去年獲獎者Olivia Arthur的一些相關描述

2007 Inge Morath Award評選結果剛剛宣佈，來自倫敦的女攝影師Olivia Arthur以作品《The Middle Distance（中間距離）》脫穎而出。

其餘進入決賽的女攝影師包括：伊朗的Newsha Tavakolian，作品《Iran: Girl Power!》；阿塞拜疆的Rena Effendi，入圍作品《Pipedreams: A Chronicle of Lives Along the Pipeline in Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey》。

Olivia Arthur 2002年畢業于牛津大學數學系，隨後完成了倫敦印刷學院的攝影碩士課程。2003至2006年間，作爲一名自由攝影師，她在新德里爲報紙以及個人作品進行拍攝。在印度拍攝婦女時，Olivia Arthur萌生了進行《The Middle Distance（中間距離）》的拍攝計劃。

“最初我並沒有想要開始以女性爲主題進行拍攝，不過，當我在印度完成其他拍攝專案的過程中，逐漸感到自己在進入她們的生活，並産生拍攝的欲望，”Arthur說道，“我發現自己越來越想要更深入拍攝、瞭解她們。不過，西方社會一貫視印度爲文明落後的地區，因此對我拍攝的印度婦女反抗壓迫，爭取自身權利的故事不屑一顧。與此同時，我也意識到印度社會對歐洲婦女地位的誤解。”

Inge Morath Award的5000美元獎金將用於支援Arthur在歐亞交界五個國家中婦女生活的拍攝專案，這五個國家包括：土耳其，格魯吉亞，阿塞拜疆，哈薩克斯坦以及俄羅斯。

有關Inge Morath Award：Inge Morath基金會設立的攝影獎項，獲獎者限定于30歲以下的女性攝影師；該獎項爲紀念著名瑪格南攝影師Maroth，獲獎者則由瑪格南成員在年會上評選確認。

關於《《The Middle Distance（中間距離）》》

“中間距離，是西方社會與傳統東方社會的結合之處，兩個文明交融以及衝突的所在。

在東方、西方的文化、政治碰撞之中，女性在社會中的地位經常被視爲一種衡量的尺度。當兩個世界相互指責的時候，對女性的誤解也隨之産生。我希望，能夠通過攝影在兩個世界間找到一個平衡點，讓雙方更容易理解和直視。”
