簡介/Synopsis

雖然科隆的新市場，就像萊納‧盧騰貝克在「擋住錄影畫面一部分的物體」這部片中描繪的那樣嘈雜繁忙，這部攝於1972／1974年的錄影片卻有著冥思式的弦外之音。觀眾在片中看到急急忙忙趕路的人，或者聽到大城市中交通的噪音。在這種喧囂忙碌的環境中，突然出現了一個小而美的「寧靜島」：由一支架撐住的黑色的區域，就再這喧鬧與雜亂之中，換句話說：「外面是人車鼎沸，裡面則是絕對的、靜止的、寧靜。」
這片黑色被當作場景畫面的遮蔽物，會成為對未來視覺經驗有正面影響經驗的實證嗎？

Despite the clamorous bustle on Cologne’s Neumarkt, as it is captured by Reiner Ruthenbeck’s “Objekt zur teilweisen Verdeckung einer Videoszene”(Object for partially concealing a Video Scene) this 1972/1974 video does have meditative undertones. The viewer observes people rushing by or hears the city traffic. In the middle of this noisy activity suddenly a small, but perfectly formed “oasis of calm”: a black panel, positioned on top of an exhibition plinth and placed into the centre of the hurly-burly, or, in other words: “outside the hectic activity and inside the absolute, the unmoving, the calm.”
Will the black, as the concealment of a pictorial scene, prove to be an experience with the potential to have a positive effect on future viewing experiences?
