Appreciation towards Barry Underwood for providing the following description:
艺术家Barry Underwood利用LED灯把日常而琐碎的风景变身为独特的超现实场景。灯光让画面具有非一般的张力。
Barry Underwood得益于早期的戏剧训练，摄影经验与建筑经历，他探索北美各处风景，在面对一片风景时总能沉浸其中，然后再回游出来，接着用LED灯与发光材料进行游刃有余的创作，制造出抽象而如梦境般的图景。
安装往往持续数天，为了达到光效果也需要对影片进行长时间的曝光。利用光，与大自然合作，是这个创作中见功力之处，Barry Underwood提到每次摄影都是他与自然以及历史的对话。
日前Barry Underwood正在纽约百老汇的Sous Les Etoiles画廊举行一个名为“场景”的个展，展览时间持续到2014年7月12日。感兴趣又在附近的同学不妨关注。

Drawing from his early theatrical training, and influenced by historical methods of staged photography and constructed set design, Barry Underwood seeks to transform ordinary, everyday vistas into unique, and often surreal, experiences. “This tension between the familiar and the surreal gives the images a strange power,” Underwood writes. “I fashion these scenes by immersing myself in a place, instinctively reading the landscape, and then altering the site through LED lights, luminescent material, and other photographic effects. In the final prints, lights and alterations appear as intrusions, transforming landscapes into abstract images.”
Both Underwood’s installation process, which uses actual structures and may take several days to complete, and his documentation, employing long exposure times to harness the area’s ambient light, rely on the artist’s ability to harmoniously collaborate with nature as much as disrupt it. “Each photographic image is a dialogue—the result of my direct encounter with nature and history,” the artist explains. “Curiosity about ecological and social history of specific places drives my work.”
