香港攝影書店空間「顯影堂」即將為中國藝術家秦思琪舉辦香港首次攝影個展 《Between Body and Bloom》，展出《人體美學》及《花草集》兩個系列作品，探討身體 (Body) 與花卉 (Bloom) 之間的微妙連結。

《人體美學》作品受美國攝影師Robert Mapplethorpe啟發，刻畫人體的極致之美。作品中的軀體或如雕塑般靜穆，或充滿動感及張力的姿態，精緻的構圖與光影，令人聯想到Bill Brandt、Edward Weston等攝影師的經典人體作品。

《花草集》將鏡頭聚焦玫瑰、火鶴花等花卉，藝術家對色彩層次與構圖節奏的掌控恰如其分，既克制又深婉，呈現出帶著詩意的自然之美。作品受美國藝術家Georgia O’Keeffe與日本攝影師荒木經惟所啟發，以插花結合攝影，構築出溫柔而張力十足的情感敘事——為此秦思琪學習插花，拍攝花卉，也投射自己的情感。

回顧攝影史，花卉題材一向備受青睞。美國攝影師Imogen Cunningham以精妙光影捕捉花的質感與生命力，她的女性視角為花卉攝影奠下美學基礎。珠玉在前，思琪借用物件的襯托，並精心為每幅作品命名，巧妙地結合《聖經》及古羅馬/希臘神話故事，如「維納斯的狂喜」等，以象徵手法拓展語意，隱喻人類對自然、生命的渴望與依戀。

花有盛開亦有凋零。花朵象徵生命的短暫與欲望的流動，而人體同樣經歷生與滅的循環。藝術家以花與軀體為雙重隱喻，凝視存在的脆弱與優雅；她拍攝的不僅是形體，更是情感的回聲，作品在柔與剛之間，映照出創作者真摯而細膩的內心風景。

DEVEDO Exhibition – Between Body and Bloom

features Siqi Qin’s Human Aesthetics and Flowers

DEVEDO is pleased to present Chinese artist Siqi Qin’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong, featuring two of her iconic series: the Human Aesthetics and Flowers.

Human Aesthetics was inspired by Robert Mapplethorpe. Siqi portrays the body’s ultimate beauty—sometimes sculptural and still, other times dynamic and fluid. Her refined approach to composition and light recalls the classic nudes of Bill Brandt and Edward Weston.  

Flowers focus on blooms such as roses and anthuriums, which quietly bloom within the exhibition space. Her sensitive mastery of composition achieves a balance between restraint and tenderness, presenting a poetic vision of nature’s beauty. Inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe and photographer Nobuyoshi Araki, Siqi brings together floristry and photography to construct a narrative of emotion that is both gentle and charged with tension. 

Throughout the history of photography, flowers have long been a beloved subject. American photographer Imogen Cunningham captured the texture and vitality of blooms with exquisite light and shadow, establishing a feminine aesthetic foundation for floral photography. 

Building upon this lineage, Siqi uses chosen objects as subtle counterparts and assigns each work a carefully considered title—such as The Ecstasy of Venus and Ariadne’s Thread—drawing from the Bible and Greco-Roman mythology. Through these symbolic gestures, she expands the semantic field of her work, alluding to humanity’s longing and attachment to nature and life.  

Flowers bloom and wither; they mirror the fleeting nature of life and the movement of desire. The human body also exists within this cycle of vitality and decay. Through the dual metaphors of the flower and the body, Siqi contemplates the fragility and grace of existence. What she captures is not merely form, but emotional reverberation—a reflection of her sincere and delicate inner landscape, suspended between softness and strength.
