報導
2011年的中國平遙國際攝影大展，我們將學術展的主題定為“返回原點”，意涵在於重新發現攝影以及重新發現我們對於攝影的熱情。2012年，我們選擇以“回歸·超越”作為大展的主題，正是對2011年“返回原點”的延續與演進，並尋找出新的意義。
從攝影術誕生以來至今，攝影從未像今天這般多義。一百多年來，有關攝影的各種創作觀念、理論引領攝影人以螺旋式上升的方式前進，到了今天，我們回望過去時，所看到的，也許只是了歷史遺留下的迷霧，而多變的現實又加重了其迷惑性，這正是我們將今年的大展主題定為“回歸·超越”的原因所在：
回歸不等於返回，不等於倒退，亦不是對於舊的材質與形式的迷戀，而是在回望攝影史的過程中找到自己的坐標。回歸是對現代生活背後真相的探尋，是過去與現在之間的聯繫，回歸是腳踩大地對攝影未來的某種期許。
超越則是一個過程，是突破臨界點的強大力量，超越並不意味著對過去的否定，而是突破舊有的限制而產生出的全新的認知攝影的方式。
回歸與超越，是一對相輔相成的概念，回歸是夯實腳下的土地，超越是展翅高飛的欲望。攝影正是在不斷的回望過去的過程中尋找到全新的方向，並得以前行。
In the 2011 China Pingyao International Photography Exhibition the theme for the academic section was “Rediscovering Photography.” We asked for images which showed a rediscovery of our passion for photography. For the 2012 festival we have chosen “Regression and Surpassing” as the theme. It is a continuation and evolution of our 2011 theme asking this time to consider the past as a source of photographic art making while wanting images that value the future. One needs to witness the past core of photography to make new meaning.
Right now, photography can be considered in an ever-growing complexity and it has had so many layers of meaning since its birth. For over 100 years, various concepts of creation and theory have guided photographers. This has resulted in a spiral rise of photography’s purpose and result. Today, when we review the past, what we see is probably a mist left over from history while the ever-changing reality has added to its perplexity. This is precisely why we designate the theme for this year’s exhibition to be "Regression and Surpassing".
Regression is not equal to a return or going backward, nor is it an obsession with the old materials and forms. On the contrary, it is to find photography’s own coordinates and core while reviewing the process of its history. Regression is an exploration of the truth behind modern life. It represents a link between the past and the present. Regression can provide a down-to-earth approach to consider the future of photography.
Surpassing on the other hand is a process. It is an attempt to step into an unknown. Instead of being a negation of the past, surpassing is an entirely new approach of categorizing photography created after being freed from the old restrictions. Surpassing relies on imagination and hope and it has the possibility to achieve a breakthrough at a critical point.
Regression and surpassing is a set of concepts that complement each other with the former consolidating the foundation and the latter being the desire for stepping up to a higher level. It is precisely in the constant process of reviewing the past that photography can identify entirely new directions and make new headways.
