“封面”是街头摄影师Alex Bartsch一个非常有趣的摄影项目,目的在帮助雷鬼乐(Reggae)爱好者贴地了解覆盖系每张经典著名专辑封面上拍摄过的地方。


寻找封面艺术,唱片封面拍摄的地方总是对来自伦敦的摄影师Alex Bartsch有一个奇怪的吸引力。当他是小朋友的时候就自小对雷鬼音乐着迷,因为当他接触过“雷鬼音乐传奇”长发 "Bob" Marley的作品就爱上。音乐成为了Bartsch在伦敦漫游寻找封面的驱动力,于是他在1967年至1987年出版的经典雷鬼音乐封面中寻找封面的所在地。










为了制作这有趣的42张照片,Bartsch花了10年时间。他指出:“通常,封面上会提到位置信息,但并不是每个张碟都会这样做。我意识到,能够从头开始实施这个项目。最好去当地搜索唱片公司。有时,我们看到的照片就是在一些著名唱片公司的门外拍摄的。”






事实上,当Bartsch开始制作自己的拍摄创作时,大多数地方都没有明显变化。不过,Bartsch也意识到有些地方已经消失或转变成另一种建筑,如超级市场,公寓......,令到摄影项目变得“不可能”。














如果在亚洲地方尤其是中国,十年人事几翻新,相信寻回旧日照片中的旧地会更加「不可能」。
