alternative photography by Simone Boon
The concept of mimesis generated endless inspiration to this series of photography and digital imaging. Mimesis is a philosophical term referring to the transformation of natural worlds into symbolic worlds. Within this paradigm there is no directness. Things are always reflected upon. Facts are always interpreted facts, carrying their inner and outer horizon (perspective) with them.
Symbols, words and images, are going back and forth, between subject and object and subject and subject and even between worlds. We see only the outside of this, but what happens at the inside of this mimetic process? And so a photo shooting was held in the depth of the night, the camera used, almost like a paintbrush, turning flowers into metaphors.

在這一系列攝影與數碼圖像中，無盡的 靈感來自 「 模擬 」 ( Mimesis) 的 概念。「 模擬 」 是一個哲學 名詞， 提到由「自然世界」到「象徵世界」之轉化。在古典範例中事物總不是直接地存在，而是由「反映」所構成。事實總是從「內在」和「外在」兩種視野或角度被詮釋著而成為一種「被詮釋的事實」。符號、文字和圖像都反覆地在主體與客體或客體與客體或於不同世界 ( 「自然世界」或「象徵世界」 ) 中遊走。我們往往只能看到事物的外在，但其於「 模擬 」之轉化過程中所展現的內在又是怎樣的？在深邃的夜按動 相機的快門，攝影就如揮動畫筆，將花朵轉化為一種隱喻。 ( 此中文版本只為翻譯，一切以英文原文為準 )
