在风中 IN THE WIND 2016

四屏黑白影像作品《在风中》,以沉浸式的影像呈现了个体面临猛烈外力时的竭力挣扎,也是人类在风雨飘摇之中险情的暗喻。其中一屏影像对西西弗斯的新的阐释和塑造,通过在猛烈的风中肩负着轻重难辨的巨石的形象,勾勒出了在这个时代中“意义”系统失效的困境;另一屏则呈现了一个年老的背影和轻飘飘的童年玩具一同被风裹挟而去,我们目睹正在远去的旧时代和疾驰而来的新时代交错而过,承受着身处社会转型风暴中的复杂心理,试图去察觉和预示某种未来的状况……

Four-channel black-and-white video In the Wind(2016) consists of four surreal, relentless scenes. The endlessly shrill winds subsume all the suffering, misfit, loneliness and struggle of being, and become a metaphor for the uncertain and irretrievable destination of individuals in face of violent external forces. ‘Sisyphus’ Boulder’ allows a new interpretation of the myth of Sisyphus: the boulder he shoulders against the ferocious wind seems weightless, and his submission to the lithic absurdity of fate outlines the doubts we face within the suspension of our current meaning and signification system. Another projection depicts back of an old man with fluttering childhood balloons, surrounded by the formless wind, they walk away from the screen. We witness our previous eras passing away while the future gallops and arrives, standing within the center of a social transformation storm and beholding a complex mentality of being, we are trying to detect and predict a certain future situation
