简介

这是当今最具吸引力的摄影师之一泰勒·米切尔（Tyler Mitchell，1995年生于亚特兰大）职业生涯早期创作的决定性回顾。米切尔的作品以历史为背景，充满对天堂与欢乐的憧憬。自他在艺术与时尚界崭露头角以来，米切尔创作的关于美、乌托邦和美国景观的影像，拓展了21世纪黑人形象的想象空间。

《Wish This Was Real》全面审视了米切尔艺术实践的核心主题，从他风格跨界的人像摄影（拍摄于美国、欧洲和西非），到他印在半透明织物上的照片以及致敬黑人知识遗产的雕塑作品，均有收录。本书通过多位重要作者的全新视角，探讨了米切尔长期关注的自我决定与日常非凡光辉等主题，展示了肖像摄影如何扎根于集体过去，同时又唤起想象的未来。

该书为配合国际巡回展览而出版（2024年始于柏林C/O Berlin，巡展至赫尔辛基、洛桑、巴黎等地），是米切尔首部个人作品集，也是了解这位在2018年以23岁之龄成为首位为《Vogue》杂志拍摄封面的黑人摄影师的重要参考。

The definitive early-career survey of one of the most compelling photographers of his generation. Tyler Mitchell's photography is animated by dreams of paradise and joy against the backdrop of history. Since his rise to prominence in the worlds of art and fashion, Mitchell has created images of beauty, utopia, and the American landscape that expand the imaginary of Blackness in the twenty-first century. Wish This Was Real is the definitive early-career survey of Mitchell's work, offering a comprehensive look into the subjects driving his artistic practice, from his genre-bending portraits made in the United States, Europe, and West Africa to his photographs printed on diaphanous fabrics and sculptures that reference Black intellectual heritage. Presenting new perspectives by leading writers on his long-standing themes of self-determination and the extraordinary radiance of the everyday, Wish This Was Real shows how photography can be rooted in a collective past while evoking imagined futures.
