Ghosting Identity—細川俊太郎攝影展

Ghosting Identity｜細川俊太郎

來自日本的影像創作者細川俊太郎（Shuntaro H osokaw a）近年在英國的創作經驗，讓他對於日英文化差異有著很深的感受，進而開啟了探討「我是誰」這是一個關於身分與自我認同的議題。這問題連結了兩個核心主體：其一為自身的日本文化、社會和歷史的經驗累積，另一則是在英國當地所遇到非日本體系成規下的「他者」，而創作者嘗試將日本與西方文化加以碰撞，結合心理學、哲學和社會學，創造出以「臉」（face）為主軸的攝影系列作品。

在[／Slash]系列作品裡，一張張被攝者素顏、乾淨的肖像(Portrait)，自然的臉上沒有任何的情緒，之後被攝者帶來多個他們的理想型樣本，細川將兩者藉由影像後製，創造出相似卻又不盡相似的「我」。藝術家以此種方式持續拍攝，藉由不同的族群、國籍、膚色，試圖製作一本圖像書，揭示出各種類型之間的差異與關連。

「臉」是當人們想到身分認同時第一個想到的東西，人們不可能經過自己來看見自己，所以必須仰賴那些脆弱的自我圖像，包括那些片段的照片、偏見和鏡子裡殘存的影像，進一步的與自身親近；然而，這些片段時常理想化了「我該是怎樣的」的想像，因為那些臉只存在他們自己的心裡。對於理想樣貌的想像，通常是受演員、模特兒和身邊鄰居的影響。因此，我們可以說，造成真實與理想之間差距的原因，根植於我們的生活之中，強烈影響著人們的身分認同以及日常生活。

細川說：「在這個創作計畫之中，我嘗試藉由肖像去描繪這個差距，它可以從個人的層次，提升到社會和文化社群的層次，再現理想化身分認同和個人實際特質之間的衝突。」而在他的創作裡，再次突顯理想的自我身分認同和現實是如此不和諧，但個人特質對我們的生活、社交、和文化社群（culturalcom m unity）卻有著難以摧毀的影響力。
