《四惠》是一系列描繪動(dòng)態(tài)、遷移和連接的景觀想象,它產(chǎn)生于這些想法都無(wú)法實(shí)現(xiàn)的時(shí)刻。受地圖、軌跡追蹤和彎曲的步行路線所啟發(fā),這些作品是關(guān)于各類旅行(旅途)的沉思——向內(nèi)、向外、宏大的和渺小的。
在全球因疫情而封鎖停擺期間,網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物和快遞成為與其他人產(chǎn)生身體接觸的僅有形式。很多不同形狀大小的包裹配送頻繁到達(dá),每一件快遞都用醒目的膠帶和塑料泡沫包裹著?!端幕荨废盗兄凶髌凡牧系倪x擇是出于不斷應(yīng)對(duì)高高堆積起來(lái)的各類包裝材料的需要,隨著時(shí)間的推移,作品逐漸演變?yōu)樽陨砼c普遍和低端材料之間關(guān)系的重新審視。
北京的立交橋是為中國(guó)最早的一批城市快速路所修建,《四惠》系列作品中的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)裝置便是其中一座立交橋的縮影。北京的交通地圖上顯示,首都多重的環(huán)路上每一座立交橋的設(shè)計(jì)都是獨(dú)一無(wú)二的;這座城市沒(méi)有兩座相同的橋;從一個(gè)地點(diǎn)順暢的到達(dá)另一個(gè)地點(diǎn)需要高度熟悉地域狀況;熟練程度取決于經(jīng)驗(yàn)和時(shí)間。
《四惠》是一個(gè)持續(xù)的探索,是去捕捉個(gè)人軌跡中的一個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn);也是一個(gè)不斷發(fā)展和變化的實(shí)驗(yàn)。
All Directions Benefit is a series of imagined landscape depicting movement, migration and connection, created during a time when these ideas could not be realized. Inspired by maps, trace routes, and meandering walking paths, the works are contemplations of various journeys—inward, outward, large and small.
During the pandemic lockdown, online shopping and delivery was one of the limited forms of physical contact with others. Package deliveries arrived frequently, taking many shapes and sizes; each arrival was a revelation of tape and plastic foam wrapping. The wall collages in All Directions Benefit initially started as a way to confront a growing pile of accumulating packing materials. Over time, the works evolved into new perspectives on common and “poor” materials.
Some of the earliest highway interchanges in China were built in Beijing. The wire sculpture in All Directions Benefit is a scale representation of one of these interchanges. Transit maps of the city show that every interchange junction in Beijing’s multiple ring roads is unique; no two bridges are alike. Moving seamlessly from one point to another requires intimate familiarity with the territory; a proficiency that comes with experience and time.
All Directions Benefit is an ongoing exploration. The exhibition itself is a point on a line within a personal trajectory, and an experiment that continues to evolve and change.
