che la fotografia può fissare l’eternità in un momento”. Osservando la fotografia “Flying Boys” di Dimpy Bhalotia, e con la quale si è aggiudicato il Female in Focus Award 2020 del British Journal of Photography, sembra che i tre ragazzini di Munkácsi siano tornati dopo un viaggio lungo novant’anni. Di più, pare che siano tornati per spiccare il volo e catturati nel preciso momento in cui occhio, cuore e mente del fotografo sono perfettamente allineati come una costellazione lontana. C’è, nelle fotografie della giovane indiana di Londra, qualcosa che arriva da una precisa tradizione fotografica e che àncora saldamente la composizione a quelle tre fondamentali componenti cui si faceva cenno, orientandola verso la ricerca del momento in cui un episodio umano – e non solo – ha la capacità di espletare il suo senso. Irripetibilmente. I riferimenti non mancano, e sono segno di una solida cultura visiva. Quanto guardiamo nelle fotografie di Dimpy Bhalotia sembra fuoriuscire da un racconto riscritto con nuove parole, nuovi cenni ma fermamente determinato a essere interpretato attraverso un lessico che costringe a sostare nello spazio citazionista giusto il tempo che occorre prima di assumere una vita propria. E questa sottile e aggraziata visione delle cose che plana sugli avvenimenti, ha quel respiro che sta dentro in una visione poetica della vita, perché per scattare fotografie che sappiano restituire la bellezza d’un gesto occorre amare la vita e i suoi interpreti. Ecco che uomini e animali, colti singolarmente o al crocevia della reciproca interazione, ci appaiono come soggetti appena involontariamente dialoganti ma che, a ben guardare, sono catturati nell’esatto momento di un dialogo segreto. La forza delle fotografie di Dimpy Bhalotia viene da lontano e dunque è ben strutturata. E si vede soprattutto nell’azzardo di forme, nella scommessa formale giocata sul corpo dei soggetti animali, da cui, in altre circostanze, cogliamo una felice traccia surrealista, un terreno ideale nel quale risolvere talune spericolatezze compositive. Il lavoro di Dimpy Bhalotia sosta alla confluenza di due differenti correnti fotografiche: l’umanesimo e il surrealismo (lo stesso Cartier-Bresson sperimentò un delicatissimo surrealismo prima di fondare la Magnum), maneggiati entrambi con disinvoltura e sicurezza. La sua è una voce limpidissima, minimale. Le composizioni obbediscono al comandamento d’essere rigidamente impostate su un registro essenziale, al limite del calligrafico, ma la sobrietà ci convince del risultato. Il solco della tradizione è tracciato, ma seguirne il percorso senza aggiungere le proprie impronte è come non averci camminato. La fotografia è un libro che non finisce mai di essere scritto, a patto d’avere qualcosa da dire. Come in questo caso.

DIMPY BHALOTIA
Few, very few were the photos in Henri Cartier-Bresson's house; one, maybe two. One, for which the great photographer had a real admiration, was Martin Munkácsi's “Three Boys at Lake Tanganika”. Three kids immortalized from behind who release an irrepressible vitality as they run towards the waters of the lake. Why did Cartier-Bresson love that photograph? Because, as he himself said: "I suddenly understood that photography can fix eternity in a moment". Looking at Dimpy Bhalotia's “Flying Boys” photograph, and with which she won the British Journal of Photography's Female in Focus Award 2020, it seems that the three kids from Munkácsi are back after a 90-year journey. What's more, they seem to have returned to take flight and captured at the precise moment when the photographer's eye, heart and mind are perfectly aligned like a distant constellation. There is, in the photographs of the young Indian woman based in London, something that comes from a precise photographic tradition and that firmly anchors the composition to those three fundamental components mentioned, orienting it towards the search for the moment in which a human episode - and not alone - has the ability to carry out its meaning. Unrepeatable. There’s no shortage of references, and they are a sign of a solid visual culture. What we look at in Dimpy Bhalotia's photographs seems to come out of a story rewritten with new words, new hints but firmly determined to be interpreted through a lexicon that forces us to pause in the quotationist space just the time it takes before taking on a life of its own. And this subtle and graceful vision of things that hovers over events, has that breath that lies within a poetic vision of life, because to take photographs that are able to restore the beauty of a gesture, you need to love life and its interpreters. Here men and animals, caught individually or at the crossroads of mutual interaction, appear to us as subjects that are barely involuntary in dialogue but who, on closer inspection, are captured in the exact moment of a secret dialogue. The strength of Dimpy Bhalotia's photographs comes from afar and therefore is well structured. And it is seen above all in the balancing of forms, in the formal bet played on the body of animal subjects, from which, in other circumstances, we grasp a happy surrealist trace, an ideal terrain in which to resolve certain compositional recklessness. Dimpy Bhalotia's work stops at the confluence of two different photographic currents: humanism and surrealism (Cartier-Bresson himself experienced a very delicate surrealism before founding Magnum), both handled with ease and confidence. Her is a very clear, minimal voice. The compositions obey the commandment to be rigidly set on an essential register, bordering on calligraphic, but the sobriety convinces us of the result. The groove of tradition is traced, but following its path without adding one's footprints is like not having walked through it. Photography is a book that never stops being written, as long as you have something to say. As in this case.

【一起來寫】#崛起的迷因美學:「蒸氣波文化」與藝術崇古心理(下)// 鄭雋立
.
德國哲學家包姆嘉通(Alexander Baumgarten)曾指出「美學的對象就是對 #感性認知的完善,這就是美;感性認知的不完善,就是醜」(楊辛、甘霖,2001),如同蒸氣波創作者經常喜好用全形文字或疑似亂碼的多國語言混用、拼出aesthetics(#美學)或相關詞彙,他們確實正在重複古典美學家詮釋的審美活動,逐次在視/聽覺建構當代 #網路次文化的美學,並且不斷完善這種感性認知。
.
■ #蒸氣波的靈感源頭:#超現實主義繪畫
.
上集筆者提到蒸氣波視覺隱約可見超現實主義繪畫的影子,雖無確切證據顯示蒸氣波創作有意致敬或造成戲仿(Parody)效果,但若回顧超現實繪畫的思維與脈絡,會發現許多不謀而合的旨趣。
.
◆見圖一:音樂家「猫シCorp.」在Bandcamp網站的大頭照,網址:https://catsystemcorp.bandcamp.com。
.
■ #超現實繪畫的前身:#義大利畫家基里訶
.
談到超現實主義,就不得不提討論義大利畫家基里訶(Giorgio De Chirico),他被認為是超現實繪畫的重要啟蒙者,作品畫面充斥 #希臘羅馬雕像與石柱、謎樣的剪影及斷裂的肢體,詭譎而神秘的氣氛,融合了古典美學的既成物、日常事物及 #幻覺。基里訶少年時代起便嫻熟哲學理論、崇尚希臘羅馬遺跡與雕像,透過大量臨摹石膏像奠基繪畫技巧,專事創作後便以這些素材畫出自己的幻覺體驗,他在文稿〈一個秋日午後的謎〉寫道:「我確信在肉眼可見的平凡事物背後,存在著深遠而神祕的現實。」(胡永芬,2001),基里訶的作品當時被稱為『#形而上繪畫』(metaphysical painting),受到超現實主義領導者布列東(André Breton)大力推崇,影響達利、馬格利特等人,並被後世認定為達達主義等20世紀藝術的先驅(許麗雯,1994)。
.
◆見圖二:基里訶畫冊《Giorgio De Chirico: The Changing Face of Metaphysical Art》封面與神似蒸氣波的畫作。
.
■ #呼應藝術崇古心理
.
上集提到了書畫家盧福壽教授提出的『#藝術崇古心理』,現今蒸氣波文化描繪幻覺體驗、大量採用的希臘羅馬3D模組與其他設計素材的大膽拼貼、套上迷離如嗑藥幻覺般的霓虹光…這些都是1980年代個人電腦興起時大眾文化與設計常用的手法,對照基里訶的畫面呈現,可說是同樣生於藝術崇古心理,又殊途同歸、走向幻覺與潛意識的世界(超現實=夢與潛意識、古希臘VS.蒸氣波=嗑藥或其他次文化、對1980年代的眷戀)。
.
◆ 見圖三:日本數位設計公司「株式会社フォーラムエイト (FORUM 8 Co., Ltd)」開發的素材庫『hade 実用3Dデータ集 森シリーズ 神話の森』,這類3D模組在1980年代曾隨著NEC PC-98、麥金塔等個人電腦的普及而大受歡迎,也是蒸氣波創作最愛的素材。與超現實繪畫不同的是,這些雕像總是跟現代數位科技、商場消費文化甚至動漫畫之類的素材並置,並染上醉人的霓虹色調。
.
■ #描繪幻覺與崇古的目的
.
研究原型與集體潛意識的心理學家榮格(Carl Jung)認為:在現象與本體、經驗與超驗、意識與無意識間,並沒有可通過科學方法架設起來的橋樑。這種瞬間的溝通只有藉助於幻覺、直覺,科學越發達,精神就越空虛;人們也就越需要幻想、嚮往科學解釋不了的神話(馮川,2014)。
.
■ #回不去的美好年代
.
美國在二戰後成為世界強國,但也因為移民血緣等因素眷戀歐陸的古典文化,加上藝術圈的崇古心態作為動力,間接導致1980年代的 #消費文化,如百貨商場、唱片等,使用崇古元素搭上幾何、殘影等 #早期數位設計 混搭包裝的原因(早期視覺設計儀器介紹詳見上集),既先進又崇高。隨後日本也因為戰後高速崛起、動漫畫與流行音樂等大眾文化興盛而成為1980年代的文化輸出大國,影響了CyberPunk的科幻創作風潮(如《銀翼殺手》裡出現的漢字等東方元素),因此 #動漫畫 的挪用也成為後來蒸氣波的其中一種文化符號。
.
新自由主義與消費文化曾對全球帶來樂觀積極的氣氛,但到了2010年世界沒有變得更好。在蒸氣波藝術家眼裡,遠去的1980年代已經是一種「#鄉愁」(Nostalgia)、思鄉之痛、對舊日情懷的嚮往以及隱含的矛盾情緒(Constantine Sedikides, Tim Wildschut, 2018),也因此蒸氣波創作通常都離不開 #感傷或自嘲的情緒。引榮格語,潛意識裡的原型導致人不斷藉由重複特定行為,消融原型以達到心理平衡與 #補償作用(馮川,2014),而蒸氣波無疑是當代精神處境的體現。

Technically, it’s not difficult but make sure to follow each other’s musical groove, and “beat the beats” as the meaning of its own title!
Do not afraid of rhythm, enjoy the groove which I created by the different accents, liaisons and flutter tonguing, and play it with more airy sound, the airy sound will give the music such powerful energy, that will make people shine by your performance!

Well, enjoy the music! And if you like it, please share it and discuss it with the world!
May the healthy and peaceful FORCE be with the world.
