Social Inequality, As Seen From The Sky

纵观世界，或大或小的城市在不同程度上都存在着社会与经济差异。诸如收入、教育、医疗保健、基础设施的差异与失衡往往能从建筑与城市空间之中反映出来。

在现实生活中，许多社会不公平现象常常被忽略，摄影师Johnny Miller认为：“人们生活中的差异在平时不易察觉，但某些贫富差距的极端现象仍然存在。”因此，Miller的系列作品“失衡场景”则“希望能够表达这些社会中的不公平现象”。

Miller通过无人机拍摄了这些空中场景，这位摄影师最初在南非约翰内斯堡进行了项目拍摄，在这里他捕捉到种族隔离制度所留下的裂痕与创伤。

Across the world, urban clusters have -- to a greater or lesser extent -- social and economic differences. Reflected in space, these imbalances of income and access to education, health, sanitation, and infrastructure generate ruptures more or less visible - although drastically felt.
Although a daily reality for some, socio-spatial inequalities can often go unnoticed. Photographer Johnny Miller states, "Discrepancies in how people live are sometimes hard to see from the ground... Oftentimes, communities of extreme wealth and privilege will exist just meters from squalid conditions and shack dwellings." Miller's photo series 'Unequal Scenes' seeks "to portray the most 'Unequal Scenes' in [the world] as objectively as possible."
Miller's aerial photographs taken from a drone highlight ruptures in physical space. The photographer began his project in Johannesburg, South Africa where he photographed the scars of apartheid.

“人们的生活方式存在差异，而这些差异很难从地面的视角发现，因此只有通过天空这一全新视角，才能看到事物的真正形态，在几百米的高空中，许多场景会神奇地出现，在其中，某些社区已经明确地考虑到了分离的形态。”——Johnny Miller

“Discrepancies in how people live are sometimes hard to see from the ground. The beauty of being able to fly is to see things from a new perspective - to see things as they really are. Looking straight down from a height of several hundred meters, incredible scenes of inequality emerge. Some communities have been expressly designed with separation in mind, and some have grown more or less organically.
-Johnny Miller”

近期，Miller增加了摄影的范围，其中包括美国、墨西哥、坦桑尼亚、肯尼亚，以及印度。每座城市都展现了不同的风貌和形态，但在固有背景下不平等现象仍然存在，而这些恰恰是影响社会发展的主要元素。

Recently, Miller expanded his series and photographed cities in the United States, Mexico, Tanzania, Kenya, and India. Each of these places has different forms and urban morphologies specific to their respective contexts, however, the ruptures remain, conditioning - and limiting - social and spatial development.
