当我们谈论爱情时,我们在谈论什么
受雷蒙德·卡佛的影响,美国女摄影师Jennifer McClure拍摄了下面这组记录陷入爱情纠葛中的场景图片,大卫·芬奇和王家卫在电影中使用过的结构化叙事的手法,也被借鉴过来,成为这辑作品的符号。
她将作品命名为:不曾到来的你。
You who never arrived
in my arms, Beloved, who were lost
from the start,
I don't even know what songs
would please you. I have given up trying
to recognize you in the surging wave of
the next moment. All the immense
images in me -- the far-off, deeply-felt landscape,
cities, towers, and bridges, and un-
suspected turns in the path,
and those powerful lands that were once
pulsing with the life of the gods--
all rise within me to mean
you, who forever elude me.
You, Beloved, who are all
the gardens I have ever gazed at,
longing. An open window
in a country house-- , and you almost
stepped out, pensive, to meet me. Streets that I chanced
upon,--
you had just walked down them and vanished.
And sometimes, in a shop, the mirrors
were still dizzy with your presence and, startled, gave back
my too-sudden image. Who knows? Perhaps the same
bird echoed through both of us
yesterday, separate, in the evening...
