角是牛的武器

壳是贝的盔甲

这根“矛”与这块“盾”,在它们肉身的时间之外留存了下来。

将收集的牛角与贝壳链接到没有生命的石块之上,延续一个长久的矛盾。

Horns, weapons of bovine kind,

Shells, the armor that they find,

These "spear" and "shield", so well designed,

Endure beyond flesh, agelessly refined.

Linking horns and shells to stone,

An act that makes the mind bemoan,

Perpetuating a paradox, a confusion-prone,

That endures through ages, to be shown.

随着城市优化与扩张,此处愈发繁荣

随着城市优化与扩张,乡愁愈发稀薄

在瞬息万变之中,唯有抽象的回忆,才能让故居鲜活

这些图像来城市边缘自正在或者等待被建设的地带

这些地带中脏乱的一切以及生活的印迹

就像破玻璃一样被敲碎,融化,再造成崭新的

美丽的新楼即将出现,陈旧的乡愁随它去罢

As the city thrives with urban expansion and progress, we bid farewell to the old house over and over again. Only abstract recollections can keep these old homes alive. These images capture the fringes where old structures and the traces of the lives of those who inhabit the space will soon give way to new structures. As we marvel at the beauty of new, grander buildings, where does the intangible feeling of nostalgia go?

徊 If it is Everlasting. Single Channel Video, 23m08s, 2021

In my hometown, countless rivers have been transformed due to the country’s economic development needs . This kind of transformation often comes at a great cost, but it is rarely mentioned.In this work, the water flow backwards, the human in the water is struggling, and forced to move in the opposite direction in order to be in sync with the water."If it is Everlasting" is a non-narrative video work that has no fixed beginning or ending but in a continuous, ambigious loop. It advocates Laozi’s philosophy of “one of mankind and nature”, a way of adapting to nature rather than tampering it. Rethinking such occurence, I directed the subject to perform the dance in reverse, an act that makes moving in water even more ardous. Hours of footage were shot and edited. In the work, under the established spatiotemporal rules, provisional body language offer a "fake appearance" of defying gravity and natural order, and a reconstruction of the relationship between "a person" and "waterfall". The subject constantly enters and exits the screen in a loop, an attempt to weaken the linearity of time. The sound of dripping water from stalactites seems to be in the invisible dark cave,hinting the "hallucination" of visual; this hallucination is the only way to make the waterfall flow in the opposite direction, an act that is impossible in reality. The video hopes to rethink the relationships between varying degrees of "intervention", "destruction" and "adaptation" to the environments of human activities in the process of urbanization from a “timeless” perspective.

在这件作品中,贝壳隐喻着人类、社会、系统、权力或世界上存在其他事物的由于内在脆弱性而延伸出的“自我保护”行为。“外壳”表明其中有脆弱的存在。展览邀请观众踩碎贝壳,感受保护壳的易碎以及破坏贝壳过程中的自我力量,并亲身体验脆弱。当观众走向展览尽头的贝壳时,他们可以通过另一个独立的贝壳内的镜子内照见自己的影像。

In this work, the shells serve as metaphors of the fragility of humans, societies, systems, power, or anything with a "Self-protection" behavior due to it‘s inherent vulnerability in our world. A shell indicates the presence of a fragile being within it. The weaker the being, the bigger the need for a shelter. Viewers are invited to stomp on the shells in the exhibition in order to feel the delicateness of the shells, and the power of be as a saboteur. As the viewers move towards A shell in the end of the work, they can catch a glimpse of themselves via the mirror within the shell: a direct reflection of theirselves.”

当被要求一致时,个人如何面对自身的不同?

如何回应这种本就存在差异?

如何审视个体与集体的关系?

不同身高的人以不同程度的变化身体,达到一样的高度标准。

How do individuals confront their differences when asked to be consistent? How to respond to this inherent difference?

How to examine the relationship between the individual and the collective?

People of different heights change their bodies to different degrees,

To meet the standard, all conform.

发展中国家城市化中迁徙的地区青年们,为了能以拥有一所房屋的方式定居在陌生的城市,终身为之奋斗。某种程度上或许与藤壶一样:从随波逐浪的浮游生物到无法移动栖岩而居的甲壳动物,是一种选择。生命之后留下了空荡的房子。

该装置以藤壶壳与回收的房屋建筑用照明灯组合而成,夜晚工地的光线穿过已经消亡的藤壶的空壳。借此引出消费主义与资本主义下个体生存痕迹中自由,迁徙与安全感之间矛盾的思考。

HOUSES

Driven by the competition for economic progress, cities are developing at an unprecedented speed and houses are being constructed every day. Despite a housing oversupply, younger generations are struggling to achieve home ownership. A home isn’t just a home; its not easy to describe its significance. It’s the foundation of marriage, it’s the source of security, it’s one’s formal integration into the society, and more – to the extent that one is willing to make lots of sacrifice and becomes a “slave” to a house. This body of work features barnacle shells. Like the younger generations, barncles trade their freedom for security. Young barnacles once swimmed freely in the water as Nauplius and as they grow, they seek out suitable spots and cement themselves permanently to the substrate with another proteinaceous compound and become an immovable arthropod for the rest of their lives. To survive, they use their feathery legs (cirri) to capture plankton and construct their “houses”(shells). Albeit, they cannot escape fate and generation after generation, only their empty "houses" are left after they pass on. The installation is made using barnacle shells and recycled construction searchlights – once the former “houses” of the barnacles, the shells are now empty and the shadows cast by the searchlights prompt the viewers to think about the balance between freedom and security.
