本期展覽: 「一匙鹽與十一張照片 韓筠青鹽印法個展」
展覽簡介:1833年時,英國現代攝影之父:威廉塔伯特先生(William Henry Fox Talbot, 1800-1877),為迎接新生活而帶著新婚妻子去義大利湖畔度蜜月,而鹽印法的發明,就從這趟蜜月開始的。
鹽印法是十九世紀攝影發明後,第一個將銀鹽印製於紙張上的顯影方式。整個過程需要先在紙上塗一層鹽水,接著上一層硝酸銀,然後在太陽下曝光。鹽印法的成像細緻度與咖啡偏紅的色調讓每ㄧ張照片擁有各自獨立的情緒,它的低成功率也呼應這系列作品要表達的脆弱感。
韓筠青畢業於舊金山藝術大學攝影系,主修古典影像顯影,她的鹽印法技巧師承美國古典影像顯影翹楚 Dan Estabrook。
展覽日期:2014 年 12 月 1 日~2015 年 2 月 28 日

“A Teaspoon of Tablesalt”
Exibition of Salted Paper Processes by Yun-Ching Han
The salt print was the very first silver print process on paper when photography was invented in the 19th century; the paper was coated by a solution of salt, followed by a coating of silver nitrate, and then exposed to the sun. Like many other alternative processes, salt printing has a simplicity and directness of process that is more physical than digital printing.
This process gives the images a sense of quietness, fragility, and timeless that digital couldn't achieve. The delicate tonality and the reddish-brown hue of this process also enhance the antique and aged look of the prints.
