Nowhere to meet horses 马场没有马
Shanghai 2021
Four Channel Video Installation
四通道视频装置
Nowhere to Meet the Horse is four-channel video installation, and the ideal exhibition set-up involves projecting human-sized images on four walls. The voice-over guides the video through an empty museum, exhibitions under construction, an art factory, and the bedrooms of art labourers. The audience is immersed in Shanghai's art industry space, which is a realm often overlooked by them. The recurring motif of the white box serves as a clue throughout the video, symbolising production space, living space, and exhibition space all at once. Through the metaphor of the "white box," I aim to reveal the relationship between invisible labour and creative production, shedding light on the "invisible boxes" that often escape the notice of art viewers.
《马场没有马》通过四通道的视频装置呈现,我试图将视觉影像转化成空间体验。画外音引导观众的视角穿过空荡荡的美术馆、正在布展的画廊、艺术工厂和工人的卧室,同时围绕临时、短暂的空间以及身体的存在如何重新构建和定义了空间展开讨论。在视频中白色立方体的形象反复出现,它被制作,被使用,被转移,同时也承载着工人的生产和生活。在这里“白盒子”作为隐喻,暗示着那些经常被艺术观众忽视的“生产空间”。
