2022 rambling art exhibition: what do I see through the photos?

I have seen many art exhibitions. After reading it before, my feelings lingered in my mind, but my vision entered my brain without leaving any written information.

Like breathing, quietly in and out, as if you have gained something, but as if you have left nothing. The state from nothing to something and then to nothing.

This time I watched Sanyingtang Boundless Art Exhibition and suddenly wanted to write something. The intervention of words may make nothingness itself less chaotic.

1 Qiqi

This time I mainly read Zhuang Zhe's Seven. As a member of Family Diary, the film festival, one of the main creations, is naturally looking forward to it.

The "July 7" series is a bit of Zhuang Zhe's seven-year filming of children's growth. 16 photos were selected from tens of thousands of photos, most of which were various close-ups of children.

In fact, most of these photos have been seen, but when they are edited together and presented in a big-screen exhibition, they will have different feelings.

I especially like a group in it. On the background picture of the thick trunk, a thin branch was pulled out in a particularly naughty way, and three photos were arranged on the branch in turn: a crib full of sunshine, a fleshy foot with small feet, and meatballs behind it.

The photos are arranged according to the growth of children, but there are no specific children's faces in them, which gives the viewer a good sense of substitution.

Carefully arranged small bed, as if you can hear the baby whispering in a quiet picture, or the mother humming nursery rhymes gently, because it is empty, feeling and association are more free.

Rourou's feet stood on tiptoe slightly, which may be the first time she learned this stunt. Think about how excited we were when the children first met.

Under the neat ball head, there are soft curly hair behind the ears, as if smelling the unique taste of children.

These bits and pieces have been experienced by every baby. Looking at the photos, we naturally think of our unconditional love for them when they were young.

However, when they grow up a little, this unconditional love seems to become particularly precious. Our unconscious comparisons, judgments and labels often make us forget to simply appreciate our children.

My brother is seven years old this year. I think he was so cute when he was a child, and now he is still a child.

It said that at the moment, I just want to wake him up tomorrow, not to urge him to move quickly, but to hug him well, touch his head and say, "Mom loves you very much."

This may be the meaning and power of family images.

2 undercurrent

What impressed me deeply was Yan Jialin's "Surge" series.

First of all, a puzzle attracted me. In a photo-printed puzzle, three people are missing.

When Omori saw it, he asked me doubtfully why I missed it. At that time, he naturally told him that they guessed that they had left.

Through this step, you can have a sense of * * * with photos without text introduction, and your thoughts are brought into some perceptual curiosity. Who are they? Is there any place in the photo where they once existed?

In this way, I saw the photos in my mood and then read the text introduction, which gave me a feeling of reading.

It seems that the warmth of the photographer after being photographed and cured has flowed into my heart, the heart of a strange, distant and extremely close person.

The three missing people are the photographer's uncle, grandfather and grandmother. Because she didn't see the last side, she had a strong regret and remorse. These unforgettable pains made her instinctively escape.

It was not until she read the view that "missing the dead will still make them live happily" in The Jade Bird that she began to face up to their departure, walk into their past and find precious feelings from the fetters.

I like the kind of pager that doesn't hang in the group picture. The drawstring extends quietly from the stand to the receiver, as if the other end is the world they once lived in. Just pick it up and you can talk to them again.

I like the woman looking up at the sky in the photo. There is a hand reaching into the sky in the upper right corner and a figure crouching by the lake in the lower left corner. Three photos naturally make me feel the same person, a daughter and a sister.

And this kind of distance, wanting to touch and bow, makes people think of the scene of Bozi looking up at the sky in the love letter, and that Bozi shouted at the mountain where Fujii tree left: "How are you?" I'm fine. "

Yes, I'm fine. I think this is the most powerful and precious gift for the dead and the living.

3 Infinite dreams

The most experienced is Yu Haocheng's infinite dream.

Personally, I like the experience of combining music, vision and installation, especially in a specific space, which can surround you in all directions, just like a baby in the womb. That small space is the whole world.

The main screen is surrounded by mirror design, which is just a metaphor for the idea of parallel universe expressed by the artist in the text description. He believes that dreams are the only way to a parallel world.

The content of dreams is the four elements of the West: water, fire, wind and earth. This leads to a question: the four elements constitute the world, and what does the so-called emptiness as the fifth element mean in it?

Let's talk about experience first. The pictures and sounds reflected by each element are very impactful. The only regret is the feeling of being in this empty space, just like you opened the door and entered another world.

I have seen the Infinite Mirror House in Yayoi Kusama, as if I had lost gravity and fallen into the stars of the universe. Once I am in it, I feel like a world in flowers.

Without this experience, Infinite Dream feels that the design can be improved, and it would be better if the details can be well controlled, such as the footprints mirrored on the ground, so you can wear shoes and visit again.

Of course, the whole is still very immersed, and you can follow the picture.

Finally, back to the creator's question, what is vanity or some ultimate form?

This question reminds me of the meaning of life.

For a while, I felt that life must be meaningful. However, the more I think about it, the more I fall into meaningless fantasies about life, and I am afraid.

When I was confused, I just read the Tao Te Ching, and Lao Tzu's "uselessness" made people realize.

A room, just because it is empty, achieves the purpose of other rooms.

A person's heart can be in a state of "empty cup" and "no self", so that he can abandon other ideas, not criticize the formed self, not be afraid of the heart that has not yet happened, and do well in the present.

So is life. It is precisely because there is no meaning that meaning is formed step by step.

4 looking for

Li Xuemeng's "Search" series is the most participatory.

There is a broken mirror in the middle of the gray-blue series. The middle of the mirror seems to have been hit by a bullet and split into five pieces. The true self is also like one of the divisions. You can look for yourself from different perspectives in the mirror.

Seeking and feeling is also a theme of life. But personally, I think this is an interesting and curious theme, and there is not so much gray-blue confusion.

Therefore, I participated in it with a fun attitude. If I want to set a tone for the search, I hope it is a twinkling star, printed in the river and hung high in the sky.

In addition to the above exhibition, there are many favorite artists' works, but there is not much thought left.

Put some photos around, let the feeling of that moment continue, cross time and space, and come to you like this.
