在接力

一组七号作品，来自fototaker.
今天的西安，走着其他发达的大城市早已走过的路。事物变得更加虚伪，环城公园早已不那么纯粹。南门外的酒吧，西门旁的地产，更多格格不入、小资情调的东西进入了这里。
这是一座城对待其过去的态度。
所谓古城，空壳而已。所谓文明，早已消逝。所谓文化，早已割断。
谈不上对这座城市的爱与恨。只是，
愈来愈多的看到乏味的建筑，
愈来愈难看到真实又生动的生活；
愈来愈多的要依靠MP3里的曲，
愈来愈难得到内心的平静与安宁；
愈来愈多的怀疑眼前的一切，
愈来愈少的享受眼前的一切。
Forget about it, 还是继续拿起相机，自说自话。

Seventh photo from group 1,by fototaker.

Xi’an is stepping on the same way those developed cities passed.Everything is getting more hypocritical,and the Around City park is not so pure any more.Pubs out of South Gate,properties beside West Gate,and a lot other non-relative and bourgeois things are emerging here.
 
This is the attitude of a city how to treat its past.
 
A so called ancient city is just a shell.The “civilization” has vanished,the “culture”,discontinued.
 
It’s hard to say whether I love or hate this city,but
 
I see more and more boring buildings,but hard to see a true and vivid life sphere.
I rely more and more on songs in MP3 player,but hard to find tranquil in heart.
I doubt about everything more and more,but enjoy less and less.

Forget about it,I’d carry my camera,keep on talking to myself.

我也曾是一名信徒，虔诚的信奉着她的誓言。

我将对她拍照当做一次次的供奉，

但，当有一天，镜头中不再出现她的身影时，我才发觉，朝拜的居然是一尊泥菩萨。

这尊泥菩萨经不起尘世的风吹雨打，

现在，疑惑由心生：

究竟是我追随错了对象，还是我本就不应开始追随的路程。

我打开天书，渐渐显露四个字——顺其自然。

Sixth photo from group 1,by Jinrilidong.

I used to be a follower,believe in her promises with great piety.

Photos are my sacrifice to her,for many times.

But one day,she didn’t show up again in the lens,I found what I worshipped is just a mud buddha.

It’s hard for it to undertake the tortures in the mundane world.

And I was confused,

Did I followed the wrong person,or should not start the journey.

I tried to find the oracle,there are four words:

Just let it be.

它们曾经给过人类慰藉，但是当所谓的主人们不再需要它们的时候，它们就只能这样栖身于公园里。

然而它们注定是这个城市的神祇…

每天都会有人为它们送来食物，一如虔诚的信徒送上供奉的牺牲。

而我，只是一个路过的相机测试者。

今日立冬将回应这张作品。

They brought people relief,when the so called owners didn’t need them anymore,they had to live in the parks.

But they are the Gods of this city.

There are always people bringing food for them,just like believers offer sacrifice for their worships.

I was just a camera tester passing by.

Jinrilidong will be responding to this.

If you look hard enough, you can find the guiding lines amidst the chaotic signs.

Next week Mengqin will respond to this.

You must determine the direction of observing and going by yourself.

Next week Tan Wan Ting will respond to this.

Second photo from group 1,in responding to Tanjun.

Early afternoon

Early afternoon – After lunch, when the sun burns down on every human being and time starts to slow down, silence seems to spread in the streets.

Every now and then a big truck will roar by and disappear again in the thick layer of afternoon heat and the brain´s slow function.

Flies hum around fruits, sitting on kiwis, then sitting on melons. Shop owners doze with open mouths and their head against some wall, and cicadas make crazy noise up in the trees. It´s much safer to stay in or stay in the shadow in this early afternoon.

Zihan will respond to this next week.

  刚刚开始的下午

  吃过了午饭，下午才刚刚开始。，太阳烤着每一个人，时间放慢了脚步，寂静开始在街上扩散。

在厚重的热量之上，在反应缓慢的大脑皮层之上，不时地大卡车呼啸而过，它们转瞬消失无影。

苍蝇在水果周围嗡嗡作响鸣，它们停留在猕猴桃上，再停留在西瓜上。小店的老板们头靠着墙，张嘴打着哈欠，知了在树上发出疯狂的噪音。这个刚刚开始的下午，最好的去处，是该待在阴凉里呢，还是该待在阴凉里呢。

這輛車常停在這條我幾乎天天走過的路上，可能是來附近西門子上班的人的，因為週末時似乎沒見到過。

某天下午，天氣和陽光將街道上的一切渲染得匪夷所思的親切，甚至這輛與我毫無關聯的車。

這一站叫花家地北裡，花家地街上最繁華、喧鬧、擁擠的一處。川流的汽車、橫穿馬路的人群、路上的永遠在施工留下的鋼板，每一段街道都是一個正在趕工廠房，忙忙碌碌、熙熙攘攘。

這一刻，自然把人造的世界再次染出自然的效果，我記錄下來，生活的幻象。

Wangjing,Mini

First photo from group 1,by Tanjun

It was an afternoon,the weather and sunshine rendered everything on the street,all the things was incredibly familiar to me,even this unrelated car.

This car is always parked on the way I walk by everyday,it might belong to some Siemens employee,cause it seldom shows up on weekend.

This place is called North Huajiadi Street,it’s the most prosperous,noisy and crowd spot on this street.Cars keep on passing by,people cross the roads,and you can always see steel plates on the road,which was left after construction.Every section of the street seems like a factory in working hour,the hustle and bustle never ends.

But in this moment,nature painted the artificial world out a nature effect,I recorded it here,the illusion of life.
