布里亚特家园

布里亚特人是游牧蒙古人的一支，有8000余名布里亚特人生活在内蒙古自治区呼伦贝尔市鄂温克族自治旗锡尼河西苏木和锡尼河东苏木，人们把他们称为锡尼河布里亚特人，也称为中国布里亚特人。

《太阳圆》影像系列·布里亚特家园是锡尼河布里亚特人的家庭影像档案。家庭是民族的构成、社会的缩影，更是时代发展进步的内在支撑。该系列作品以锡尼河布里亚特人的家庭为核心，以圆形羊圈为线索，以家人、家当、家园为符号，以人像与家园对应的形式，以过去与今天、传统与现代、传承与发展对比的方式为中国布里亚特家庭留影存档，也为21世纪中国游牧蒙古人留影存档。

在该系列作品中，你会看到锡尼河布里亚特人所处的一年四季的草原生态，21世纪的现代游牧生活。锡尼河布里亚特草原广阔，山峦、森林、河流资源丰富。锡尼河西苏木的4个嘎查地处广阔的平地草原，锡尼河东苏木的6个嘎查位于呼伦贝尔草原和大兴安岭背山脚连接处，属于山地草原。实行包草场到户后，每户的草场不是就一块，而是分别在不同的两三处。因此，在这里勒勒车早已消失，取而代之的是，现代拖拉机在几处草场上轮流游牧……

该系列作品是由一个锡尼河布里亚特家庭的两张照片对应构成的，这也是该系列作品的特点。第一张照片是一家人的合影或者夫妻俩或者一两个家庭成员的肖像，第二张照片是这家人的全体成员或一两名家庭成员在他们的圆形羊圈旁留影，是他们家园、家当的纪实。这两幅照片组合构成一个特定时代中国布里亚特人的真实面貌影像，是情感与时代、主人与家园、生命与生态的化石。

岁月的流逝时间的跨越，更能体现影像无可替代的珍贵价值。特别是档案式纪实摄影，往往成为一个时代的真实写照在历史长河中永存。

The Buryats are a group of nomadic Mongolians. There are more than 8000 Buryats living in West(Xi) and East(Dong) of Xinihe sumu in Ewenki Autonomous Banner of Hulunbeir, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, known as the Buryats of Xinihe, also called the Buryats of China.

The Image Series is a family image archive of Xinihe Buryats. Family is the epitome of society, and the inner support of the development and progress of the times. The works takes Buryat family as the core, the circular sheep pens as the clue, the family, possessions and home as the symbol, and the form of portrait and home correspondence, reflecting the past and today, inheritance and development of the Buryats with images. By means of comparison, the files are retained for the Chinese Buryat families, and the Chinese nomadic Mongols in the 21st century are also recorded.

The series documents Xinihe Buryat steppes throughout the year, modern nomadic life in the 21st century. Xinihe Buryats live on a vast grassland, rich in mountains, forests and rivers. The 4 gachas of Xinihe xi sumu are located in the vast flat grassland, and the 6 gachas of Xinihe dong sumu are located at the junction of Hulunbuir grassland and the Greater Khingan Mountains, belonging to the mountain grassland. After the distribution of pasture by household, each household was allocated several pieces of pasture in different places. bullock-carts have long since disappeared, and herdsmen drive tractors to take turns on several pastures.

The series features two photographs of a Buryat family in Xinihe. The first is a family photo or a portrait of the couple or one or two family members. The second is a documentary of the whole family or one or two family members posing next to their round sheep pen. The combination of these two photographs constitutes the real memory of the time of Buryats in China. These photos will become the solidification of emotions and times, owners and homes, life and ecology.

How precious these images are, by which the lost years of the nomadic Buryat Mongols are recorded , leaving an irreplicable archive of the past history.
