Sovan Philong是柬埔寨目前最重要的當代攝影師之一,出生於1986年並已經曾在巴黎、新加坡與英國展出。

從第一眼看,Philong可被視作街頭攝影師,捕捉城市生活中的場景,尤其是他最著名的系列「In the city by night」,描繪了金邊與暹粒市夜晚的居民。他意圖展現出那些被遺忘和被隱藏的人,但他捕捉在街上隨機遇到的人作為模特兒是一個十分小心翼翼的鋪陳過程。

他對光線十分著迷,藉由摩托車的車燈照亮拍攝現場,也因此使得這些街道在片刻之間遠離了現實,他們變得更接近像是文藝復興時期的繪畫,人們的姿態、表情和身體都被美麗的呈現,他們表現出猶豫、絕望或是靜止不動,畫面的顏色十分深沈而溫暖。

很多時候被拍攝的模特兒們互相凝視或是看著攝影師的方式是十分緊張的,「凝視」是Philong攝影作品中非常重要的不分。乍看之下,你可以看見短暫的片刻,但這些由Philong所拍攝的短暫存在的瞬間卻看似永恆持續著,簡單的人物似乎轉變成了強烈的宗教形象。他總是拍攝那些永恆的感受,當心靈主宰著身體的持續感,當靈魂漂浮在具象的日常生活之上。

​一種強烈的靈性入侵在他的每一張相片當中,並造就了一個令他們迷人的謎團。

原文

​Sovan Philong is one of the most important contemporary photographers of Cambodia.

He was born in 1986 and has already exhibited in Paris, Singapore and United Kingdom. At first glance, Philong could be classified as a street photographer, catching scenes of the city life, especially in his most famous series « In the city by night » picturing inhabitants of Phnom Penh and Siem Reap taken at night.

Philong aims at showing those who are forgotten and hidden. But the method he uses to catch the models he randomly meets in the streets is a carefully elaborated process.
Fascinated by light, Philong uses the phares of his motorbike to lighten the scene. Therefore, these streets moments distant themselves from realism.
They become closer to renaissance paintings. The human figure, the faces and the bodies are beautifully displayed. They express hesitation, despair or stillness. The colors are deep and warm. Very often, the ways the models look at each other or at the photographer are intense.

Gaze is an essential component of Philong’s photographies. At first glance, you see fugitive moments. But those short-lived moments, photographed by Philong, seem to last eternally. Simple characters are turned into intense religious figures. He always photographes a feeling of eternity, a sense of duration when the mind dominates the body, when the soul floats above the concrete daily life.. A strong sense of spirituality invades each of Philong’s photos.

There is a mystery that makes them fascinating.

作品簡介
​Philong Sovan原本在《金邊郵報》(Phnom Penh Post)擔任攝影師,後來決定專注於他個人的拍攝題目。他完全了解新聞攝影的局限性,但他想繼續探索和記錄他所居住的世界。他發明了一個聰明、簡單的設備──使用摩托車的前照燈,展示了我們所看不到的東西,憑藉細膩而強烈的色彩感,在肖像畫和情境之間,發展出一種新的紀錄片狀態。他不只是在描述,而是問問題。他所增添的光線讓人有一種「逼真的小說感」。
