Christopher Wool - East Broadway Breakdown - 2003

《East Broadway Breakdown》第一版，是美国艺术家克里斯托弗·沃尔的重要艺术家摄影集。\n\nBetween 1994 and 1995, Wool photographed the streets surrounding East Broadway on New York’s Lower East Side, where he lived and worked. Taken at night with a 35mm camera, the 160 black-and-white photographs depict deserted streets, deteriorating storefronts, staircases, fences and littered pavements.\n\n在1994年至1995年间，沃尔在纽约下东城的东百老汇周边街巷进行拍摄，他在那里居住并从事创作。夜间以35毫米相机拍摄，共160张黑白照片，展示空荡的街道、破败的门面、楼梯、栅栏以及被垃圾覆蓋的人行道。\n\nThe grainy images and extreme contrasts often make the subjects difficult to identify, allowing the photographs to shift between urban documentation and abstraction. This raw visual language closely relates to Wool’s celebrated paintings, in which existing images and marks are repeatedly obscured, fragmented and transformed.\n\n颗粒感强、对比度极高的影像常使主体难以辨认，使照片在城市记录与抽象之间转换。这种(raw)原始的视觉语言与沃尔广受赞誉的绘画作品密切相关，在这些作品中，既有的图像与痕迹被反复遮蔽、碎裂与改变。 (请注意：此处“raw”在中文语境中译为“原始”较为自然。)\n\nThe book was designed by Christopher Wool and Hans Werner Holzwarth and is now out of print. It is cited in Martin Parr and Gerry Badger’s The Photobook: A History, Volume III, p.167.\n\n本书由克里斯托弗·沃尔与汉斯·维尔纳·霍尔茨瓦尔特共同设计，如今已绝版。它在马丁·帕尔与盖瑞·巴德杰的《The Photobook: A History》（摄影图册：一部历史）第三卷第167页中被引用。\n\nCONDITION\nThere is slight rubbing to the bottom edge of the book.
