The winner of the photography industry "Oscar": I treasured the "ten years" of a

The 52nd World News Photography Competition (Dutch) winning works

"A tree by the West Lake"

It is the tenth tree beside the West Lake's broken bridge, a peach tree without a number and no "name".

It is the highest shot tree in the West Lake. From 2004 to 2013, Fu Yongjun took a lot of photos for it. Every time it pumps and sprouts, every flower blooming, and every time the leaves withered, it remains in the camera.

In 2009, Fu Yongjun selected nine from thousands of photos. This group of nine groups of "One Tree by the West Lake" finally won the second prize of the 52nd World News Photography Competition (Hea Tournament). The sugar and water tablets of the West Lake flooded on the Internet. Although the story of this tree is bland but timeless. "West Lake is like a big stage. This tree flower blooms like the curtain of the stage. It is constantly changing. The talents of various activities under the tree are the protagonists." Its charm comes from the good eyesight of the photographer. Persistence of planting photography.

World News Photography Competition (Dutch)

The World Press Photography Competition ("WPP", "WPP", commonly referred to as "Dutch"), is considered the most authoritative event in the international professional news photography competition. Since the first World News Photography Competition was held in 1957, 65 sessions have been held in 2022.

This is the first time that the "Hezai" has given the award to the work that reflects the natural and harmonious nature of the Chinese city, and a comment that a judge gives this group of photos is "the unity of heaven and man". The unity of heaven and man is a state of great respect for traditional Chinese culture. This is undoubtedly a prize for adding points for the West Lake's application for the legacy of the West Lake.

If you are used to the high stimulus brought by movies, TV series, short videos, etc., you will feel that the real life time experience has a boring feeling. Czech novelist Milan Kundera once asked: "Why did the slowly and disappeared?" And the artist carefully selected the moment of change and made eternal presentation. So when we face this work, it feels like we are in the gap of time, and we can quietly appreciate it without time restrictions.

Fu Yaojun

Photographer, curator, teacher of Zhejiang Media College, director of the Art Museum of Zhejiang Media College, director of the Chinese Photographers Association, and co -founder of Aurora Visual Joint. The work won the World News Photography Competition (Dutch) Award in 2009 and 2013; won the Gold Award of the International News Photography Competition (Huasai) three times, and won the China News Award and the 20th National Photography Art Exhibition in 2001. Gold medal; 2007 won the Golden Photography Gold Award.

Fu Yongjun explores the existence of life and the significance of life in a very ordinary and life -oriented way. His shooting uses the minimum shooting skills, without any image, style or deliberate decoration. This is itself anti -epic style, but if you consider the continuity of the work and the consistency of the concept, it suddenly has an epic. Like a temperament. This method will not only make people feel indifferent, but also move. The indifferent feeling comes from the continuous repeatedness, no modification, and no personal emotion in the work -although the picture is different every day, its essence is the same. On the other hand, the artist's persistence is moving. In almost ten years, Fu Yongjun has been insisting on completing this work that is continuously extended in time dimension, although we cannot speculate that his mentality in the creative process And the expectations of the final result of the work, but this continued work seems to be more impressive than the shocking work in the space.

Nowadays, new things are constantly replacing the old things. Under the uninterrupted stimulation of the information, people seem to have suffered from different degrees of forgetfulness. Fu Yongjun's "A tree by the West Lake" knocks on the "forgetfulness" of today's society through a compulsive memory, with continuity as a tree statue.

In September 2013, Fu Yongjun came to the old place and found that the tree he had filmed for ten years was gone.
