EN MASSE by Balázs Máté

從遠處觀察時,廣大的人群似乎成了一種圖樣,人們的移動就好像萬花筒般,在城市之中隨機地形成無法預料的物體或者障礙。本作品將一個個群體的組成從原來的環境中抽離,並藉由轉印技術重置在一張白紙上——隱隱象徵人群所處的城市空間;然而,當所有構成城市的印象全數消逝,人們的動作竟變得像是滑稽的模仿和毫無意義的流竄。與此同時,我們可以看到在人群中感到孤獨是多麼容易的一件事。

Balázs Máté,攝影師,生於1988年,現居布達佩斯。

When observed from a distance, the masses of people seem to become a pattern, randomly formed according to the incidental objects and obstacles of the urban environment. The arrangement of individuals divested from their original environment, and put on a blank paper with transfer technique, implies the supposition of their urban space; however, as the points of reference become invisible, their movements become parody-like, and their scurry, pointless. At the same time, one can see how easy it is to stay lonely in the crowd.
