●內容簡介——

來自當今知名的攝影師之一的作品是他迄今為止最個人化的作品--對他參加了七年的神學院寄宿學校的親密寫照，這深深影響了他的藝術實踐。

11歲時，Michael Kenna在Upholland的聖約瑟夫學院的臨時暗房裏沖洗了他的第一卷黑白膠片，他參加的神學院的想法是成為一名天主教牧師。肯納在離開神學院後放棄了他的使命，但他在那裏的經歷幾十年來一直影響着他的工作。這些華麗的、沉思的照片是肯納在21世紀初回訪這所現已關閉的學校時拍攝的。所有使Kenna的作品如此吸引人和令人回味的品質都在這裏--豐富細微的色調、對比研究、他將普通事物轉化為非凡事物的能力。但肯納也在重新審視一種可能正在消失的生活方式--不僅是英國寄宿學校有時無情的紀律，而且還有實踐的陰鬱之美。

From one of the most acclaimed photographers working today comes his most personal work to date—an intimate portrait of the seminary boarding school he attended for seven years and which deeply informed his artistic practice.

At age eleven, Michael Kenna developed his first roll of black and white film in a makeshift darkroom at St. Joseph’s College, Upholland, the seminary he attended with the idea of becoming a Catholic priest. Kenna abandoned his religious calling after leaving the seminary, but his experiences there have continued to inform his work for decades. These gorgeous, meditative photographs were taken when Kenna returned to visit the now-shuttered school in the early 2000s. All of the qualities that make Kenna’s work so appealing and evocative are here—richly nuanced tones, studies in contrast, his ability to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary. But Kenna is also revisiting a way of life that may be disappearing—not only the, at times, ruthless discipline of the British boarding school, but also the somber beauty of religious practice.
