School Selfie

February 29, 2016 2016年2月29日

Sun Kaiqiang (aka juicy_tour) is a senior at the China Academy of Art in Shanghai studying film and television. His photo project, School Selfie, is a meditative look at everyday life on the Zhangjiang campus of CAA.


孙凯强(又称juicy_tour是一名就读于中国美术学院上海分院影视专业即将毕业的学生。他近期的校园自拍摄影项目,展现出中国美院张江校区在其眼中平日里的幽静怡然模样。

Dappled light and geometric compositions form unexpected images of serenity and order. Sun’s ongoing project started in 2015, and is a record of the school, a “self portrait”. Rather than peace and tranquility, Sun says he wanted to convey the inner world of the things around him.


斑驳的光影和几何构图创造了意想不到且井然有序的画面。孙凯强正在进行的这个项目始于2015年,他把这个项目称之为对校园的一种自画像式的记录。相对于展现平和安宁的校园氛围,他更想通过自己的叙事手法,展示周遭事物的内心世界。

With only a few months left to graduate, Sun says his images illustrate the sense of anticipation of students around him, as well as their disappointment and sense of significance in the contemporary world.

“Although the style of the photos is cozy and ethereal, naturally it reveals a sense of emptiness and confusion about the future. On the surface, the school is the subject, but it also reflects our own inner world. It is a statement concerning our uncertainty about the future. It’s learning and coping with loneliness, as well as the feeling of being forgotten in this hectic world of ours.”


对于即将毕业的孙凯强来说,这些照片形象地表达了他和同学们对未知世界的期待感及对当今社会的失望感并存的矛盾心态。

这种摄影风格看上去给人一种安逸、空灵的感觉,其实自然间流露出内心世界的空虚和对未来的迷茫。与其说表面是拍的学校,不如说再拍自己内心世界、对未来的迷茫、学习情感上的孤独、繁华下落寞。”

Using a Canon DSLR and Lightroom, VSCO, and Photoshop, Sun continues to use his spare time between classes to shoot School Selfie. The project will be finished when he graduates, but afterwards, he plans to continue creating similar projects as experimental short films.


通过使用佳能数码单反相机和Lightroom, VSCOPhotoshop, 孙凯强将继续利用课余时间进行校园自拍的后续创作。该项目将于毕业前完成。毕业后,他还希望创作一个类似的项目,但区别于前者,到那时他想用实验短片的形式去呈现他的想法。
