Almost Collapsing Balance
临 界 之 躯
身体与平衡是艺术家在《临界之躯》中持续关注的母题。受启于过往习得的木偶制作技术,尤其是关节间的连接和制衡,艺术家得以复现具有强烈张力的日常瞬间。这些作品或接近倒塌,或受强压,或追逐、纠缠,它们皆处于失衡的边缘,临近身体的极限。艺术家持续探索用物理极限的方式表现心灵的临界点,亦进一步思索我们如何平衡自身内部的矛盾,个人与周遭的冲突。
The artist channels her experience of making and
performing with marionettes into her sculptures to encompass flexible joints
and detachable appendages. Mechanical limits between the joints incarnate
a critical state of the mind, granting the sculptures a balanced structure and
a static momentum.
︎04 - Resist 抵抗
Resist is inspired by my thoughts
and prayers of a dear friend who has been suffered from depression for years. The
center components take its form from the Ruperts’tear, a classic type of glass
which has a strong head with an extremely fragile tail. These glass tails are placed so close to the floor, that the bended
wooden body looks like its trying the most to prevent the them from breaking.
我以Resist 来致敬一位长期与抑郁症为伴的朋友。
悬挂于作品中下方的玻璃名为“鲁伯特之泪”。其尾部极其脆弱,轻触便会粉碎,而其头部却异常坚硬,可以抵挡几吨的力量。它提示了我:我们都有脆弱的地方,却也有坚不可摧的力量。
这件作品用尽了全力挺起腹部,防止身体下方的玻璃坠落。正如友人一次次从痛苦中恢复的勇气和意志。
