项目简介

“刹那的永恒”是由建筑摄影师杨天周创作的系列影像，意在探讨建筑流动的边界。这一系列的拍摄对象十分多样，涵盖久负盛名的大师作品、平平无奇的民居、无人问津的废弃构筑等等。摄影师捕捉了这些不同建筑物与象征永恒的地平线交汇的刹那，显示出时间、空间与记忆的交汇在特定时刻使人造物成为了建筑，揭示了建筑流动而模糊的边界，引导观者思考建筑的本质。

“Ephemeral Eternity” is a series of images created by architectural photographer Tianzhou Yang, aimed at exploring the fluid boundaries of architecture. This diverse collection includes renowned masterpieces, ordinary residences, and abandoned structures that often go unnoticed. The photographer captures moments where these varied buildings intersect with the symbolic horizon of eternity, illustrating how the convergence of time, space, and memory at specific moments transforms human-made structures into architecture. This series reveals the dynamic and blurred boundaries of architecture, encouraging viewers to contemplate its true essence.

自序

建筑是什么？代代学者为精确定义建筑做出过种种尝试，却莫衷一是。相比各类冗长复杂的定义，我偏爱以下简洁而富有诗意的表达——建筑是远方天地交汇而成的地平线。它辽远模糊，不可触碰，却给人希望与慰藉。当人们眺望远方，尽头的地平线总能唤起人类远古的记忆，时间与空间在此交汇延展，人们得以在此窥见永恒的秘密。

What is architecture? For centuries, people have sought to define architecture precisely, yet a definitive answer remains elusive. Rather than lengthy and complex definitions, I prefer the following succinct and poetic expression: architecture is the horizon where the earth and sky converge. It is distant and indistinct, beyond reach, yet it offers hope and solace. When we gaze into the distance, the horizon seems to evoke an ancient human memory where time and space intertwine, revealing eternal secrets.

建筑的本质或许就在于对永恒的追求——或是物质上，或是精神上，或是记忆上。欧洲教堂以砖石砌筑，沐浴风雨，屹立千年；伊势神宫一次次拆解重建，周而复始，永不停息；中国的园林楼阁被代代文人墨客记录，卷帙浩繁，千古流传。然而不论物质、精神或记忆总会消逝，永恒就像地平线，看似近在咫尺却遥不可及，一座座建筑就是人类在这场如夸父逐日般的旅程中创造出的一个个微小标记。

The essence of architecture lies in the pursuit of eternity, whether in material, spirit, or memory. European cathedrals, built of stone, withstand the elements and stand tall for millennia; Japan’s Ise Shrine is repeatedly dismantled and rebuilt in a ceaseless cycle; Chinese gardens and pavilions are recorded in extensive literary works, passed down through the ages. Yet, whether material, spiritual, or memory, all eventually fade. Eternity, like the horizon, seems within reach but remains elusive. Each piece of architecture is a small marker created by humanity in this pursuit, reminiscent of the myth of Kuafu chasing the sun.

建筑对永恒的追逐并非体现在每时每刻。砖石教堂的永恒体现于人类在时间切片中与它一次次对望的时刻，伊势神宫的永恒体现在拆解与重建的过程，文字记录中建筑的永恒体现在被阅读的瞬间。这意味着建筑只有在与永恒发生关系的某段时间才能被称为建筑，而这样的区间或许并不在建筑使用时，也可能在设计、施工或被遗弃成为废墟的过程中。完整的雅典卫城想必难以与如今的卫城废墟相媲美，建成的圣家堂大概也再难如这百年施工间带给人憧憬与力量。

However, the pursuit of eternity in architecture is not reflected in every moment. The timelessness of a stone cathedral is realised in the moments when humans gaze upon it through slices of time. The eternity of the Ise Shrine is embodied in its process of dismantling and rebuilding. The timelessness of architecture recorded in words is found in the moments of reading. This suggests that architecture can only be considered as such in the context of its relationship with eternity, and this timeframe might not coincide with its construction or use but could be in its design, building, or abandonment as ruins. A complete Acropolis might pale in comparison to its current ruins, and the finished Sagrada Familia may not inspire as much awe as it does during its century-long construction period.

如此可见建筑的边界是流动的。即便最负盛名的建筑，也仅在某些时段名副其实，而最平凡的构筑也拥有属于自己的非凡时刻。荒原上废弃的建筑框架、沙漠中籍籍无名的水塔、隐匿于山海角落的民宅，也或曾在某个刹那接近永恒，为人类追逐地平线的旅途添上一个个微小却蕴含无限可能的标记。而我则尝试着记录下这一个个渺小又伟大的历史时刻。

Thus, the boundaries of architecture are fluid. Even the most renowned buildings are only truly architectural at certain times, while the most ordinary structures can have their extraordinary moments. The abandoned frames on the plains, the obscure water towers in deserts, the secluded houses in mountains and by the sea, may at some moment approach eternity, marking humanity’s journey towards the distant horizon with small yet infinitely potent symbols. My endeavour is to capture these small yet great historical moments.
