homogenics (Workbook)

A book by udderhatt Edited by N.E.O.

utter haikom

standing at the edge of the grid, where did our hoola hoops go? beyond the fence line and into the crops, large talismanic symbols, an introspective belief in a higher power, soul centering mysteries and the uprising of sentient hat wearers who will return the lands to the rightful hooves

mouth hole (Workbook)

变化性维度 dimensions variable

A book by 北村 千誉則  Chiyonori Kitamura Edited by 张荻儿 Dier Zhang

“To me, the robotic movements involved in the act of eating always seemed to be a mixture of misery and eroticism in the vulnerable appearance of a mouth half-open. By opening and closing mouths, people pretend to be normal, act bitterly defeated, and create strong senses of urgency.”

“人们在使用嘴的时候机械地一张一合。对我来说，半开着地嘴总看起来脆弱、易受伤，混合着一些痛苦和情色的部分。 在嘴巴张合的过程中，人们装腔作势，表达痛苦，有时给你一种急促紧张的感觉.”

人们常说从眼睛里可以看到灵魂，然而嘴角才会透露我们的真实感情。有些人把嘴遮住来隐藏情感，你却捕捉嘴巴的所有细小瞬间。在做这本书的过程中你从你的拍摄对象那学到了些什么吗？

为了看见事物和发出信息，人们地眼珠会有意识地、有规律地转动。

在某种程度上来说，嘴巴的运动是无意识的。不管是否带有装饰，没有人在一天中会有意识地想他们地嘴如何动。再来说，嘴是暴露在外的，像一个手术伤疤一样，一部分口腔可以被看见，另一些部分不能被看见——一个人类身体的神秘而独立的器官。

人们吃东西的时候会暂时忘记嘴巴的样子。嘴巴一张一合，食物被塞进，半开半合的状态显得毫无防备，甚至有一些脆弱。人们的嘴巴不再愤怒渴望，而是用食物满足自己本身。

为了阐释这一整个系列的动作，紧闭的嘴和一动不动的脸颊代表绝对冷酷；相反，夸张地张开和撅起的嘴唇传达一种主动的、使击败的错觉。相比 “buh_bye” 而言，“mouth_hole”中有更多特写镜头，并且带有虚构色彩。

你是怎样捕捉这些移动的拍摄对象的？

为了保护自己我会在一定距离之外拍摄。我所做的只是按下“录影”按钮。我用一个小型数码相机拍摄录像，之后把这些影像传输到我的iphone里并把图切成适合Instagram的正方形。通常来说我和拍摄对象隔着大约10米距离。我最常使用的是一个600mm – 12mm的变焦镜头。

“mouth hole” 是你在“buh___bye”之后通过手机摄影渠道发布的第二个摄影书项目。社交网站平台和手机相机是如何帮助你的？

人们常常希望寻找或是试图创造最理想或最完美的照片。Instagram平台最棒的地方就是你无法准确定义所谓的正常与不正常。更进一步说，网络平台上的所有东西都可以被存档，所有人都可以轻易获取, 摄影艺术可以被传输到各式各样的人群，不管他们对摄影是否真的有兴趣。当作品概念已经不是最重要的时候，这些图像只是简单地向人们展示说“他们就在这儿。这就是我的照片们”，摄影的目的由此被诠释。就像小孩子一边在墙上用彩色铅笔乱画一边喊着“bah bah”。

buh__bye (Workbook)

A book by 北村 千誉則  Chiyonori Kitamura Edited by 张荻儿 Dier Zhang

All you do is close your eyes and pucker up

the cartoon strip is three squares of buildup before the fourth finishes it off with a pun. buh___bye is a project without a conclusion; a joke without a punchline; three squares that disappear into themselves through senseless repetition, just like words and actions lose their meaning as children repeat them once and again. All you do is close your eyes and pucker up.

四格卡通图格是由前三格的剧情发展和最后一格的定论组成的。buh___bye是一个没有结论的作品；一个没有笑点的笑话;是消失在自身重复的三格图像；就好像小孩子无意义的重复言语和动作。你需要做的就是闭上眼睛和蜷缩你的身体。

Now Serving: MODES VU Photobooks

Modes Vu is a publishing network with collaborators in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

With a focus on digital, distributed ways of working, Modes Vu publishes print photobooks in a time when the photographic image is under way of being fundamentally transformed. By exploring the use of digital images as a means of communication on social networks, the publisher aims to find a new visual language – a 21st century sentiment of photography.

To do this, Modes Vu is pioneering an iterative process of publishing where books are released in a first, second, and eventually third, edition to fully explore the possibilities of each title. First appearing as a Workbook, then as a Green, and eventually a third and final, as of yet unnamed edition, each work goes through three transformational edits and re-designs. It is this process of deliberate experimentation that allows for creative freedom to explore new modes of image-making.
