郑端祥的照片不是简单的瞬间记录，他拍摄的过程如同迷路者在黑暗中的探视与搜寻；或者说，那是一种描画，是从黑暗中拓印出现实的肌理。郑端祥在黑暗中精心地搭建起一座光之剧场，在这个午夜的剧场中，一切都隐藏在黑暗之中，事物在灯光的凝视中显像，星星点点，如同失落的记忆在渐渐浮现。我们生命中那些走失的时间躲藏隐匿在许多不起眼的事物之间，偶然之间，我们会在这些事物的导引下，与逝去的时间再度相遇。在郑端祥的新作《失忆》系列中，所有显示出来的事物都只不过是记忆复活的道具，在这里，记忆就是影像。对郑端祥来说，照片不是实时的影像，当物体在影像中消失之前，它铭刻下负片曝光的那个时刻，这就是现实消失、影像得以存在的时刻。因此，摄影不只是观看，更重要的，它是记忆，并且因这记忆制造出一个个新的凝望之客体。那在光芒的凝视中被莫名召唤回来的记忆，凝成了一张图像，如同时间容器中的一场表演，而在那些光亮之外，在黑暗的更加盛大的凝视中，世间万物因而变得神秘、伤感起来。

The photographs of Zheng Duanxiang are not a simple record of moments in time. His manner of taking photos is much the same as that of a lost person trying to find their way in the dark; or to put it another way, a depiction that reveals the flesh and bones of reality in the dark. In this darkness, Zheng Duanxiang has carefully constructed a theater of light. In this midnight theater, everything is concealed in darkness. Under the glare of light the shape of objects becomes clear; bits and pieces, like the gradual recovery of lost memories. The lost hours of our lives are hidden in a multitude of insignificant objects. On chance occasions we will be guided by these objects to once again encounter those lost hours. In Zheng Duanxiang’s new series, Amnesia, all revealed objects are nothing but props for restoring memory. Here, memories are images. To Zheng Duanxiang, photographs are not instant images. Before the object disappears into an image, it has been engraved with the moment when the negative is exposed. This is the moment when reality disappears and image comes into being. Therefore, photography is not only observation; more importantly, it is memory, and it is this memory that created many new objects presently gazing back at you. The memories that have been called back involuntarily by the staring light become images; like a show performed within a time capsule. However, in the dark, those myriad beings beyond the light are subject to increasingly close scrutiny, thereby making them mysterious and mournful.
