赵国敏：《乡村档案》
　　拍摄时间：1998-2007年
　　拍摄地点：河南豫西乡村
　　我以纪实的手段,记录了自己家乡豫西乡村的变迁, 尤其是结合乡村古老的梨、镂、锄、耙等农用生产工具,将这些农具终将进入历史博物馆之前, 留下一幅幅人物与农具的档案。 机械化农具很快代替犁、镂、锄、耙,这些伴随祖祖辈辈生产干活的农具即将淘汰,但是却具有不可替代的文物档案般的意味。 我一直行走在豫西地区的大部分乡村,历经九年拍摄了近千户人家并记录了每户家庭变化和详细资料。

　　I uses a reportage approach to record the changes that have taken place in recent years in his native rural area of YuXi, HeNan. In his photographs, he surrounds farmers with old farm implements soon destined to become museum exhibits such as ploughs, wheelbarrows, harrows, and hoes, leaving a record spanning people and the tools of their livelihood. Industrialized farm tools will soon replace ploughs and hoes, and these age-old companions of productive labor are on the point of being rendered obsolete, yet they stand as a record of irreplaceable cultural value. I has traveled around the Yuxi countryside for nine years and has made visual records of over 1,000 households, the changes in their lifestyles and detailed itemizations of their belongs.
