简介

《A Reprise》是大卫·阿莱克修吉（David Alekhuogie）的首部专著，以富有创造性的方式重新演绎了沃克·埃文斯（Walker Evans）拍摄的非洲艺术摄影作品，对西方呈现非洲艺术背后的叙事与作者身份提出了质疑。

1935年，沃克·埃文斯受纽约现代艺术博物馆委托，为展览“African Negro Art”拍摄了数百件非洲雕塑。近九十年后，阿莱克修吉开始研究埃文斯的影像，将它们重新组合成充满活力、层次丰富的摄影拼贴。他将埃文斯原作的复制品转印到自制的纸板或纸质结构上，再在东非和西非纺织品等醒目的背景前重新拍摄这些“图像雕塑”，从而创造了多层次的观看维度。

阿莱克修吉的作品借鉴了音乐中“reprise”（重奏）的概念——一种重复的演绎，通过质疑我们与“复制品或原作”、“艺术或档案”的关系，对黑人古代文化提出了重要的、修复性的见解。该书由纽约布鲁克林的设计工作室Other Means设计，收录了Wills Glasspiegel和Wendy A. Grossman撰写的文章，以及Zo? Hopkins对艺术家的采访。

David Alekhuogie: A Reprise is the first monograph by the acclaimed Los Angeles-based artist, presenting a inventive remix of Walker Evans's photographs of African art that provokes timely questions about authorship and authenticity.

In 1935, Walker Evans was commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, to photograph hundreds of African sculptures for the exhibition African Negro Art. Nearly ninety years later, Alekhuogie began investigating Evans's images, provocatively remixing them into his own vibrant and multilayered photographic collages. Transposing facsimiles of Evans's original images onto cardboard or paper structures of his own making, Alekhuogie rephotographs these image-sculptures against striking backdrops—often using East and West African textiles—thereby inviting multiple dimensions of viewership.

Alekhuogie's images draw upon the musical idiom of the reprise—a performance of repetition—and stake a claim to crucial, restorative ideas around Black antiquity by questioning our relationship to what we consider fake or original, art or archive. The book is designed by Other Means and includes essays by Wills Glasspiegel and Wendy A. Grossman, and an interview with the artist by Zo? Hopkins.
