Art historian James Fox explores how the power of images has transformed the modern world.

《图像研究》是一部桌面录屏作品，一幅罗兰·巴特抽烟的照片窗口缩小后，旋即弹出的窗口中是一段由电脑的前置摄像头所拍摄下的卷烟教学视频。与“如何去卷一根完美的香烟”同时出现在电脑桌面上的，是“如何去制作一副完美的图像，在这个窗口中，艺术家挪用了不同影像中的“教学片段”：从 Youtube上的 Photoshop教学，到哈伦・法罗基所拍摄下的《花花公子》杂志封面的制作过程，再到电影《放大》中商业影棚的拍摄场景……与这些不同的“如何去……”所对应的，是艺术家本人在作品中所做出的声明：“我，除非在万不得已的情况下，才会使用摄影机”，他的意思大概是在景观社会永远在场的现今，我们已无需生产出更多新的图像去制作一部影片。（OCAT 上海馆）

在本片中，奎氏兄弟二人俨然化身为破解16世纪欧洲绘画图像密码的研究人。该片如同一部科教片甚至教程，它将在剪下的纸片上绘制的人像和立体木偶结合起来，浑然一体地同时表现出平面和立体定格动画的特色。片中所讲解的是16世纪的一些欧洲绘画中是怎样将隐晦的图像通过透视变形转化为可以掩人耳目的另一重直观图像的：一幅画正面看上去是风景画，而从斜侧面看去则能看出另一个肖像。 　　片子在结束前举出了运用这种图像失真的绘画方法的最著名的例子——小汉斯•荷尔拜因在1533年所作的《大使肖像》。该画的中下方那个有名的“骷髅透视”同时也暗示了“荷尔拜因”这一名字的由来：“Holbein”即“Hollow bone”——“Hohl bein”之意。

堕胎是什么样子的？什么样的图像塑造了我们对堕胎的看法？这些图像从何而来？桌面论文电影《盖帝堕胎图像》通过浏览照片、青少年杂志和真实堕胎经历的文件，探讨了德国和奥地利媒体是如何阐述堕胎话题的。它从21世纪初跳转到19世纪末，探寻女权主义知识，并与虚构人物对话。但有一个问题仍然存在：为什么没有人看镜头？

The project seeks to reflect about the image, and its contemplative experience from the factors of time, color and movement. We focus our view on the human-landscape relationship, facing it in two temporal dimensions: the geological and human. This definition synthesize well the will of the project: “The landscape are layers of time condensed into an image”. We seek to merge different temporal layers into a single image, proposing two exploration lines: emphasize the ephemeral and fleeting passage of man over the territory; and invite to a leisurely contemplation showing the poetry and mystery of the movements of landscape.

克里夫·欧文饰演一名作家，其创作遇到到瓶颈，江郎才尽，而朱丽叶·比诺什饰演一名画家，同样郁郁不得志，两个人在一所学校里相逢了。分别教写作与绘画的他们展开了一场关于文字和图画谁更有力量的辩论之战。然而在针锋相对的背后，一段不同寻常的恋情也正在酝酿。

"Four days spent in a studio working on a centerfold photo for Playboy magazine provided the subject matter for my film. The magazine itself deals with culture, cars, a certain lifestyle. Maybe all those trappings are only there to cover up the naked woman. Maybe it's like with a paper-doll. The naked woman in the middle is a sun around which a system revolves: of culture, of business, of living! (It's impossible to either look or film into the sun.) One can well imagine that the people creating such a picture, the gravity of which is supposed to hold all that, perform their task with as much care, seriousness, and responsibility as if they were splitting uranium. 　　This film, An Image, is part of a series I've been working on since 1979. The television station that commissioned it assumes in these cases that I'm making a film that is critical of its subject matter, and the owner or manager of the thing that's being filmed assumes that my film is an advertisement for them. I try to do neither. Nor do I want to do something in between, but beyond both." 　　--Harun Farocki, Zelluloid, no. 27, Fall 1988
