Arjan Spannenburg 的黑白概念藝術攝影作品《SANCTIONED》,描繪了一個處於保護姿態的家庭,而數隻手從畫面邊緣伸入,試圖將他們拉開,突顯韌性與社會壓力等主題。

"一道向彩虹家庭發出的、具挑釁意味的宣言,在這個日益兩極化的世界裏,挑戰觀者在保護與毀滅之間作出抉擇。"

The Narrative

破碎世界中,牢不可破的連結

在彩虹家庭的合法性備受全球審視之際,SANCTIONEDstands as a monumental act of resistance and devotion. Created as a visceral response to the shifting political climate in Italy, where the rights of LGBTQ+ parents were being systematically curtailed, the emotion it evokes is universal: the primal human instinct to shield one’s family from a judgmental world.

這件作品的力量在於其原始、高對比度的單色處理。剝離了色彩的干擾,觀者被迫直面鬥爭的本質:步步緊逼的手的質感,以及父親們毫不動搖的目光。構圖刻意營造出幽閉但堅韌的感覺;從周邊伸出的手象徵著立法和社會偏見這些外部壓力,試圖瓦解家庭單位。在中央,父親們和他們的孩子們在威脅的黑暗中,構成了一個不可 penetrable 的光之核心。

旁觀者:審判者與陪審團

During the 2023Paratissima展覽在杜林展出,這種象徵意義由視覺轉化為實體。印製於脆弱的織物上,而非置於玻璃後,SANCTIONED成為一場互動式的道德審判。參觀者面臨艱難的抉擇:反對 LGBTQ+ 權利的人士可獲邀用剪刀剪爛布料;支持者則可用膠帶加固。第三種選擇,沉默與被動,變得極具深意,因為旁觀者稍後會回來看見他們的不作為所造成的破壞。SANCTIONED是超過一張相片;它是一份時代精神的歷史文件,也是對不公義面前,中立亦是一種選擇的提醒。

Visual Analysis

一張高對比度的黑白概念攝影作品,以家庭為中心。兩位男性(父親)與兩名幼童緊緊相擁。他們的表情嚴肅而堅韌,直視鏡頭。多隻手從各個方向伸入畫面,有些抓握著拍攝對象,營造出緊張感和外部壓力。燈光戲劇化,突顯出臉部和肌膚的質感,背景為深黑色。整體美學具有電影感,並令人聯想到古典的明暗對照法。
