Between Shuttles

穿梭之间

车轮作为现代社会中的最重要但常被忽略的物品之一,同时又作为一种生命与力量的象征。个人与众人的命运伴着车轮滚滚而跌宕起伏,有人驾驭它,有人屈服它。它载着人类在大地上前行,也载着人类碾进宇宙中。

通过扫描仪的视角,观众得以细细地窥探车轮的纹路,品味时间的磨痕。此外在作品中,不同种类的石头象征不同的时空。如《岩边》里使用了古生物化石;而《河边》里的石子,玻璃,瓷片等,均来自于河滩上,它们被河流磨平的菱角是人类文明的与自然进化的和解。

之前关于石头的系列,如《达摩克列斯之石》,讨论神与自然、命运的关系;正如黑塞说:“生命之初有神话”。而之后的《洞穴》则为隐去神冥,回归本真,追求心中之景。而《车轮》系列继《洞穴》系列之后,着眼于我们当下人类社会,眺望星空。


Between Shuttles

As one of articles the most important but ignored often in modern society, wheels are a symbol of life and strength. All people’s fate experiences ups and downs as wheels roll. Someone drives the wheels or someone is subject to them. They go forward with carrying humans on the ground also go into the universe.

Seeing by a scanner, audiences can see lines of wheels in detail, appreciating grinding cracks made by time. Besides, in the works, stones of different types symbolize different space-time. For example, in Space No.2, paleontological fossils have been used; in Space No.8, stones, glass and ceramic chips are all from a benchland, and their edges smoothed by the river are reconciliation of human civilization with nature evolution.

A series of works about stones, such as Damocles’ Stone, discusses relations of the god, the nature and fate; just as what Hesse said, “There is a myth in the beginning of life”. The next Cave is about hiding gods to return to the real look and to pursue scenery in the mind. Wheel series, after the Cave series, pays attention to us on the ground looking at stars above our heads.
