　　展览前言：

　　以爱、关系、社会群体及博爱为展览策划的探索目标，本展览侧重在那些我们知之甚少甚至未曾了解的人们的方方面面。同时，这次展览也揭开了人与人之间交错关系的形成和深化，容易与观者之间形成共鸣。

　　摄影师路易斯·德尔加多、安·雅斯特拉布和艾琳·史密森都以不同的方式来展开各自的创作，却不约而同地对同一个主题进行了进一步的探索。

　　艾琳偶然找到了一些旧照片，对这些照片进行二次创作。她从旧照片中探寻信息，尝试复制当时的拍摄场景，创作出新的作品展现给观众。尽管事实上，无论是她还是观者都无从知晓旧照片中的人物，这也让我们开始陷入了各自的思考，看着旧照片来获取些许信息和扩散思维。

　　安·雅斯特拉布的作品是本展览中人物关系最亲密的。该作品集横跨过去与现在，以一种强烈的个人张力感配以象征性的自然场景使观者为之震撼。将作品集视为一个整体，我们被一幅接一幅的作品所吸引，陷入其中，并见证了最亲密的爱情。

　　路易斯·德尔加多收藏了其他国家摄影师的经典作品，并以敏锐和精心策划的方法呈现给大家，让观者好像穿越到了作品中的世界，穿梭于不同的时空。这些旧照片所呈现的人物或许是我们未曾了解的，但他们仍然会跟每一位观者紧紧联系起来。同在一个地球村，无论是否认识照片上的人们，我们大家之间冥冥中都有着一丝联系。展览《那些我未曾了解的人》打开了一扇门，让观者也能参与到他们过去和现在的生活中。　　　

　　In a curatorial exploration of love, connection, community and universal love, this exhibition focuses on the lesser known and considered aspects of the unknown person. It hints at our relationship with our fellow man, and these relationships form and deepen. The photographs become personal.

　　Luis Delgado, Ann Jastrab and Aline Smithson approach their projects differently, but a theme reveals itself upon closer examination.

　　Aline has found and re-imagined photographs by taking them into the present moment. She has re-photographed the photograph. She resubmitted the person for our examination. Despite the fact that neither she nor the audience knows anything about the person featured in her photographs, we are drawn to a sense of the personal. We learn and expand by witnessing.

　　Ann Jastrab’s portfolio, perhaps the most intimate of the exhibition, draws on the past and present to shake the viewer with a sense of intense personal tension, paired with symbolic natural scenes. Taken as a whole we are drawn from image to image and in so traveling, we witness intimate love and it becomes strikingly personal.

　　Luis Delgado collects and presents vernacular ephemera with a keen and finely curated approach.The audience is drawn into and then transported to another place and time. These photographs may not depict people we know, but they becomes personal none the less. We are left with a sense of connection and universal community, no matter whether or not the photographs are of people we know, or in this case do not.

　　People I Don’t Know slides open a door so the audience can participate in past and present lives, opening a portal to the present and personal.
