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...
