这几年常给朋友的出版物或者展览作序写前言，倒也是并不推辞；权作为和朋友的一次有的放矢的交谈。

老姚这47幅摄影作品的题材出自于所谓的“房前屋后”，没有“主义”没有“宣言”，更加没有“愤世嫉俗”和“旷世情怀”。我所看到的只有沉静！在此没有“读到”只有“看见”。8 L3 a9 r* k& X* D* Q' X8 T* N

在老姚这次刊出的作品里抽掉了人们习以为常的文字性叙述，留下的只是视觉的发现，在此我并不愿意用“视觉的思考”这四个字来搅了这份沉静。没有了咿咿呀呀自然沉静了下来。它们甚至于远离了存在的物理性经验，于是呈现了真实的陌生感；这是“有意味的形式”。是发现存在的那个存在的基本状态。老姚其实很沉静，了解老姚的人都知道老姚淡定。所以老姚这次刊出的作品，至于老姚是何其地真实。何其可贵！2 T6 L0 x& Q1 ?3 V; Z8 H

Mr. Yao’s most recent exhibition of his 47photographs embody the theme which can best be described as “a look into dailylife”. In them, there are no preaching doctrines or bold declarations, nor isthere any cynicism or profound consideration. The single unmistakable issentiment here is tranquility! There is no need to further read into any of it,as the obvious is in plain sight.

In this installation of Mr. Yao’s work, hehas discarded the words and descriptors on which we now rely so heavily, andleaves us to discover this exploration of the visual. It is a purely visualexperience, there is no “visual thinking” necessary. The elimination of allsuch noise naturally provides a sense of calm serenity, transcending existence,and attaining an unfamiliar realism: this is a “meaningful form”. It is thebasis of the discovery of our existence. All of us who know Mr. Yao appreciatehis calmness and collectedness. These works truly reveal the raw nature of theartist himself, how priceless!

Perhaps you will then see throughall the fogginess and commotion to reveal the purity of absolute peacefulness.Thank you, Mr. Yao!0 e9 S5 l; F% {, {3 N% G
