Gianfranco Pezzot

1969
(ITALY) ITALIAN

Gianfranco Pezzot 是一位義大利概念攝影師，他關注歷史、經濟和本能等各種力量如何影響我們建構和利用環境的方式。他的抽象作品嘗試發明新的當代攝影語言。他居住並工作於義大利。

教育背景

Pezzot 畢業於義大利威尼斯戲劇學院。

技術

為了推動攝影作為藝術媒介的界限，Pezzot 採用類似拼貼的美學策略，將各種可能無關的視覺元素結合在一起，構建出新的影像。

他的抽象系列《人腦的二分法》正是這種方法的代表作。該系列通過結合花朵、海灘風景和皺摺紙張的照片碎片，然後以此拼貼作為基底，進行額外的藝術介入，如繪製線條和潦草文字。各種影像和媒介融合，創造出複雜且層次分明的圖像，最終以數位 C-印刷形式呈現。

靈感

Pezzot 的靈感來自大腦如何從不同影像中建構敘事。當這些影像被改變、重組或與其他影像結合時，敘事變得不那麼直接，解讀起來更有趣。他也受到攝影作為當代藝術媒介角色變化的影響。他思考拍攝直接且明確的照片與從更開放、調查性、實驗性及多學科角度接近攝影的價值差異。

藝術家聲明

關於他的系列《人腦的二分法》，Pezzot 說：

“[It] 關於人類生命各個時代中，人類學本能與語言欺騙之間的永恆鬥爭……細節和符號具有顯著的敘事意義，並對圖像的語義有所貢獻。這組作品是由數百張不同照片的碎片組合而成……它將當代攝影推向無界限、無約束的前沿。”

他的攝影作品被收錄於日本清里攝影藝術博物館的永久收藏中。

展覽

Pezzot 的作品曾在歐洲、亞洲及美洲展出，包括法國里爾國際攝影節及義大利佛羅倫斯當代藝術雙年展。
