与一张照片同住

A screen is one of the ways to see a photograph and it is not the only one. The sequences in this archive were edited to be met in order, one after another, at a size where the whole frame sits inside your field of view at once. A print is the version of the work that does that, and it is the version the work is finished for.

Three kinds of request are answered here, and they are answered differently. What they have in common is that nothing is agreed until it is written down, and nothing is paid before that.

屏幕是看照片的方式之一,但不是唯一的一种。这个档案里的每一组影像是按顺序编的——一张接一张,尺寸大到整个画面能同时落进视野。纸上的版本才能做到这一点,作品也是为它定稿的。

这里回应三类需求,回应的方式各不相同。共同的一点是:没有写下来就不算谈定,谈定之前不用付款。

Nothing on this site is behind a payment and nothing will be. Buying a print is not how the archive is paid for — it is how a photograph leaves the screen. / 网站上的内容不会因为付费才开放。买一张印片不是这个档案的收入来源,而是一张照片离开屏幕的方式。

01

A print for a room

You choose the photograph, or the sequence. Size, paper and finish are settled together first, because each file was prepared for a particular surface and a different one undoes it. Prints are made to order at a lab that prints for exhibitions, checked one by one before they are sent, and signed and numbered on the back. A print can be asked for at any size the file carries; where a picture cannot be enlarged further without showing it, you will be told so instead of being sold the larger one.

你选照片,或者选一组。尺寸、纸张和装裱先一起定下来,因为每个文件都是为某一种纸准备的,换一种就废掉了。印片由长期为展览输出的工作室按需制作,寄出前逐张检查,背面签名并编号。文件支撑得住的尺寸都可以要求;如果一张照片再放大就会露出像素,我会直接告诉你,而不是把大的那张卖给你。

02

A wall, in a set

These sequences were edited as sequences, and most of them have never been shown as one. If you programme a space and want a series, say which series and how much wall there is; what comes back is a hanging plan with sizes, a price for the set, and a date it can be ready. Prints can be made for the run of the show, and what happens to them afterwards — kept, returned, or sold on — is agreed before they are made rather than after.

这些影像是按组编的,而其中大部分还从没有作为一组展出过。如果你在策划空间、想要某一组,告诉我哪一组、有多少墙面;回来的是一份带尺寸的悬挂方案、整组的价格,以及可以就绪的日期。展期的印片可以专门制作;展完之后怎么处理——留下、退回还是转售——在制作之前谈定,而不是之后。

03

One use at a time

For a magazine, a book, a record sleeve, a film, a talk, a classroom or a piece of research. A licence names the photographs, the use, the territory and the term, and then it is written down and signed by both sides. Nothing in this archive is stock and none of it sits in a picture library, so a request is answered by the person who made the pictures, usually the same day. Student and non-commercial use is answered differently from commercial use — say which one it is and the answer will fit it.

杂志、书籍、唱片封套、影片、讲座、课堂,或者一项研究。授权会写明是哪几张、什么用途、哪个地区、多长时间,然后写下来由双方签署。这个档案里的照片不是图库图,也没有交给任何图片库代理,所以回信的是拍这些照片的人,通常当天就回。学生与非商业用途和商业用途的答复不一样——说明是哪一种,答复就按哪一种来。

04

Not for everything

The photographs are not licensed for training machine-learning models, they are not sold as files to be redistributed or resold, and they are not placed in stock libraries. That is the whole of the list. Advertising, political campaigns and anything that would put a photograph next to a claim it cannot support are answered case by case, and the answer is often no. If you are not sure which side of this your use falls on, ask — an enquiry costs nothing and a wrong assumption costs a lot.

照片不授权用于训练机器学习模型,不作为文件出售以供再分发或转售,也不进入图库。清单就是这些。广告、政治宣传,以及任何会让一张照片去支撑它支撑不了的说法的用途,逐件商量,答案常常是不行。如果你不确定自己的用途落在哪一边,问一下——问不要钱,猜错很贵。

How to ask

怎么问

Four things make a request answerable in one reply: which photograph or series, what it is for, how large or how many, and the date you need it by. If you came here from a photograph, the link you arrived on is already in the message. Prices are quoted per request rather than published as a list, because a print for a wall and a picture in a magazine are not the same object — but the quote arrives before anything is paid, and it does not change afterwards.
