《业余者》四卷本汇集了电影导演塞巴斯蒂安·利夫席茨近二十年来搜集的业余摄影作品。这些从全球跳蚤市场、画廊及网络平台发掘的影像，被划分为四大主题：诡谲之境、空寂之地、朦胧之像与海滨之畔。每卷围绕一个核心主题展开，通过变幻的构图、光影、动态与主体，构建出宏大的诗意拼贴。

塞巴斯蒂安·利夫席茨1968年生于巴黎。修完艺术史后，他于1990年进入当代艺术领域，曾协助蓬皮杜中心策展人伯纳德·布利斯特纳及摄影师苏珊·拉丰工作。1994年转向电影创作，叙事与纪录片并重。其作品屡获殊荣，包括让·维果奖、柯达奖、两度柏林电影节泰迪熊奖，以及2013年凯撒奖最佳纪录片奖（《隐秘的时光》）。2013年完成的纪录片《班比》亦入选柏林电影节。

"Amateur" consists of four volumes and unites a vast collection of amateur photographs assembled by filmmaker Sébastien Lifshitz over the last twenty years. Found on flea markets all over the world and in photo galleries or on the internet, they are divided into four themes: the uncanny, empty places, blurs and beachsides. Each volume revolves around one of those recurring themes, playing with the different frames, the changes of light, movement and subject in order to create an immense poetic collage.

Sébastien Lifshitz was born in Paris in 1968. After studying art history, he began working in the world of contemporary art in 1990, assisting curator Bernard Blistène at the Centre Pompidou, and photographer Suzanne Lafont. In 1994, he turned to filmmaking with equal attention to fiction and documentary. His films received numerous awards such as the Prix Jean Vigo and the Kodak Award, twice the Berlin Film Festival’s Teddy, and the Cesar 2013 for his last feature “The Invisibles.” Sébastien Lifshitz has just finished the documentary film “Bambi” which was selected at the Berlinale 2013.
