明暗研究室|Atelier Noirs 成立于上海，致力于探索当代城市化背景下，人与空间、城市、文化及社会等多重尺度生活环境的关系。

​

研究室的美学灵感源于美国摄影师John Alton对于黑色电影(Film Noir)黑白摄影的经典总结: “用光绘画”。黑白摄影以极致纯粹的光影控制构建层次与细节，仅凭对镜头中每一束光线的精准调度，便能塑造丰富的视觉张力。黑与白、明与暗，相互对立又彼此共生，在对比之间形成独特的叙事张力。

​

明暗研究室的创作方法正是围绕“明暗”这一对立共生的核心概念展开。以空间构成与光影分布为基础，融合影像创作与空间设计等多种手段，通过跨领域实践，探索“人与环境”这一根本关系背后的对立统一及其无限可能性。

​

明暗研究室的研究与实践涵盖多个领域，包括但不限于：建筑、装置、室内与展陈设计、摄影与电影。

Atelier Noirs was founded in Shanghai, focusing on exploring the relationship between the human condition and various scales of living environments—such as space, city, culture, and society— within the context of contemporary urbanization.
 

The founding of Atelier Noirs draws its aesthetic inspiration from John Alton's summary on Film Noir’s cinematography: "painting with light." This black-and-white photography technique is pure, with richness of detail conveyed through a variety of shades of light. Black and white, light and dark, are in contrast yet coexist.
 

The creative methodology of Atelier Noirs is rooted in the exploration of "light and shadow," dual yet interdependent elements. Employing image creation and spatial design as methods, Atelier Noirs seeks to uncover the infinite possibilities of the dialectical unity behind the fundamental relationship between "people and the environment" through works and practices in various fields.
 

The practical directions of Atelier Noirs include, but are not limited to, architecture, installations, interior and exhibition design, photography, and film.
