在《月球降落》系列中,拉尔夫致力于在地球上创造月球降落的奇幻错觉。为了实现这些空灵作品中令人惊叹的效果,他拍摄了一颗悬挂的、16英尺高的发光气球,上面印有月球的地形图,每张单帧图像都带有超现实的幽默感和光辉。乍一看,这些照片提醒我们不要轻易下结论,提醒我们影像的力量以及我们假设中的幽默。此外,它们还邀请观众停下来思考月球的永恒存在,与我们在地球上有限生命的对比这一更大的问题。
In his Moon Landing series, Ralph sets out to create the whimsical illusion of moon landings on Earth. To achieve the astonishing effects of these ethereal works, he photographs a suspended, sixteen-foot illuminated balloon printed with the moon’s topography, each single-frame image captured with surreal humor and luminosity. At face value, these photographs remind us not to jump to conclusions, of the power of imagery and the humor in our assumptions. Additionally, they invite viewers to pause and contemplate the larger question of the moon’s eternal presence in contrast to the finite nature of our own time here on Earth.
