主题阐述：UAy星汇当代美术馆

“当媒介成为日常-Questioning Photography Now”是一个自发的工作追问，应该被理解为一个建议。它从蜚声世界的杜塞尔多夫摄影流派以及它的现场现状谈起，并集中强调了媒介的自我创造更新的可能性。作为媒介的摄影通常被理解为纯粹的艺术主张，而应用型摄影、或者说功能型摄影则被排除在外。摄影巨匠贝歇尔夫妇关于摄影的贡献于学术上传达了纯摄影在纪实摄影的假设，这塑造了杜塞尔多夫摄影流派的自我概念，“类型学”成为了一个跨越边界的流派并不断的衍生出新的力量。UAy星汇当代美术馆

"Questioning Photography Now" is a spontaneous working title that should be understood as a suggestion. It refers to the current situation of the Düsseldorf photography scene, which is in a concentrated survey of the medium and its own point of view. Autonomous photography alone is understood with its purely artistic claim; the forms of applied photography are not taken into account. The deciding factor for this situation of self-questioning is first of all the postulate of documentary photography academically conveyed by the photographers Bernhard and Hilla Becher, which has shaped the self-conception of Düsseldorf photography.UAy星汇当代美术馆

当下，摄影的数字化，便捷化，以及摄影机器和移动手机的结合，已经就本质上改变了摄影的生成方式，纪实摄影已经否认了自己的多样性（或者说不再生产出这种多样性），这意味着它的普遍有效性被质疑。摄影生产方式的便捷让图像和我们的日常生活真正的融为一体，在纪实摄影被质疑的当下，关于摄影/媒介/图像在生产和创造的环节，艺术或者艺术家的工作，是不是我们展开自我怀疑的进一步因素。UAy星汇当代美术馆

Documentary photography has denied itself in its varieties and can no longer claim to be universally valid. The digitization of photography, its ease of use, its use by everyone and the flood of our daily lives through uninterrupted image production - are further factors that make artistic photography a subject of self-questioning.UAy星汇当代美术馆
