我知道的并不多于我现在的所知 I Know No More Than What I Know Now
《永恒的未来》之衍生项目· The branch project of 'The Lasting Future'

"⼈类所能迈过的最长旅程并不能让他们冲破边界,⽽只会带领他们 回到最初的出发点。数世纪的劳作并不会多向⼈类透露⼀丁点造物 的秘密,多于他们现在的所知。

For the longest journey would merely return them to the place whence they'd come. Centuries of their labor would not reveal to them any more of Creation than they already knew."

—Ted Chiang

这个系列名为《我知道的并不多于我现在的所知》,是《永恒的未来》的项目分支.还在创作阶段,包括数码摄影,记忆游戏卡片以及相关的一些绘画和文字。非人工自然这个研究路径出发,我将创作切入点专注于捕捉人和自然景观的关系中出现的微妙的尴尬感和距离感。从而展现了离开了城市景观的范畴之后,面对自然时,人的局外者的身份如何被进一步强调。

This work is the branch project of ‘ The Lasting Future’, which is in progress from 2019. Currently there are about 12 photographic pictures,memory game cards and some related paintings and texts. Starting from the research path of ‘non-artificial nature’, I focus on the entry point to capture a kind of subtle awkwardness and sense of distance in the relationship between human and landscapes. This work shows how human’s ‘outsiders’ position is further emphasized when facing non-artificial nature after escaping from the piled up urban spectacles.

 

摄影部分所呈现出来的样貌是纪实拍摄,实际上是经过了数码修改和重组,以呈现出要传达的局外感:人在自然景观中的出现如同刚刚登上了未知星球的表面。在拍摄时,我选取风景扁平化的角度,加上后期的对图像细节的数码处理,使画面形成一个无上下文、无明确时间空间界限的舞台布景tableaus),人或人造物出现在这个tableaus上,却与之缺乏着叙事上的关联。图像中所有人的出现似乎是一个瞬间,一个对自然而言可以被完全忽略的瞬间。

The appearances presented by these photography seems to be documentary, in fact they have been digitally modified or reconstructed, in order to emphasize the “the outlier” feelingthe appearance of human in landscape is like having just landed on the surface of an unknown planet. When shooting the original images, I chose a flat angle of the landscape, coupled with the digital processing of the details, so that the images formed a stage setting (tableaus) without context, lacking the spatiotemporal axis. People and man-made objects appear inside this "tableau", but lack a narrative connection. The appearance of human in the image seems to be an instant that can be completely ignored by nature.

发现世界的厚实,看出一块石头陌生到何等程度,我们感到无能无力,大自然显示出何等强度,一处风景就可以否定我们。自然美的深处,无不潜伏着非人的东西:就说这些山峦、天空的晴和,这些树木曼妙的图景,转瞬间就丧失了我们所赋予的幻想的意义,从此就跟失去的天堂一样遥不可及了。世界原初的敌意,穿越了数千年,又追上我们了。
——阿尔贝· 加缪

“悬空的流水”摄影装置

悬空的流水摄影装置(上左图)

材料:艺术微喷,绘画,亚克力板

尺寸:20*15cm*8幅(摄影),42*30cm(绘画),2019

上图展出的是一组放大的地表细节图片,拍摄于同一个地点的不同时段,静默变化的地表在呈现出来的时候却可以连成一条流水,如时间的痕迹。展出时,我将这条时间的水流悬挂在空中。同时,我将这组照片做成了记忆卡片游戏,如下图所示。这套记忆卡片难度非常高,需要玩家全力集中注意力去观察每一个细节上的区别。这种对于细节的深度观察带给观察者某些更深层次的东西——长时间的努力观看和强迫式的记忆,图像将以某种超验的方式穿过我们的身体,停留在我们的记忆中——观看即是转化。
