“我能听见我的心跳。
我能听见所有人的心跳。
我能听见我们坐在那儿发出的噪音,
直到房间全都黑下来了,也没有人动一下。
I could hear my heart beating.
I could hear everyone's heart.
I could hear the human noise we sat there making.
Not one of us moving,not even when the room went dark.”
——Raymond Carver
《一块掉落的天花板》展览现场,厦门兑山美术馆
这件名为《一块掉落的天花板》装置作品也是关于对城市空间的思考,创作于2017年。在这个作品里,我把创作的视角放在了探讨现代城市所构建的层化空间,与生活在其中的人所生成的心理之墙。
This installation named ‘A Falling Ceiling’ is also about urban space, made in 2017. In this work, I put my research perspective on exploring the psychological walls between the stratified space constructed by modern city and the people living in it.
我通过图像,激光和影像的组合营造了一个半开放的浸入式空间,在其中呈现’光线’的两个不同的可视化维度。一副被切开的巨型照片悬浮在空间中,如同一块分裂的纪念碑。同时,激光束在这个场域中以入侵者的姿态出现,只要进入其中的人都不可避免的要与之接触。光的线揭示了墙——现代城市中人与空间之间的心理之墙。
I made a semi-open immersive area through the combination of image, laser and video, in which two different visual dimensions of ‘light’ were presented. The cut giant photograph was suspended in the middle, like a divided monument, and a horizontal laser beam appeared like an intruder in this field. Anyone who entered the area of this work inevitably came into contact with this laser beam. The line of light reveals the wall—the psychological wall between people and urban space in modern cities.
悬挂的照片拍摄的是一盏有合页的舞台射灯悬浮在一个蓝黑色的不确定的空间中。见下图。

我将照片倾斜悬挂,使其中的地平线(在照片中是倾斜的)与实际的地平线平行。然后在展览空间中设置了一条水平激光,这条光刚好穿过照片中被切割的地平线:似乎是这道光线切割开了这张照片,同时切割了空间中所有的物体,包括走进这个场域的观者。
I hung the photo obliquely so that the horizon inside (It is slanted in the photo) could be parallel to the actual horizon. Then a horizontal laser was set up in the exhibition space, which just passed through the horizontal cut gap in the photo:It seemed that this ray of light cut through this photo and at the same time cut all the objects in the space, including the viewers who walked into this area.
照片背后的投影仪播放的是这个作品第一个版本在2012展出时的行为表演现场纪录片。观者在正面是看不到视频的,但可以听到纪录片中玻璃敲击的背景音,一种按照“心跳”的节奏敲击出的清脆声音。
The projector behind the photo showed a documentary of the performance when the first version of this work was exhibited in 2012. The viewer could not see the video from the front, but could hear the background sound of the glass knocking in the documentary, a crisp sound that struck in the rhythm of ‘heartbeat’.
在装置展出现场,我通过无声的方式“阅读”了Raymond Carver小说中的一句话:
“我能听见我的心跳。我能听见所有人的心跳。我能听见我们坐在那儿发出的噪音,直到房间全都黑下来了,也没有人动一下。”
At the exhibition site, I ‘read’ a sentence from Raymond Carver's novel through performance in a silent way:
'I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone's heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making. Not one of us moving,not even when the room went dark. '
