印度北部拉達克地區的冬天,放眼望去盡是連綿的雪山及冰川,位於高原山谷的藏斯卡河 (Zanskar River) 在嚴寒下結冰,成為附近村民與外界聯絡的途徑,如今這條Chadar Trek也成為許多人夢寐以求的冰川探險路線。香港攝影師余浩揚今年初踏上Chadar Trek冰川之旅,以黑白菲林記錄下途中所見所聞,更藉著展覽《荒白》呈現這片淨土予人的靜謐意境。

拉達克 (Ladakh) 是藏族居住區,其歷史與文化與西藏息息相關,喜歡西藏的阿揚,自然心生嚮往。在為期五天的冰川步行中,眼前是不見盡頭的美景,避開城市生活的喧囂,時間靜靜流淌,彼時他的內心一片平靜。手中的NIKON FM2相機相伴已廿載,興之所至便按下快門,雪地、山谷、結冰湖面的裂縫、日落時的光影與山峰輪廓、五彩經幡,以及沿途的相遇,一一定格在他的菲林裡。
阿揚是商業攝影師,日常創作大多是彩色影像,旅行時他卻喜歡以黑白菲林拍攝,為舉辦這次展覽,他事隔二十年再度走近黑房,親自將旅途影像沖曬成銀鹽相片,過程中同樣忘卻時間的束縛,內心的平和也在呼應著旅程。

黑白銀鹽相片的效果令人著迷,當林嘉欣看到這輯作品時,也深深被吸引,她親手以黑泥製作出一百件器皿,在畫廊鋪砌出密集如山石堆的景觀,藉此回應阿揚的影像;本地創作單位Cowrice則以其中一幅攝影師的作品創作成版畫作品。《荒白》展覽涵蓋攝影、陶藝及版畫三個截然不同的媒介,形成有趣的對比與映照,然而卻都有著讓人放下腳步的魔力。

Traveling from Hong Kong to the mountainous region of North India, photographer Lamb said everyone needs some wilderness to maintain a stable state of mind while walking on the frozen Zanskar River.
During the five-day trek, Lamb leaves the hustle and bustle of city life behind in front of the appealing mountain view. Time flowed quietly, and his heart was at peace.
Snow-covered mountains, cracks on the frozen lake, light and shadow at sunset, colorful prayer flags, and encounters along the way are all captured in Lamb’s NIKON FM2 camera.
As a commercial photographer, Lamb’s daily creations are color images. Yet, he likes to shoot in black and white negatives when traveling. For this exhibition, he went to the black room again after 20 years and developed the photographic film into silver gelatin images. While making prints, he forgets the passage of time, and the inner peace echoes the journey.
