社会景观中的形象民主。

从任何公众角度来看，照片和摄影师对我们社会景观的饱和都是显而易见的。摄影可以说是民主的媒介，在今天的文化和阶层中，摄影甚至比语言更容易获得。在某些方面，这一直是李弗里兰德（Lee Friedlander）经久不衰的主题——普通公民通过拍摄照片与世界互动的方式，以及这些照片以及为广告或政治目的而构建的照片如何定义公共空间。

在《李弗里兰德：人民的照片》中，我们看到了跨越60年的照片，其中大部分是美国以及西欧和亚洲的部分地区。这些照片都是弗里兰德独特的照片：既关乎相机前的内容，也关乎摄影师一生对媒体的重新定义。就像他对社会景观中的文字、字母和数字的探索一样，弗里兰德对我们社会的巨大视觉编排似乎不可避免地会拍摄到这些照片。但毫无疑问，弗里兰德的照片并不是客观的文件；这些作品都是他通过与时间和地点的合作而有意创作的、有创意的、好玩的、聪明的作品。

The democracy of the image in the social landscape.

The saturation of our social landscape by photographs and photographers is apparent from any public point of view. Photography is arguably the most democratic of mediums, even more accessible today across culture and class than language. In some regards, this has been Lee Friedlander’s most enduring subject―the way that average citizens interact with the world by making pictures of it, as well as how those pictures and the pictures constructed for advertising or political purposes define the public space.

In Lee Friedlander: The People’s Pictures we see photographs spanning six decades, most of the geographic United States and parts of Western Europe and Asia. These pictures are uniquely Friedlander photographs: as much about what’s in front of the camera as they are about the photographer’s lifelong redefining of the medium. Like his exploration of words, letters and numbers in the social landscape, these photographs of photography’s street presence seem inevitable to Friedlander’s vast visual orchestration of what our society looks like. But make no mistake, Friedlander’s photographs are not objective documents; they are intentional, authored, playful, intelligent creations made through his unprecedented collaboration with time and place.
