二又二分之一圣物系列



摄影系列中的物件来自亚琛大教堂馆藏的圣物,每一件都有其历史的含义与故事。这个系列命名为“二又二分之一圣物,“二”代表着二维的平面世界,而多出来的二分之一是指代的时间。从德国的二手市场买来七十年代的极限明信片,然后通过扫描进行创作,这些全新的图像因扫描仪光与时间的给予,拥有了新的神秘感,比如圣玛丽亚圣物匣,横侧面有圣母玛利亚和孩子的像以及十二个使徒,在时光的塑造中,出现了类似生殖器的纹样。而罗泰尔十字架则仿佛被火点燃一般暗示着基督教义赛43 :2经文,「你从水中经过,我必与你同在;你趟过江河,水必不漫过你;你从火中行过,必不被烧,火焰也不着在你身上」。


Two and a half, Relic
The objects in the photograph series are a set of postcard, the relic in Aachen Cathedral. Each of the sacred objects can be traced back to a long history. I found this 1970’s postcards in a German second-hand market.
This work is named "Two and One Half, Relic”. Two represents two-dimension world, and the half refers to span of time. I laid these postcards onto the scanner glass to reimage them. The light moved smoothly through the surface of the card, while my finger was also moving gently. Light and time brought the new image a sense of mystery. On the postcard, the side panel of Santa Maria reliquaries are carved with Madonna and Child, twelve apostles. When I moved the postcard on the scanner glass, a shape of females procreation adoration appeared. Meanwhile the Cross of Lothair looks like fire, which alludes Isaiah Verse 43:2: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.”
