Appreciation towards Serge Najjar for providing the following description:

Serge Najjar的摄影方式非常直观的源自于他对当代艺术的热忱。Serge Najjar的摄影作品将观察者带入真实与奇幻的交织世界。这些摄影作品捕捉过去的时间，或是某些赋予某种建造结构之中的短暂情绪。这些照片带人进入一个个静止的画面，而这些画面中的旁观者，都身处在画面所呈现出的奇异空间里。空间与人，完整了这一幅幅作品。

Serge Najjar’s approach to photography is intuitive. It derives from his passion for modern and contemporary art. Serge Najjar’s pictures place the viewer within a world where reality and fantasy meet. They capture the passing of time, or a space where the transient disposition of man would inhabit ideal radical constructions. Motionless variations on a theme, the photographs engage in a dialogue, complete each other or not, but always create a singular space that is inhabited by the onlooker within the space they are presented in.

穿梭在城市中的大街小巷，摄影师探寻了一些寻常建筑形态的不寻常角度，并把他们定格在自己的快门之下。光与影，或匆忙或闲散的路人，还有建筑，构成了这些略带抽象的摄影作品，展现了摄影师的个人风格。瞬间的捕捉，对摄影角度和距离的把控，最终呈现出这一幅幅极具表现力的作品。

Always on foot across the city, the photographer tracks down architecture, surfaces and “ordinary” shapes which when seen from unusual angles appear as surreal figures. One click and the concert of the outdoors is frozen into evidence. Shadow and light, passerby, subject, worker; thus architecture and man stay on the edge of abstraction. This is where we find the formal language of the photographer. By appropriating the principles of capture of immediate reality, where direct photography is only possible thanks to the distance of the subject, and the photographer too.

不论是彩色照片还是黑白照片，Najjar的画面都呈现出连贯的体系，展现平面上的进深变化。这些摄影作品所展现的画面平静而没有纷争，画面内充斥着生活中的元素。几何状的阴影，三维渐变的形态以及立体透视，摄影师将这些环绕我们身边的环境，以另一个角度重新解读。

Whether colour or black and white photographs, Najjar’s body of images forms a coherent sum that emerges instantly, without meditation, as a dance between flatness and depth. Careful, calm, without outcry, the photographer plays with elements that are readily available. Shadows become geometric sculptures; three dimensional shapes morph into planes. Perspectives tilt, the image is constructed, reality is cut, riffled through and rebuilt by the lines that surround us.

“当你用全新的眼光去看世界，你将会体验到一种前所未有的感觉。当你将这一面呈现给别人时，你才深刻意识到这这种画面的强调表现力。建筑可以成为摄影的灵感来源，但是如何让建筑在画面呈现中显得更加有趣，就需要摄影师对情境的安排，和对现场变化的把控。一个人的审美和摄影能力重新定义了一些我们已知的生活环境。摄影帮助我找到美与丑，平凡与出众，混轮与有序，真实与真理之间的界限。”

“When you look at things with a new eye, you live again. You realize how powerful you can become just by pushing others to see what they may not be able to see by themselves. You also end up realizing that there is no such thing as an ideal place to photograph, or an ideal city. Architecture can, of course, be a source of inspiration, but what makes things more interesting is questioning ourselves about contexts, aesthetics, and our ability to redefine what we think we already know. Photography helped me explore the thin line between the ugly and the beautiful, the ordinary and the less ordinary, between chaos and order, reality and truth.”
