内容简介

　　这是著名摄影师严明的首部彩色摄影集，是一部深邃而神秘的迷人作品。

　　严明的创作历时四年，足迹踏遍半个中国，但时空的元素在此隐而不现，指向情绪和视觉的深处。

　　在严明的视角下，彩色摄影不再是现实的复制，而成为一种超越现实的艺术表达，通过色块、光影和氛围，展示现实的复杂和美丽，体现艺术的民间性和现代性。这是作者关于摄影的独特理念和美学坚守。

　　“墙”是这部作品集的核心意象，严明认为，墙壁不仅承担围蔽的功能，还是情感和审美的媒介，记录了生活和历史的变迁。通过对墙的观察，他传达了对过往的沉思和对未来的预见。我们跟随他的脚步，拾级而上，打开一扇扇尘封的门，探寻墙背后的故事。

　　本书分为“情迹”“迷墙”“无常”“未央”四辑，辅以四段精妙的文字，每段文字，都是他对生活、艺术与自我认知的持续对话。它们既是间离作品的“迷墙”，也是严明摄影探索的“密钥”。

　　这是一场关于时间、记忆与存在的探险。让我们接受严明的邀请，一同在这旷野的“迷墙”之中，寻找生活的印迹，体会岁月的重量。

Content introduction

This is renowned photographer Yan Ming's first collection of color photographs, a fascinating work of depth and mystery.

Yan Ming's creation took four years and traveled half of China, but the element of time and space is hidden here, pointing to the depth of emotion and vision.

From a strict perspective, color photography is no longer a copy of reality, but a kind of artistic expression beyond reality. Through color blocks, light, shadow and atmosphere, it shows the complexity and beauty of reality, and reflects the folk and modernity of art. This is the author's unique concept and aesthetic adherence to photography.

"Wall" is the core image of this collection. Yan Ming believes that the wall not only serves as an enclosure, but also serves as an emotional and aesthetic medium, recording the changes of life and history. Through his observations of the wall, he conveys a meditation on the past and a vision of the future. We follow in his footsteps, up the stairs, open the dusty doors, and explore the stories behind the walls.

This book is divided into four volumes, "Love Trace", "Mystery wall", "Impermanence" and "Weiyang", supplemented by four exquisite texts, each text is his continuous dialogue on life, art and self-cognition. They are not only the "mystery wall" separating the works, but also the "key" of Yan Ming's photography exploration.

This is an adventure about time, memory and existence. Let us accept the solemn invitation to find the mark of life and experience the weight of time in this "wall of confusion" in the wilderness.
