“遮盖”背后的“新生”

Naomi+Vona　费婷

一切始于一年半前，当我在eBay上购买大量老照片和明信片时，因为我一直喜欢收集任何材料制作的旧物。当我拿着这些照片时，我只是在想：为什么不把我收集到的东西放在它们身上呢？于是我开始了这些拼贴创作。结果让我非常满意，我真的感觉很好并且一发不可收拾。

每件拼贴作品的构成都基于三个元素：我的生活背景，我的灵感以及我的潜意识。这三个元素相互紧扣在一起。

我试着“遮盖”这些照片（事实上是我的拼贴作品）上的主人公的脸，为了重新塑造他们在社会中的新“角色”以及/或他们的身份。当你无法辨别他们时，或者当你仅看到他们的脸的一小部分时，他们便可成为任何人。即使你可以看见他们的脸，我还是尝试去彻底改变原始照片的意义。我的拼贴计划是为了重新发现这些被遗忘的人的身份，并给予他们全新的生命。

Everything is started about one year and a half ago， when Ive bought some big lots of vintage photos and postcard from eBay because Ive always loved to collect things as found stuff of any kind of material. Once Ive had all these photos in my hands I just thought： why dont put my collected stuff on them？ So I started to do this collages. The result satisfied me so much， I felt really good and I didnt want to stop anymore. Every collage artwork is basically composed of three elements： my life background， my inspirations and subconscious， that is also the glue that puts all together.

In all these images （and in most of my collage artworks） I tried to “cover” the faces of the subjects to play and to reinvent their new “role” in the society， and/or with their identity. Once you cannot see them， or you just can see a little fragment of them， they can become everyone. Even when you can see their faces， I try to transform completely the meaning of the original shot. The purpose of my collage project is to recover the identities on these forgotten people and to give them a brand new life.
