奥雷莉·克里塞蒂格，生于1992年，瑞士摄影师、视觉艺术家。她将摄影作为一种工具，探讨在充斥着数码产品的世界里，人类记忆所发生的变化。她创作的电影和数码摄影作品，反映出人们持续地使用机器设备进行记录，特别是在公共场所和文化场馆内。克里塞蒂格在瑞士洛桑获得艺术史和电影研究的学士学位，随后前往纽约电影学院完成了8周的摄影进修课程。2018年获得伦敦艺术大学摄影硕士研究生学位。

《这属于每一个人，请欣赏风景》通过数码摄影描绘了自然景观的变迁。支离破碎的块面构成了一幅虚构的抽象全景图。每一种地貌代表了数码世界和真实世界里一种时间和空间的变体。这些从谷歌地球获取、拼凑起来的景象，旨在表达在人造工具的干预下一个地点如何呈现出多种样貌。高空景观拍摄设备以数码格式捕捉下这些变形，而这些变形的出现正归因于人类活动所造成的地球变暖。这两种变化都表现了人类活动对自然景观所造成的不可预测的更改。

独立映像：在你的艺术生涯中有哪些重要的节点？
奥雷莉·克里塞蒂格：这比较难说，因为我本来希望取得硕士学位，能从从大学那里得到一些支持，但现在必须自己寻找进入艺术世界的道路。完成硕士学习后，获得了一个在香港的艺术驻留机会。但因为那里情况不稳定，我必须离开。2020年我参加了一个在东京举行的驻留项目。但我的展览因为疫情不得不取消，必须立即返回瑞士。这两个驻留对我的艺术生涯和个人生活都是很重要的，但也是两件没有善终的事。不管怎么说，生活总是充满喜和忧，我学到了这点，尽管出乎意料、感到不公平和郁闷，但希望总是有的。

独立映像：面对当前的状况，你认为艺术能为我们的世界、社区或者家庭做些什么？
奥雷莉·克里塞蒂格：艺术，无论在什么样的状况和语境里，总是给人以支持。我认为，艺术具有疗愈的功效，给人们安慰、交流、支持，让人聚集起来。艺术让你笑或者哭，让你感到柔软脆弱，也让你充满力量。艺术能够跨越性别、国籍、年龄、种族、学识，成为一种工具，为己所用。我始终认为，艺术不仅只是一幅挂在墙上的画，它能够为人带来力量，让人变得强大。

独立映像：2021年新的一年，你在艺术创作上有什么新计划吗？
奥雷莉·克里塞蒂格：在亚洲我已经获得了两个艺术驻留的机会，希望今年得以成行。当前状况复杂，但总能找到一条出路。我将继续目前的项目，并且去寻找不同的艺术表达方式。在现在的这种情况下，我相信自己应该寻找黑暗中的光明。2021年，我充满期盼，也将努力前行。

Independent & Image Art Space: What are the critical milestones in your art career?
Aurelie Crisetig: It is difficult to say… Because I was expecting so much of my master’s degree but had little support from my university, I had to find my own way into the art world. I got accepted into an art residency in Hong Kong right after I finished my degree, but I had to leave the city due to the unstable situation there. In 2020, I went to an art residency in Tokyo, but my exhibition was cancelled due to the pandemic and I had to go back to Switzerland immediately. Both my art residencies were crucially beneficial for my professional and personal life, but also represent the greatest misfortunes of my emerging career. However, there is always good and bad in life, and I have learned that, even though it is unplanned, unfair and frustrating, there is always hope.

Independent & Image Art Space: In front of the current pandemic, how do you think art can do for our world, community or family?
Aurelie Crisetig: Art, in any situations or contexts, has always supported people. I think art has a healing power dedicated to comfort, communicate, support, assemble people. It can make you laugh or cry, it can make you feel vulnerable or powerful. Art has the ability to transcends gender, nationality, age, race, knowledge to become a tool we can all use for our own good. I believe art is more than just a painting on a wall; it is an empowering entity that strengthens us all.

Independent & Image Art Space: In the new year of 2021, do you have any plan for your art creation?
Aurelie Crisetig: I have been accepted into two art residencies in Asia, so I hope I could go there at some point this year. It is a complicated situation for everyone, but there’s always an alternative path to find. I will continue working on my ongoing projects and try to find different ways of expressing myself through art. In such a complex time like this, I believe we should find our own light in the darkness. For 2021, I’ll look for it and keep working hard.
