佐藤時啟 Sato Tokihiro攝影展
光 - 呼吸 Photo-Respiration
佐藤時啟（Sato Tokihiro）是日本當代藝壇中一位知名的攝影藝術家，1957年出生於山形縣。1981年畢業於國立東京藝術大學雕塑學系並取得學士與碩士學位，目前為此大學-先端藝術表現學系准教授。佐藤最著名的創作方式是以獨特的光筆及光鏡，使光線在現實景物與空間中飛躍來闡述光與呼吸。佐藤原本有志於雕塑，但是最後他選擇了攝影為創作媒介，以展現他的創作形式與表現風格，他與光的互動關係是眾所皆知，佐藤使用8X10大型相機與長時間曝光（至少一至三小時），在空間裡來來回回活動利用光筆及光鏡反射照明創造了線光及點光。這樣的曝光方式在他的作品中呈現了獨特的風格。佐藤的作品深受二十幾個世界各國的博物館、美術館及學術企業機構的典藏，包括古根漢美術館、東京都寫真美術館、昆士蘭美術館（布里斯本）、原藝術博物館（東京）、上海美術館、哈佛大學和德意志銀行等典藏。[文/邱奕堅]
Sato Tokihiro （佐藤時啟 Sato Tokihiro） is a photographer, born in Sakata, Yamagata （Japan） in 1957. Sato is best known for his unique expressions of light and space and interpretations of performance and dance. Receiving his MFA and BFA in Music and Fine Arts from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music in 1981, Sato was originally a trained sculptor, but decided to go with photography to better communicate his ideas. Recognized for his playful interaction of light, Sato uses a large-format camera for exposures that last from one to three hours, while he moves through the space creating points of light or illuminated lines drawn with flashlights or flashes made by reflecting mirrors. The results are detailed photographs interrupted by patterns of light. And because of the long exposures, Sato’s movements across the scene remain undetectable by the camera; the photograph captures his presence but not his image. Sato’s photographs are held throughout the world in public and private museums including the Museum of Modern Art （Saitama, Japan）；Hara Museum of Art（Tokyo）；Queensland Art Gallery（Brisbane）；and Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. |
