room Installation

Includes six-track audio, artificial snow-falling mechanical equipment, fog machine, perfume, printed pictures and lights

Through "windows" built in a closed space isolated from the surrounding environment, the downloaded static landscape is brought inside, and the mechanical device is used to create snow and fog, this work uses artificial methods to implant half-true and half-false natural landscapes into the man-made space.

The landscape images are taken from material found on photo websites by searching for the keyword "snow": the photographer who took them and transmitted them to the internet (or perhaps the purveyor after many hands) is a string of user names, the location information is also missing, and the landscape becomes an image with few clues. The description of commercial use means that it can appear in any scene. The 50cm gap between the two walls and the three fluorescent lights carefully positioned outside the frame create a visual depth of field for this flat image that is both real and fake. A handmade mechanical device mounted on the ceiling continuously and unevenly shakes off plastic crystals of snow in front of the image. Six speakers hidden above the elastic fabric ceiling play a six-frequency surround sound track made of ambient sounds such as fireplace wood burning, movie narration on the TV, cheering at soccer games, iphone typing sound effects, and sentimental saxophone music.

I was interested in whether and how this artificially romanticized space worked: standing at a distance, I built a white, immaculate, perfectly modeled scene. But I intended to avoid it becoming a bizarre landscape, so the result is still closer to a small, simple, everyday space. At the same time I invite the viewer to enter, waiting wistfully for the traces of paper collage, the noise of the motor, the stains on the floor from the trampling to be discovered up close. The feedback I received from the audience included a sigh of relief at the beauty of the scenery and the desire to move in immediately, but also a sense of sadness at the indifference, eccentricity and loneliness emanating from the installation: being in this isolated space in a simulated scene may also create a feeling of discomfort similar to the "Valley of Terror effect". A year later, the epidemic era came, and the fable became a reality.

空间装置

包含六轨音频、人工落雪机械装置和烟雾机、香水、打印图片和灯光

通过在与周围环境隔绝连接性的封闭的空间里搭建的“窗户”,将下载来的静态风景引入了室内,并用机械装置造雪造雾,这件作品使用人工的方式向人造的空间植入了半真半假的自然风景。

风景图片是来自图片网站通过关键字“雪景”检索找到的素材:拍摄以及将之上传至网络的摄影爱好者(或许是途径多手后的传播者)是一 串用户名代号,地点信息同样缺失,风景成为了线索匮乏的图像,free for commercial use的说明意味着它可以出现在任意场景。两面墙之间的50cm的空隙与精心安置在画框之外的三盏日光灯为这张平面的图片制造了亦真亦假的视觉景深。安装在顶上的手工制作的机械装置在图片 之前持续而不太均匀地抖落塑料的晶莹雪花。 隐藏在弹性布料制作的天花板之上的六个音箱播放着由壁炉柴火燃烧声、电视机里电影的旁白、足球赛的欢呼、iphone打字音效、感伤的萨克斯风音乐等等环境音制成的六频环绕音轨,

我感兴趣的是这种充斥着人工化浪漫的空间是否奏效、又是如何奏效的:站在一定距离外观看,我搭建的是一个洁白无暇,宛若完美建模的场景。 但我意图避免它成为奇异景观,因而所建造的结果仍然更接近一个狭小简朴的日常空间。同时我又邀请观众进入其中,不怀好意地等待纸张拼贴的痕迹,马达发出的噪音,地面被踩踏而出现的污渍被近距离发现。 从观众处得到的反馈包含对因此景太美而想立马搬入此处的感叹的同时也有部分观众被装置中散发的冷漠、古怪、孤独感引发伤感:处于这个被隔绝空间中的仿真场景中也可能产生类似“恐怖谷效应”的不适感受。 一年后疫情时代来临,寓言变成了现实。
