失落的家庭肖像

2011 年敘利亞內戰爆發,數百萬人被迫遠走 他鄉,流亡鄰國。攝影師 Dario Mitidieri 深入黎 巴嫩東部貝卡谷地的兩座難民營,完成了《失 落的家族肖像》計畫。他將鏡頭對準戰爭帶來 的巨大創傷與家破人亡;畫面中無人入座的空 椅象徵著在戰火中失去的親人。Mitidieri 表示

「攝影中最重要的元素是信任,而且一直都是如 此,但在這次拍攝中有鑒於拍攝的情境,以及 自戰爭爆發以來這些家庭所目睹的種種暴行, 這份信任就顯得格外重要。」據聯合國難民署 統計,截至 2023 年 1 月,仍有高達 318,713 名 敘利亞難民棲身於貝卡谷地的難民營中。 


Lost Family Portraits

Since the Syrian civil war began in 2011, millions of refugees have been forcibly displaced in neighboring countries. For his project Lost Family Portraits — photographed in two different refugee camps in Beqaa Valley, eastern Lebanon — Dario Mitidieri explores loss and the devastating effects that war has on families. Empty chairs symbolize the relatives lost in the conflict. "The most important element of the shoot was trust," says Mitidieri. "This is always the case, but in this instance, it was particularly significant, given the context of the assignment and the atrocities these families have witnessed since the beginning of the war." According to UNHCR, as of 1 January 2023, 318,713 Syrian refugees are living in camps in Beqaa Valley.
