留白
文：蒋振雄（刊登于《中国摄影报》2007年6月）

我们有时候，要得太多。
当我们想要“留白”的时候，上了层楼。图片如此，人生亦如此。
“弄堂”是我这样的上海人的儿时情怀，抹不去的江南烟雨。随手拍摄，随手放着。忽一天，遇上赵丹虹邂逅支霎祺，“弄堂”被一位策展人和一位设计家，描画出新的面貌。而“留白”，则是我一贯的主张，也是赵支俩女特别理解的心声。
我们选出一些上海老弄堂的照片，像罗兰.巴特说的：“它就那么存在着。”平实地记录着沪渎，以及她子民的生存状态。
支霎祺的新视觉设计思想，挥洒在Photoshop，Paint等图像、绘画软件中，对每一幅图片肆意再行创作--抹去大片原有的图像，留白弄堂。在需要添加视觉元素的地方，参照原图，刻画人物、三轮、楼宇直至马桶。边缘化的构图因子融入多元素摄影画面的再现，令人惊喜。她重新述说了“老弄堂”的“新意像”，现代欧陆时尚牵手了华夏传统摩登。
赵丹虹说：“嗯，做个展吧，叫‘老弄堂-新意像’就好。”
我和霎祺，在空间上是美女和野兽、在时间上是昨日和明天、在操守上是淡定和激扬、在演绎上是传统和现代；在心像上是本土和欧美…….巨大的反差，巨量的涨跌，造成不可思议的距离。然而这距离，反身成为“突破常规”的可能，成为思维定势叛逆的空间。我们眼前的照片，“留白”得可以心鹜八级，可以天马行空…….
霎祺与我，中间站着赵丹虹。
试图共同诠释申城弄堂文化的“前世今生”。
关于弄堂，总有太多的话要说，像京人镜对胡同一样，感慨万千。但愈说得多，离弄堂则愈远。故此，且留白。以有限空间，换无限想象。好在沪渎的弄堂，百年来已成文化意象，本无需我多说什么，她自在，大音希声大象无形。
柴可夫斯基说：“如果你在自己身上找不到欢乐，就到人民中去吧。”弄堂便是这样一种无处不有人民存在的物事，我爱游弋其中，得技得道，言悲言欢。
而霎祺，在“联合”展览后的“老弄堂，新意像”中，会“留白”自己的心灵空间，以供日后未可限量版艺术前途的驰骋。
赵丹虹说：老弄堂好，会生发出更多新意象。
霎祺说：弄这种的东西，最有劲了。
我说：就这么看吧，让各位费眼了。
小葛啊（顶层画廊的酒吧总监），给赵老师来杯爱死巴苏；给霎祺燃一支摩尔；我么，弄一砸最贱民最草根的三得利。
哇！我们老中青仨，陶醉先！
烟酒穿肠，胸臆留白。

Encounter with somebody in your life
By Sharky
I never thought about starting a brand new style of communication like this! As which is accepted in the circle of art, unique and fresh will be the most important main idea to create works. But sometimes the unique means no rear or single but duplicate the artists as well as the process of working.
So this is my try working with Jiang who is a professional photographer with an age of my father. He gave his pictures to me without any instruction but trust and a little bit excitement of waiting for the coming result recreated by me. I continue with my own idea boldly without any stress but a tiny imagination of Jian’s feeling touching my heart. So we start, so we work together, so we give birth to theShanghai lanes.
“Why not continue a little bit more?” After the words, Jiang took out his camera and aimed at me. Model as well as a freelance artist, exiting as well as unprofessional, we two are changing our idea without words but our own way of art language and pose. This is why I became the model of Jiang’s pictures this time.
Photographer and model, something more?
Yes, we still continue to make the works an entire work. I used my digital way again and this time, more material started to flashed through my fingers and we loved the idea again.
“This is unique!” said holly, the host of topart .
“This is communication I called.” I answered.
“Yes, our communication with gap of life and age but stretching cross the difference we have.” Said Jiang.
Its really rear to have encountered someone that can understand and be understood with free imagination and art sense in the mix life of Shanghai.

老弄堂新意象——蒋振雄和支霎祺作品展览
这对忘年的创作组合，用他们迥异的创作手法，剪影着自己对上海弄堂新旧的记忆。蒋振雄，50多岁的摄影师；支霎祺，20出头的女艺术家。他们同是生活于上海弄堂的本地人，他们对石库门的记忆同样新旧交替；他们曾经分别在顶层画廊做展览，于是交流中就有了这样的设想：支霎祺把蒋振雄的老照片用电脑绘画设计成新作品，将这个含有老上海元素的新艺术形式尝试于空间设计和平面设计。顶层画廊的这个展览将他们合作的作品以打印的透纱布置空间；用有限的书籍装帧设计效果启迪无限的艺术创意。
