想象你从天而降,置于人群聚集的广场、或灯火通明的万达拱廊、或充斥着广告页面的双11零点、或某条朋友圈热文的评论窗口,或任何一个你认为你存在的地方。在这个图像的肉身景观里,目光无时也无处不在,甚至在目睹之前,你就已经为他者的凝视而预备着了。图像的确定性似乎是绝对的,因为你好像有足够的时间与图像彼此凝视。然而这是被预设的确信,如果你其实是处在“沉醉中”(Matrix)呢?日光和其造就的图像是否依然可信?
这是一个犹如柏拉图洞穴的剧场。黑洞与日光,明室与暗室,虚与实,内与外,这些关系被空间分割,同时,又被穿梭其中的观众所连结。当几次进出的目盲盲目过后,紊乱现实,也许我们在一些看似明确的东西上,都失去了真相的可能。我们再也不知道如何去观看了。我们又将怎样去面对那些可见或不可见的影像?影像是否也能是个动词?飞矢,穿透日光的幕布。
暗室
“暗室”部分,空间将被设置成一个“环绕剧场”——观众席在中心,四周皆是作品。这就如同柏拉图洞穴中那些背身正视着火把倒影的囚徒,围绕着观众,4位艺术家将共同制造“火光与道具”的图像表演。
Imagine that you descend from the sky, landing in a crowded square, or a brightly lit Wanda arcade, or a midnight of double 11th festival filled with advertisements, or a comment section of a hotly discussed Wechat moment, or any place where you think you could be. In the physical view of the image, eyes are everywhere, and even before you witness them, you are ready for the gaze of the other. The certainty of the image is basically absolute, because you seem to have enough time to stare at each other with the image. However, this is a preset belief. What if you are in the "Matrix”? Are daylight and its images still credible?
The exhibition will be built as a theater of Plato's cave. The black cave and the daylight, the bright and the dark room, the virtual and the real, the internal and the external, all these relationships were divided by space, but also linked by the shuttled audience. After a few sightless and blindness, the reality was in chaos, perhaps we lost the possibility of knowing the truth in something that seems clear. We no longer know how to watch. How do we face visible or invisible images? Can the image also be a verb? A flyer, which penetrates a curtain of the sunlight.
Dark Room
In the Dark Room, the space was set up as a "surround theater" - works were set around the space with the auditorium centered. Just as the prisoners in Plato's cave facing the reflection of the torches, four artists work together to create an image performance of "fire and tool" around the audience.
Light Room
In the Light Room, the space was set up as a "arcaded stage". The "real exhibition" and the "real space" have been misplaced, where the audience watches themselves, examines themselves, and in the reflection, sees the origins and destinies.
