纽约摄影师Matus Bence从今年9月份开始，建立了一个名为“New York Sleep Style”的博客，穿梭于时尚之都纽约的街道、公园、地铁站，捕捉在你匆匆而行时，压根不愿多看一眼的睡着的流浪汉。对于他的拍摄目的，我们多少可以从博客说明”Art of real street style and life”中找到答案。

在美国艺术家Andrea Zittel看来，生活本身就是一项永不停止的行为艺术。

Zittel的部分创作的雏形是家中完成的，而成品则由她个人品牌 A-Z Administration Services 制造。在纽约居住数年后（A-Z East），Zittel 搬到了位于约书亚树国家公园附近的宽敞居所（A-Z West）。她将生活内容作为其创作的主题：日常的活动，诸如烹饪、打扫，甚至于决定每天穿什么衣服对她来说都是一种探索和实验。作品通常都是可搬动的装置，有的是雕塑，有的是建筑。她的创作具有清晰的条理，通常是在探讨人类生活中的自然本性以及社会、心理需求，体现着对自由、个人主义、移动性以及舒适感的追求。“辩证空间”这个项目贯穿了Zittel十五年的艺术生涯，是她创作深度和广度的集中体现。惠特尼博物馆展出了辩证空间系列的部分作品，Altria空间则展示了另一组Zittel 在约书亚树居所创作的作品，一排可自由移动的居住单元——“旅行驿站”（Wagon Stations）。在这里，作为一位生活艺术家，Zittel与我们分享了她的创作巧思。

For American Artist Andrea Zittel, Who is the subject of two major exhibition in New York, life is an ongoing work of performance art.

Many of these pieces began their lives in Zittel’s home, produced under her pseudo trademark, A-Z Administration Services. After living in New York for several years (A-Z East), Zittel moved out to California to a sprawling property in Joshua Tree (A-Z West). Her life and work are rigorously linked: daily rituals like cooking, cleaning and deciding what to wear become fodder for contem- plation and experimentation. She creates highly systematic, often portable do- mestic objects and structures that are part sculpture, part architecture. These test cases explore ideas about human nature and the social and psychological demands of everyday life – addressing notions of freedom, individualism, mo- bility and comfort. While Critical Space spans Zittel’s 15-yearcareer, revealing the depth and breadth of her practice, the Whitney Museum’s concurrent show displays several pieces of just one series. Small Liberties, on view at the Whitney’s Altria space, presents a line-up of “Wagon Stations,” customized mobile units created at the Joshua Tree site. Here, Zittel provides some insights into her thought-provoking practice as a living artist. (interview source)

Traces系列是女性身体和自然环境影像的交错并置，模糊了时间、地点和身份，唯独留下了生活中微妙的痕迹：透明窗帘、紧身衣、在上空盘旋的萤火虫……灰调和局部特写营造出一种亲密的、隐秘的、稍纵即逝的、脆弱的、偷窥似的氛围。Aaron McElroy是一位纽约摄影师，出生于1978年。

Aaron McElroy is an American photographer living and working in New York, NY. The photographic series Traces juxtaposes visions of the female body and nature, shapes caught in the act of living. There are no indications of place, time or identity, the focus is on subtle traces left by life: the transparency of a curtain, laddered tights, and fireflies hovering over a field. The subdued tones of black and white and the closed field of vision give an intimate feel to the series, an almost voyeuristic sensation that grips the viewers, drawing them into the intriguing atmosphere of secret interiors and exteriors. Emerging from the photographs comes grayish grit. The photographs come into recognition; appealing, seductive half-dreams, yet they retain all the transitory vulnerability of humans dazed in their reality.
