the Past Future Geography

"这个‘世界’的终结正如它的起始:和我们一起。

This 'word' ends as it begains : with us."

—《The Holy See》

《过去的未来· 地理志》是一组以陶瓷为主要材料的雕塑群。我用大陆漂移学说里板块运动的一些基本法则作为框架,将我个人真实的经历与超意识之间的关联进行合成并压缩进去,尝试模拟出的2亿年后的大陆板块所形成的微缩景观。

 

"The Geography of The Past Future" exhibited this time features a group of sculptures with ceramics as the main material. By applying some basic laws of plate movement in the continental drift theory as a framework, I synthesized my personal experience with the connections between super consciousnesses, and incorporated it into my work in an effort to simulate the miniature landscape constituted by the continental plates 200 million years later.

每块板块造型根据大陆漂移学说,以2.5亿年后的地球板块为原型。如下图所示,分别为大陆漂移未来板块图(图片源自网络),以及作品中各个板块的原始分割图模版

 

The shape of each "continental plate" is based on the theory of continental drift, taking the Earth plate 250 million years later as the prototype. As shown in the following figure, there are future plate maps of continental drift (images sourced from the network).

在作品的具体呈现上我选择了陶瓷,并在景德镇国际工作室进行了为期三个月的驻场创作。陶瓷所特有的泥土性有机特质,以及釉在窑火中丰富的变化,让我所设想的造型在落地成型的过程中,自发产生了生成与演变的意义,最终呈现出这组具有魔幻奇志气质的“未来”地质。

 

Deciding upon ceramics as the media to present my work, I conducted a three-month artist- in-residence program in Jingdezhen International Studio. The unique characteristics of the earthy and organic ceramics and the multiple changes of glaze in the kiln allowed the models in my mind to spontaneously produce the meaning of generation and evolution upon being finished, and finally presenting this series of "future" geology with magical and legendary temperament .

这个作品属于《过去的未来》系列,灵感源于我在冰岛进行徒步期间的幻觉体验。 那时我经常辗转于各种不同的地貌之间,黑色的沙滩,冒着硫磺气的荒野,... 居所之外便是连绵的山脊,我走了很多遍,记得当时下意识地总想寻找些什么,感觉下一步就可以看到答案。那时是极昼,太阳并不落山,而是围着山峰 环绕。徒步山峦之间时,每次抬头,总会看见它悬在山的不同地方,像个观察者,盯着在地景上移动的我,如同盯着在无边的丘陵中爬行的蚂蚁。

 

我带着那道视线前行,它一直追随着我,直到潜意识的深处,即使在我回归城市之后,那圆形的光斑并未黯淡,而是常常从我脑海中闪现,飘荡,扩大,山体和星球从中浮出,它们交叉游动着,融为一体...这些画面和情感持续积压着,成为了《过去的未来》系列的创作契机。去年我完成了《过去的未来》系列中的《模糊风景》,它所探索的是模糊景观的体验。接着在《地理志》的创作中,我开始尝试用偏理性的框架,即地理志的逻辑,去呈现那些我曾经经历过的,却难以明证的图景,那些透过现实的窗又所感知到的无数穿越的事物, 超意识与现实所交织的缝隙。

 

As part of “The Past Future" series, this work was inspired by my hallucinatory experience when hiking in Iceland. Back then, I often traveled between various landforms, including black sand beaches and wilderness permeated with sulphurous fume ... Outside my residence were rolling ridges, where I hiked many times. I remember I was constantly looking for something subconsciously carrying the intuition that I might spot the answer in the next step. Since it was the polar day then, the sun revolved around the mountain peak rather than setting behind it. Each time I looked up as I was hiking in the mountains, I saw the sun hanging in different places of the mountain, staring at me moving on the landscape like an observer, as if gazing at ants crawling in the boundless hills.

 

I proceeded with that sight, and it followed me to the depths of my subconscious. Even when I returned to the city, the rounded light spot never dimmed; instead, it often flashed in my mind, drifting and expanding. Mountains and planets emerged from it, swimming crosswise and merging into one... These images and emotions continued to accumulate, giving rise to the occasion to create "The Past Future" series. Last year I completed "The Blurred Landscape" as part of this series, which explored my experience with the blurred landscapes. In the subsequent creation of “The Geography”, I began to try a more rational framework, that was, the logic of geography, to present the scenes that I had experienced yet were hard to prove, the countless transient things that were perceived via way of reality, as well as the gap intertwined by superconsciousness and reality.

 

亲爱的K,

我们已经很久没有聊聊天了,你还好吗?

 

这里现在是午夜。

我依然无法入睡,

可能是酒喝得还不够多。

 

这段时间,我总是出去徒步,

一样的山脊,

反反复复走了很多很多遍,还是找不到那天看到的东西。

 

我曾经对你描述过它,却总是无法详尽,这让我感到窒息,它就压在我喉咙里。

如果有可能,我真想把那次看到的奇迹直接搬进你的脑子。

 

/

 

亲爱的D,我想,我应该知道你看到了什么。我们之间虽然并不了解,但是能震撼到我们的东西总是惊人的一致。

确实,我们很久没有交流了,每次你感觉并不是很好的时候,才会想到我。

你说你无法入睡,而我却睡了很久。手术应该算是成功了吧,除了记忆开始出现一些断层。

例如,朋友和我讲话的时候,我常常接不上。有时,事情做到一半,我会突然恍惚自己在做什么。还有很多你曾经对我讲过的故事,它们开始褪色了,细节变得模糊起来。

但,这些都是小问题,不影响生活。

也不用担心:我俩共同掩盖的那些事也不会漏馅

 

/

 

K,对不起

很抱歉你经历了那些。

我本来可以更加小心,避免它们的发生。可是,我当时真的停不下来!你能理解的,对不对?

我总觉得再走远一点,再高一点,再多寻找一会,就能找到它了。

我总这么想着,我只要仰面躺下,就感觉耳边喧嚣四起,身下一片虚空…

我无法安静下来,周而复始。

 

/

 

D,不用道歉,我并不会责备你。相反,那次事件让我领悟到了一些东西,超越了我可以理解的范畴。

你知道吗?我最近常常在房间里看到太阳,或者,它们只是一些光斑。可能因为在当时,我盯着太阳,盯得看太久了。

不,更准确的讲,是太阳在看着我,看着我往下掉。

坠落的时候,我是仰面的,

身旁所有的东西都快速地变化着,风驰电掣,而我所直面的太阳,是那刻唯一稳定不变的东西。

它就在那里,我知道它在看着我。我也一直盯着它。

那瞬间,我意识到自己四肢乱舞的样子一定很可笑,会不会像一只被冲进下水道的蟑螂?我感到羞愧,于是,我不慌了,我平静了下来,周围也安静下来,时间变得浓稠…

很久很久,一直在坠落着…

 

原谅我记不起来后面到底发生了什么,我真的尽力了,但是脑子还是一片空白。就仿佛我总是想不起每个梦的开头。但是,这可不能怪我,对不对?正如你也记不起自己人生的开端和结尾。

 

D,你为什么一直不说话?是不是已经睡着了?那么关于这个话题到此为止吧。最后,我想告诉你的是,你要找却一直找不到的那个东西,我是见过的。

其实,你找的并不是它。对吗?你或许不会承认。我知道接受事实很难。但不管怎样,我已经欣然接受了这一切。

愿你也如此。

祝安眠。
