A 19th Century Dress Submerged in the Dead Sea Becomes Gradually Crystallized with Salt
19世纪礼服在死海变成结晶衣
Israeli artist Sigalit Landau's love affair with the Dead Sea stretches back decades, having grown up on a hill that overlooks both the Judean desert and the northern part of this hypersaline lake that is among the saltiest on Earth.
伊朗艺术家Sigalit Landau对死海已经痴迷数十年了。她出生在耶路撒冷，一个既能看到朱迪亚沙漠又能看到这个世界上盐度最高湖泊的小山上。
In her artistic practice she utilizes the lake both as a backdrop—one of her most iconic artworks involves a video portrait of herself floating in the lake with an unraveling string of 500 watermelons—as well as a means to produce sculptural objects encrusted with thick layers of salt. Sigalit has created salt sculptures of violins, bicycles, boots, and fishing nets covered in carnallite crystals.
死海可以成为她作品的背景——她最具代表性的作品就是拍摄她自己与500个西瓜一起浮在湖面的那个视频；同时，她还突发奇想，利用湖中高盐度使物体结晶，制成雕塑作品。Landau的团队迄今为止已经通过此方法，创造出结晶小提琴、自行车、靴子还有渔网。
Her latest photographic work titled Salt Bride takes us several meters underwater to view the gradual crystallization of a 19th century dress weighted to the floor of the Dead Sea. The dress was inspired by S. Ansky’s famous play The Dybbuk about a young woman possessed by an evil spirit.
她最新作品《盐的新娘》中，用图像记录了19世纪的礼服在死海高盐度水中的转变。作品创作灵感来自于1916年S. Ansky的话剧《恶灵》。
Written by S. Ansky between 1913 and 1916, The Dybbuk tells the story of a young bride possessed by an evil spirit and subsequently exorcised. In Landau’s Salt Bride series, Leah’s black garb is transformed underwater as salt crystals gradually adhere to the fabric. Over time, the sea’s alchemy transforms the plain garment from a symbol associated with death and madness into the wedding dress it was always intended to be.
该剧由S. Ansky在1913-1916年之间创作而成。讲述了一位年轻的新娘被恶魔占有，随后被驱散的故事。Sigalit Landau的作品《盐的新娘》中，所用材料黑色礼服就取材于那部话剧的装扮。随着时间的推移，死海让这件身缚鬼魂的黑色长礼服转化成洁白的结婚礼服。
To achieve the photographs, Landau collaborated with photographer Yotam From who had to wear over 150 pounds of weight just to submerge himself in the harsh saline water. The final installation incorporates a series of 8 life-size photographs currently on view at Marlborough Contemporary in London through September 3, 2016.

为了完成这个作品，Landau和摄影师Yotam一起合作，最后Yotam还穿着这个150磅的结晶礼服从海底浮出来。这一切努力最终成就了8张与真人一般大小的摄影作品。现在作品正在伦敦展览，9月3日结束。在Artsy上，你可以了解更多有关此次展览的信息。
