不同藝術間某種互相認同的關聯的質素,彷彿那一瞬間,一張畫、一件雕塑正欲發聲為話語。──美國詩人龐德(Ezra Pound, 1885-1972)
作為城市漫遊的攝影者,葉灼走訪各地,以其靈視的眼光,瞬間凝住喧鬧世界於一格,使生活中「既熟悉又陌生、既真實又奇幻的」影像�映象再現;而行遍天下,以比較文學理論馳名國際的葉維廉,生命中的觸動,總湧為詩文。父子二人雖異,卻又同——在尋索生命歸屬的過程中,在工業化絞動文化的陣痛中,雖熟識�陌生交錯,傳統�現代錯位——卻均「在緊張壓迫的變化中兀然獨立,在某種天平上游離其間」。而,這樣的游離,對讀者,並不陌生。
From 80+ evocative photographs, pregnant high visions, come poetic echoes of measured pulses and impulses. Two artists, father and son, engaging in a cross-cultural, multi-generational dialogue with rhythmic, vital energy, tracing for the reader an odyssey of cultural and living complexes, explore the push-and-pull interactions between poetrys linguistic signs (seething images in the heart/mind) and photographys visual signs. We experience in this gap what American poet Ezra Pound called the “inter-recognition” between arts, “where paintings or sculptures seem", as it were, “just coming over to speech.”
