Sunkyung Kim and Wonjun Jeong are the creative duos behind the South Korea-based art collective Sailors Studio. Their newest photography series, Conversation, features delicately distorted portraits that are projected across a fleeting cloth, tossed into twilight landscapes. The duo began experimenting with this fluid portrayal of the human face in their earlier photo series, Floating Life, where the cloth acted as “a screen to absorb a variety of images which tell the story of life and death”.
Sunkyung Kim和 Wonjun Jeong 是韩国艺术工作室Sailors Studio的两名艺术家。他们的最新摄影系列《对话》(Conversation)，将精美的人像投射于飘逸的布料上，映衬暮色的风景背景。在早期的摄影系列《浮动生活》（Floating Life）中，他们第一次尝试创作这种充满液态动感的人像作品，用布料“作为屏幕，展现一系列影像，讲述有关生命和死亡的故事”。
Whilst their previous photo series explored the themes of life and death, Conversation focuses solely on the former and delves into the topic of self-discovery. The work was originally inspired by French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas’ conception of responsibility, which states that being human meant that one is responsible for someone other than oneself, known as “the Other.” The cloth that is tossed into the air depicts one’s relationship with the Other, with each moment captured symbolizing a conversation. Through these portraits, “one finds one’s essence through the Other.” See the complete series below.
尽管他们以前的摄影作品探讨了生与死的主题，而这一次在《对话》中，他们只关注前者，深入探讨自我发现的主题。深受法国哲学家伊曼纽尔·莱维纳斯（Emmanuel Levinas）的责任观的启发，其中指出，作为人类，对他人的责任是与对自己的责任所不同的，这一点可以被称为“对方”。通过捕捉交谈中的每一个瞬间的特征，所完成的肖像告诉我们，“我们可以通过对方发现自我的本质”。下面一起来欣赏一下这一系列的作品吧。
