展览前言：

　　《光辉背后》由美国摄影教育协会（SPE）两位董事艾莉儿·山博格和斯蒂芬·查莫斯策展。展览中的七位艺术家和他们的作品选自SPE网站会员作品集。

　　美国摄影节教育协会的目标是，推动摄影作为表达创意、领悟文化、实验手段的了解，通过各种跨学科项目、活动、出版，SPE致力于通过教学、研究、批评等，促进人们对摄影这个媒介的全面了解。

　　密歇根州底特律维恩州立大学教授米丽·缇布斯拍摄风景，然后将照片打印出来，将其折叠成各种形状，并重新进行拍摄。

　　马萨诸塞州波士顿西蒙斯学院教授伊迪·布莱斯勒拍摄的是彩票销售点，他借此反思收入不平衡问题，和利用彩票收入解决州财政预算短缺的问题。

　　伊利诺伊州芝加哥洛约拉大学教授文隆三波拍摄的是中银舱体大楼，这座建筑被誉为战后日本都市生活的未来写照，同时也是乌托邦主义的象征。

　　纽约锡拉丘茨卡萨诺维学院教授萨拉·克劳斯的作品中，昆虫（面包虫、瓢虫、蟋蟀等等）成了室内装饰元素。

　　纽约锡拉丘茨大学研究生德·安吉洛·洛弗尔·威廉姆斯通过拍摄陌生的男性黑人，表现他们的男性美。

　　内布拉斯加--林肯大学研究生杨热娜通过拍摄自己相处六年的男友，表现不同性别的角色与身份。

　　The Bright Invisible was curated and organized by Ariel Shanberg and Stephen Chalmers, both Members of the Board of Directors for the Society for Photographic Education (SPE).

　　The seven artists in The Bright Invisible and their works were chosen from the Member Portfolios section of the SPE website (www.spenational.org).

　　SPE is an organization that provides and fosters an understanding of photography as a means of diverse creative expression, cultural insight, and experimental practice. Through its interdisciplinary programs, services and publications, SPE seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms through teaching and learning, scholarship, and criticism.

　　The work of Millee Tibbs, a professor at Wayne State University (Detroit, MI), involves photographic landscapes, then printing them and folding them into origami shapes before rephotographing them.

　　The photographs of Edie Bresler, a professor at Simmons College (Boston, MA), of small stores selling lottery tickets, are a meditation on income disparities and the on the use of lotteries to cover state budget shortfalls.

　　Noritaka Minami, a professor at Loyola University (Chicago, IL), photographed the Nakagin Capsule Tower, a structure envisioned as the future of urban living in postwar Japan, but in turn became a metaphor for a utopian vision that never materialized.

　　Sarah Cross, a professor at Cazenovia College (Syracuse, NY), creates photographs in which insects (mealworms, ladybugs and crickets) become decorative elements within a domestic space.

　　D’Angelo Lovell Williams, an MFA candidate at Syracuse University (Syracuse, NY), photographs black male strangers as an exploration of their masculinity and beauty.

　　Kris Sanford, a professor at Central Michigan University (Mount Pleasant, MI), creates implied queer sexual intimacy through appropriating photographs from the 1920-50s of men or women together.

　　Rana Young, an MFA candidate at University of Nebraska–Lincoln (Lincoln, NE), created staged portraits of her partner of six years to explore gender roles and identity.
