(b.1960, Czech)
简·派瑞比尼是一位捷克摄影师，艺术家和教育家。他擅长于风景摄影和大地艺术。在他的摄影作品中，他将多重曝光与动态模糊相结合作为创作方法。这不仅运用了运动原理，分色或是单色颜料轨迹，而且还使用了光绘，可以“可视化”选定的自然地点或由人树立的神圣石头（巨石）的能量。他是欧洲认证摄影师（QEP）。
Jan Pohribný is a Czech photographer, artist and educator. He specializes in landscape photography and land-art. In his photographic work he uses multiple exposures in combination with motion blur as creative methods. It combines not only the principles of movement, distinctive color traces or monochromatic solutions, but also uses light paintings, which “visualize” the energies of selected natural sites or sacred stones erected by human hands - megaliths. He is a QEP (Qualified European Photographer).
简·派瑞比尼出生在捷克布拉格，他创作的摄影作品探讨人与自然之间的关系。他出生于一个与艺术联系紧密的家庭中，他的父亲是一位艺术评论家，母亲是一位插画师、画家，偶尔从事摄影活动，他们是简·派瑞比尼艺术灵感的来源。他的摄影之路开始于青少年时期，他说：“我在威尼斯圣马可大教堂发现一台柯达Baby Brownie相机，那是我的第一台相机，我将之视作上帝的礼物。一些游客把它落在了教堂座椅上，我偶然间发现了它。”虽然派瑞比尼将其母亲视作他的第一位老师，他的正式教育开始于1976年，那是布拉格一所教授平面艺术的中学。1980年，他从那里毕业，1981-1986年，派瑞比尼是艺术学院电影电视制作系摄影专业的学生；从1985年到1986年，他在芬兰的赫尔辛基美术学院参加了一个六个月的学习项目。从1986年开始，他开始成为一名自由摄影师，并经常做设计和插画摄影工作。派瑞比尼加入了许多组织。他同时是专业摄影师联合会和布拉格摄影家协会的成员，同时，他也是ZnDtician文化革新学会的创始人和主席。此外，他也是创意摄影组织西里西亚大学的客座教授。1984年至今，派瑞比尼已经举办了众多个人展览，他的作品也被许多收藏机构收藏。
Jan Pohribny, a Czech photographer born in Prague, has composed several series of photographs dealing with the interrelationship of nature and man. Born into a family closely associated with the arts, he drew his inspiration from his father, an art critic, and his mother, a book illustrator, painter, and occasional photographer. Beginning his career as a teenager Pohribny states, “I discovered my first camera- a Kodak Baby Brownie- in San Marco Cathedral in Venice, Italy. I say I received it as a gift from God. Some tourists left the camera on a Church chair, which I incidentally happened to spot.” While Pohribny credits his mother as his first teacher, his first formal training was in 1976 at a secondary school for Graphic Arts in Praque. He attended school there until 1980. In 1981-1986, Pohribny was a part of the Film and TV faculty of the Academy of Fine Arts- the Department of Artistic Photography; and from 1985-1986 he enrolled in a six month study program at the University of Fine Arts in Helsinki, Finland. Since 1986, he has worked as a free-lance photographer/artist and often works in the field of design and illustration photography. Pohribny participates in a number of organizations. He is a member of both the Professional Photographers Association and the Prague House of Photography. As of 1995, he is a founding member and president of the Society for ZnDtician Culture Renovation. In addition, he works as a part-time professor at Silesian University, Institute of Creative Photography. Pohribny has had a number of individual exhibitions from1984 to the present day, and he has contributed to some collections as well.
从1983年开始，派瑞比尼创作了几个系列的摄影作品，旨在捕捉特定时刻的氛围、自然物体或是人类存在的命运。在他最初的两个系列《颜料》和《飞行物》中，他向观者展示了他的基本原理和方法。他的摄影作品通过对更高的精神秩序的认识重新将自然和人类联系在一起。派瑞比尼通过强调颜色和风景，找到了能够清晰传达他的信息的方法。
在他的第一个系列《颜料》（Pigments，1983-84年）中，派瑞比尼与自然互动，以强调其外形和轮廓，并标记自我在环境中的位置。这些照片将自然与人的活动并置在一起，使人联想起古代，产生一种内在的魔力。在《 签字（1983）》中，派瑞比尼飞溅的紫色墨水让人回想起古代洞穴壁画。他将这幅作品命名为《签字》，提醒人们注意古人在自然界留下的痕迹，并把注意力集中在嵌入岩石表面的三角形上。三角形是派瑞比尼作品中反复出现的符号和常见的精神主题。在印度教中，能量上的三位一体是湿婆神，毗湿奴和梵天；在基督教中是圣父，圣子和圣灵；在犹太教中是卡图（Kathu），乔奇曼（Chochman）和比娜（Binah）；在古埃及中是拉(Ra)，奥西里斯(Osiris)和荷鲁斯(Horus)，这些例子凸显了神圣三角形在精神世界中的关键重要性。这三种神圣的创造性元素形成了通向内部精神世界的正确路径。派瑞比尼对冥想和脉轮系统的兴趣表明，三角形的重要性在于身体，思想和精神的美好。因此，他将三角形与远古形象并置在一起，就像古代的土地崇拜者一样，传达了一种渴望恢复与大自然精神联系的愿望。此外，在派瑞比尼的作品中，圆形和三角形一样，也是一个重要的形状。圆既没有起点也没有终点。它是开始的数字象征，一是合而为一。圆圈永无止境，代表着无数的思想、信念和事件。通常，圆圈被视为永恒的象征，是尘世间和精神上万物相互依存的象征，例如生命的循环。
派瑞比尼的下一个系列《飞行物》（Fliers，1985-86年）强调了空间，运动和人类生命的短暂品质。派瑞比尼拍摄了在空中的羽毛、苹果或气球的照片，捕捉了这些物体在人类无法到达的空间中的短暂瞬间。看着这些摄影作品，我们被迫将自己想象成派瑞比尼的飞行物体，成为一个充满魔力的存在。但是，在这个过程中，我们也认识到这只是一个转瞬即逝的时刻，这些物体的飞行就像人类的生命存在一样，都是有限制的。高高地飞过无尽的水面，这些物体很快就会被即将来临的海浪吞噬并冲走。在无人的舞台上，这些物体在瞬间中阻碍了运动，并传达了人类不可避免的命运的隐喻。
派瑞比尼最初的两个系列是关于美的呈现，而接下来的两个系列《新石器时代》（1988-2001）和《天使》（1999-2001）系列则是他最值得称赞的作品。在这些作品中，我们看到了派瑞比尼渴望获得大自然中的精神和能量的愿望。他赋予原本不可见的东西以形式，他所使用的色彩将他的想法带到了现在，好像在说，人类可以在自然界中重拾根源。
这样，派瑞比尼的照片使我们对现实提出了质疑，迫使我们反思自己的想法。它们使我们重新思考超自然现象以及它如何适应我们的生活，他们坚持强调自然及其能量，以便在世界上找到自己的位置。 派瑞比尼在他的精神世界中为我们提供了一个位置，并邀请我们加入，让以前未知的世界显形。
“我的大量作品专门致力于描绘史前史的特殊部分，我们称其为巨石时代。自然物体，如伫立在自然环境中的巨石和它们古老的纪念性美景，令我着迷，它们有自己的美丽。我感到并且仍然这样觉得，我们正在失去与大自然的联系，但这种联系在以前很普遍。我开始对自然和古代文化做出自己的诠释，并希望我的图像成为我们和现在已经失去的和谐之间的纽带。”
派瑞比尼通过使用这些巨大的石头，增添了古代的神秘感，并提醒我们它们和自然之间的融合。然而，派瑞比尼布置并利用灯光点亮了这些巨石，以便传达这些巨石本身并不是最主要的，最主要的是，这些在画面中央竖立的巨石让人联想到的人类形态。派瑞比尼的巨石在自然元素和人文元素之间建立了关联，唤起人们对自然与人类融合的渴望。
通过结合这些巨大的石头，Pohribny增添了古代人神秘的过去的感觉，并提醒我们它们与大自然的融合。但是，Pohribny定位并照亮了巨石，以便传达巨石本身不是主题。取而代之的是，照片中央垂直竖立的一块巨石让人联想到人类的形态。 Pohribny的巨石在自然元素和人文元素之间建立了相似之处，唤起了人们对自然与人融合的渴望。
Since 1983, Pohribny has worked on several series of photographs all aimed at capturing the aura of a given moment, a natural object, or the fate of human existence. In his first two series, Pigments and Fliers, he introduces his viewers to his basic principles and methods. His photographs attempt to reconnect nature and man through the awareness of a higher spiritual order. Emphasizing color and landscape, Pohribny finds the means to clearly convey his message.
In his first series, Pigments (1983-84), Pohribny interacts with nature in order to accent its shapes and contours and also to mark his place in the environment. Juxtaposing human interaction and nature, the photographs recall an ancient time and have an inherent magical quality. In Sign (1983), Pohribny’s purple ink splatter recalls ancient cave paintings. Titling the work Sign, he draws attention to the fact that the ancients left marks of themselves within nature and elicits focus on the triangle that emerges scratched into the rocky surface. The triangle is a recurring symbol in Pohribny’s work and a universal spiritual theme. In Hinduism the triune of Energies is known as Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma; In Christianity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; in Judaism: Kathu, Chochman, and Binah; and in ancient Egypt: Ra, Osiris, and Horus. These examples highlight the pivotal importance of the sacred Triangle in spiritual thought. The interaction of these three divine creative principles characterizes proper path to form the inner spiritual matrix. Pohribny’s interest in meditation and the chakra system makes it evident that the triangle’s importance lies in the virtues of body, mind, and spirit. Thus, juxtaposing the triangle with an image reminiscent of the ancients, he communicates a desire to regain a spiritual relationship with nature similar to the ancient admiration of the land. Also, the circle is an important shape and occurs, like the triangle, throughout Pohribny’s works. The circle has neither beginning nor end. It is the figure symbolic of the number one; one is in all and all is in one. Never ending, the circle represents an innumerable amount of ideas, beliefs, and occurrences. Most often the circle is seen as emblematic of eternity and the interdependency of all things earthly and spiritually, e.g. the circle of life.
Pohribny’s next series, Fliers (1985-86), emphasizes space, movement, and the ephemeral quality of human life. Photographing a feather, an apple, or a balloon in mid-air, Pohribny captures the fleeting moment that these objects are arrested in the spaces that humans cannot occupy. Looking at these photographs, we are compelled to imagine themselves as Pohribny’s flying objects, enticing us into a magical existence. However, along this journey we also recognize that this is a frozen moment that will soon end. Just as human existence is time-limited, so too is the flight of these objects. Flying high above an endless expanse of water, the objects will soon be swallowed by the impending waves, and washed away. Within the non-human arena, these objects momentarily defy movement and communicate a metaphor for the inevitable human fate.
While Pohribny’s first two series are beautiful manifestations, the two series, The New Stone Age (1988-2001) and Angels (1999-2001), stand out as his most commendable works. In these photographs, we see Pohribny’s desire to clothe the spirit and energy within nature. His photographs give form to things that are otherwise not visible. The colors he uses bring his ideas into the present day, as if to say, this is possible, man can regain his roots within nature. In that, Pohribny’s photographs make us question reality in a way that forces us to think about our own perceptions. They make us rethink the supernatural and how it fits into our lives. They insist on emphasizing nature and its energy in order to find our own place in the world. Pohribny offers us a place within his spiritual landscape. He invites us in. And he gives form to a world previously unknown.
“A large collection of my work is specifically dedicated to a special part of our prehistory- what we know as the age of megaliths. Natural objects like huge stones standing in the landscapes and their ancient monumental beauty fascinate me a lot. They have a beauty of their own. I felt and still feel that we are loosing the connection with nature, that which was prevalent some time ago. I started making my own interpretations of nature and ancient culture, and wanted my images to be a link to the harmony that we now have lost.”
By incorporating these giant stones, Pohribny adds a sense of the mysterious past of the ancients and reminds us of their integration with nature. However, Pohribny positions and illuminates the megalith in order to communicate that the megalith itself is not the subject. Instead, the one megalith vertically standing tall in the center of the photograph is reminiscent of the human form. Drawing a parallel between a natural element and the human element, Pohribny’s megalith evokes the desire for the integration of nature and man.
