In 1975, photographer Mary Ellen Mark was assigned by The Pennsylvania Gazette to produce a story on the making of Milos Forman’s film of Ken Kesey’s 1962 novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, shot on location at the Oregon State Hospital, a mental institution. While on set, Mark met the women of Ward 81, the only locked hospital security ward for women in the state: The inmates were considered dangerous to themselves or to others. In February of 1976, just before the ward closed (it ceased to exist in November of 1977, when it became the female section of a coeducational treatment ward), Mark and Karen Folger Jacobs, a writer and social scientist, were given permission to make a more extended stay, living on the ward in order to photograph and interview the women. They spent 36 days on Ward 81, photographing and documenting. Jacobs recalls their slow, inevitable assimilation: “We felt the degeneration of our own bodies and the erosion of our self-confidence. We were horrified at the thought of what we might become after a year or two of confinement and therapy on Ward 81.”

玛丽·艾伦·马克，当今国际摄影界最令人尊敬、最具影响力的摄影家之一，马格南首批女性成员。在长达半个多世纪的职业生涯中，她四处奔走，拍摄的照片折射出高度的人文主义色彩。她拍过妓女和马戏团，拍过精神病患者，拍过离家出走的青少年，拍过住在拖车里的流浪者……
《幕后》一书中，她却将镜头对准好莱坞拍摄现场的大人物，在这里，导演指导演员进入角色，摄影师用光影讲述故事，灯光师、美术师和化妆师通力合作，打造出另一个超凡的世界……这一切为玛丽·艾伦·马克的创作带来了全新的视觉灵感，一本罕见的商业和纪录作品交汇之作自此诞生。
♦“相机是我穿梭片场的通行证。”
自二十世纪六十年代后期，玛丽·艾伦·马克受邀成为上百部电影的“特聘剧照摄影师”——她“在泥沼里蹚来蹚去”，用相机记录下了《爱情神话》《现代启示录》《飞越疯人院》《红磨坊》《理发师陶德》《查理与巧克力工厂》等影史佳作的片场。
♦黑白影像捕捉浮华世界、电影幻梦之下的人物心灵肖像
《幕后》中的片场影像，或有趣，或伤感，或讽刺，或怀旧。这里熬油费火，人人都风尘仆仆；这里昼夜颠倒，突发事件不断；这里风云际会，灵光往往诞生于碰撞。幻想与现实、戏剧与日常在此交汇，影人们频繁地出入场景和角色之间。好莱坞将其浮华背后的创造力，坦率地交给了一颗用心注视的镜头。玛丽·艾伦·马克亦用局外人的眼光观察，捕捉靓妆炫服下的本真面孔。
♦小罗伯特·唐尼、蒂姆·伯顿、科波拉、海伦·米伦等著名电影人亲笔撰文，讲述幕后天地的魅力
《幕后》配有多篇知名演员、导演、制片人亲笔撰写的回忆文章，讲述影史名片的幕后逸闻。文字散落于影像之间，串连起这一部好莱坞视觉简史。
♦国内印刷巨匠“雅昌文化集团”承印，全方位复刻“费顿”原版印刷工艺，还原大师影像质感
大开本珍藏版品质，圆脊软精装本，内文采用专色印刷，高光和暗部细节丰富动人，每一张照片皆有过油工艺精心保护，护色防磨。

Acclaimed American documentary photographer Mary Ellen Mark (b. 1940) made her first iconic pictures when living in Turkey on a Fulbright Fellowship in the mid-1960s. Her photographs of Bombay brothels, shot in the late 1970s, were published in 1981 in Falkland Road, a book that became legendary and confirmed her status as one of the most prominent and provocative documentary photographers working today Mark's pictures are a celebration of humanity in its most diverse and eccentric forms. Circuses, gypsy camps, children yearning for adulthood, the poor and destitute are some of her recurring themes. Mark has the unique ability to capture gestures and expressions that translate the intense emotions of her subjects. Compassionate but never literal, her pictures can be humorous, tragic, enigmatic, shocking, and oftentimes all of these simultaneously This book presents for the first time a selection of the strongest pictures of Mark's forty-year career, drawing from emblematic series such as "Falkland Road," "Indian Circus," and "Twins," as well as a selection of previously unpublished images. The photographs are accompanied by an introduction by Weston Naef, and an interview with Mark that provides context and behind-the-scene anecdotes. Together Mark's images and words provide intimate insights into the lives of others, presenting compelling stories of human strength and suffering
