感谢 Iwan Baan 予gooood的分享。
Appreciation towards Iwan Baan for providing the following description:

去年夏天，世界著名摄影师Iwan Baan生平第一次到访并且拍摄了布拉格这座城市。在这七天里他手持相机，通过步行、骑行和乘坐直升机的方式进行拍摄和记录。他此行历经了布拉格市中心、周边以及伏尔塔和沿岸的景观。Iwan Baan本次呈现的摄影作品，展示了这座城市原始的、时常会被忽视的、且与旅游指南中光鲜亮丽的图片相去甚远的样貌。展览被命名为“Iwan Baan：布拉格日记”，将在CAMP展览至8月20日。

Last summer, Iwan Baan, a world-renowned architecture photographer, visited and photographed Prague for the first time in his life. Seven days with a camera in hand – on foot, on a bike, and from a helicopter. Through the center, the periphery, and the landscape along the Vltava River. He now presents his work, which shows the city as raw, often neglected, and miles away from the glossy pictures in tourist guides. The exhibition, entitled Iwan Baan: Prague Diary, runs until 20 August at CAMP.

该展览的构思是一场想象中的城市朝圣之旅，由四个层面的主题组成——初次与城市接触，市中心、城市周边和自然风光。参观者可以自由地在这些作品之间漫步，并沉浸在各种各样的角落中。展厅中大幅面的投影展示了Baan的航拍作品——为参观者提供一个能够从不同寻常的角度和意想不到的环境欣赏布拉格的机会。展亭对面的墙上陈列着Iwan Baan在布拉格拍摄的所有照片，这些作品都以原始的、未经剪辑的、随机的方式呈现。展览还伴有Iwan Baan本人的音频讲解，参观者可以由此窥见摄影师创作背后的故事。

The exhibition is conceived as an imaginary urban pilgrimage, permeated by four thematic levels – first contact with the city, the center, the periphery, and natural scenery. The visitor is free to wander through them and get lost in its various nooks. A large-format projection of the exhibition hall is dedicated to Baan’s aerial photographs – visitors to the exhibition thus have the unique opportunity to see Prague from unusual angles and in unsuspected contexts. On the opposite wall of the exhibition hall, the exposition reveals almost all the photographs that Iwan Baan took in Prague. Raw, unedited, random. Accompanied by an audio commentary by Iwan Baan himself, the visitor can thus get a glimpse into the “behind the scenes” of the photographer’s creative method.

“我总是试图用一种非常直观的方式去了解一座新的城市——试图放下不同的期望，直接从场地本身和当地发生的事情获取灵感。参观地标建筑并思考其对人们重要的原因是一件很有意义的事，但同时你也需要把目光转向另一个方向，去观察人们实际生活的地方发生了什么。我想说的是，这种互动对于捕捉城市中的故事来说更为重要”。 Baan说道。

“I always try to get to know each new city in a very intuitive way. I try to let go of different expectations and draw inspiration directly from the place itself and the encounters that happen here. It’s good to visit landmarks and think about why that particular place is important to people, but at the same time you also need to turn your gaze in the other direction and observe what’s happening where people actually live. I would say that this kind of interaction is perhaps even more important in capturing the story of the city”, says Baan.

“Iwan Baan的作品并没有局限于众人皆知的地点，更多的是关注那些被忽视的地方。他还测绘了例如Žižkov货运站和Vltavská地铁区这类重要工业用地，并拍摄了那里最原始的状态。Baan重点拍摄了河流附近的建筑、工业建筑、交通基础设施、岛屿、景观以及城市中繁忙和安静的生活场景，在这些看似矛盾场所中他创造出了一幅马赛克式的图像，将城市肖像拼凑起来——游客们可以从本次的CAMP展览中欣赏到”。布拉格规划与发展研究所所长Ondřej Boháč说道。

“Iwan Baan does not limit his photographs of Prague merely to notorious and sought-after locations but focuses also on the neglected ones. He also maps important brownfields such as the Žižkov Freight Station or the Vltavská metro area and captures them in their raw state. Baan focuses on buildings near the river, industrial buildings, transport infrastructure, islands, the landscape, and the busy and quiet life around it. From the contradictions he creates a mosaic which he has used to put together an urban portrait that visitors can see at the exhibition in CAMP”, says Ondřej Boháč, Director of the Prague Institute of Planning and Development.

“显然布拉格是由其显著的景观所定义的——尤其是这里流动的河流和其形状，这座城市原本就是在河流沿岸逐渐建立起来的。有趣的是，虽然从很多角度看不到这条河，但是你能够市场感受到他的存在。在航拍图片中能够看到，城市与河流之间的这种良好的相互关系。作为一名摄影师，这些瞬间对我来说非常的宝贵，因为它给了我一直寻找的东西——整体与细节之间的联系”。Baan说道。

“Prague is of course significantly defined by its landscape – especially by the shape of the flowing river on whose banks the city was gradually built. It is interesting that even though you cannot see the river from many places, you constantly feel its presence in the city. It is in aerial photographs that this interrelationship between the city and the river comes out very well. For me as a photographer, these moments are very valuable because they give me what I am looking for – the connection of details to the whole”, says Baan.

本次展览的主题“Iwan Baan：布拉格日记”灵感来自于艺术家在Instagram上的标题“A diary of travels with the iPhone”（记录与iPhone同游的一天）。从城市的一端漫步到另一端的想法，被Baan以图片日记的形式记录下来，该想法也是布拉格展览概念的一部分。

The title of the exhibition “Iwan Baan: Prague Diary” is based on the caption “A diary of travels with the iPhone” on the artist’s Instagram account. The idea of endless wanderings through the city from one end to the other, recorded in the form of a pictorial diary, has been part of the Prague exhibition concept since the initial idea of a joint project.

“布拉格的历史建筑让我想起了很多大城市，例如伦敦或巴黎。但它们的不同之处在于其宏伟的城市规划和建筑与其非常放松愉快的城市生活之间形成了一定的对比”。谈起布拉格 Iwan Baan是这样说的。

“The historical architecture of Prague reminds me a lot of big metropolises like London or Paris. But what’s different here is a certain contrast between that grandiose urbanism with its grandiose architecture and the sort of very pleasant relaxedness of the rest of the city”, says Iwan Baan about Prague.
