内容提要：

本书中的图片与文字是“繁花”项目的组成部分，该项目由艺术家托马斯·迪曼德与作家本·勒纳合作完成。书中摄影的灵感源自于2013年5月4日刊登于《纽约时报》的一张照片中的细节，照片捕捉到塔梅尔兰·察尔纳耶夫*的遗孀凯瑟琳·罗素离开其位于波士顿寓所的画面，她的身后是一片盛开的繁花。

托马斯·迪曼德的摄影作品引诱观者进入他构建的“现实”当中，而它的真实面貌并非表面所呈现的那样。《繁花》中的这些花朵由纸制作而成，这一虚构的世界被人为地塑造、拍摄，而后被销毁。事件中的主人公被从画面中移除，而痕迹却仍然存在，场景显得既熟悉又遥不可及。

The texts and images presented here are part of Blossom, a collaboration between the artist Thomas Demand and writer Ben Lerner. The images relate to a detail from a photograph of Katherine Russell, widow of Tamerlan Anzorovich Tsarnaev leaving her home in Boston, that first appeared in the New York Times on 4 May 2013.

Thomas Demand’s work lures the viewer into a reality that is not what it appears to be. Carefully contrived from paper, these imaginary worlds are sculpted, photographed and destroyed. The traces which remain are events in which the protagonist is removed, scenes that are both familiar and out of reach. Demand’s work has been shown extensively across the world and is included in most of the significant private and institutional collections. Recent books include The Dallies (MACK, 2012) and Model Studies (Ivory Press, 2011).

Ben Lerner is the author of three books of poetry: The Lichtenberg Figures, Angle of Yaw and Mean Free Path, all published by Copper Canyon Press. He is the author of two novels, Leaving the Atocha Station, published by Coffee House Press, and 10:04, out this year from Faber / FSG. His recent writing on art and literature can be found in Art in America, Frieze, Harper’s, and The London Review of Books. He has been a finalist for the National Book Award and has received Fulbright, Howard, and Guggenheim Fellowships, among other honors.
