漫影档案(Drifting Shadow Archive)




This series explores a style of “retro-printed fantasy narrative.” It features flat silhouette compositions in high-contrast black and white, accented with muted vintage tones like ochre, dusty orange, and violet-grey. The imagery evokes a strong sense of time and stillness, structured with central or diagonal layouts that reflect early book illustration and printmaking aesthetics.
Figures often appear in back view or silhouette, creating symbolic, anonymous presences and encouraging a quiet, contemplative viewing experience. Natural and man-made elements intertwine, forming a kind of “digital natural constructivism”—a synthetic yet poetic reconstruction of memory, history, and landscape.
Blending retro futurism, visual archive aesthetics, and low-fidelity print textures, this style bridges nostalgic media with contemporary narrative image-making.
这组作品的风格可归纳为“复古印刷感的幻想叙事”。在形式上采用平面化剪影构成与高反差黑白调性,辅以极少量的复古色彩点缀(如赭黄、灰橙与紫灰),色彩语言克制而精准,形成强烈的时间感与视觉沉静。画面结构常以中心或对角线方式组织主体,强调构图的秩序与留白的张力,带有明显的版画构成意识,呼应19世纪图书插画与早期连环画的排版逻辑。内容层面构建出一个介于现实与虚构之间的“视觉记忆剧场”。图像中的人物多以背影、侧影或剪影方式出现,强化匿名性与象征性,同时弱化情绪张扬,营造出一种“静态叙事”的观看方式。此外,图像出现的自然元素与人造结构彼此交织,体现出一种“数码自然构成主义”特质,即通过高度人工化的构图策略去模拟、重构自然与历史记忆的图像形态。整体风格融合了复古未来、视觉档案美学与低印刷质感,既有强烈的手工感,又不失数字时代的叙事结构意识,是一种将“怀旧媒体气质”与“当代图像思维”结合的独特视觉表达。
