时间鸿爪雪泥录像录像装置
两个面对面的投影，一面是在同一处风景中留影的不同的人，高速地切换；对面则是艺术家在世界各地不同的风景中，风景不停地旋转，缓慢地叠换。一面是“物是人非”，另一面是“人物依旧，江山易主”。二者形成了—种中国对联式的对偶关系，也发出了中国式的“鸿瓜雪泥”的人生感喟。
Landscapes 1999
Two face to face reflections are shown. One reflection is about the same scenery with different people taking pictures and flickers in high speed; one the opposite side, the artist is in different scenes in the world and the scenes are constantly going around and are covered gradually. One side indicates the same scene with different people and the other indicates the same person with different backgrounds. The two creates a antithesis of the Chinese couplet and also expresses the Sinitic sentiment.
In the video-installation in title "Landscape", Two face to face monitors are shown. One of them is about the same scenery with different people taking pictures and flickers in high speed; on the opposite side, the artist is in different scenes in the world and the scenes are constantly going around and are covered gradually. One side indicates the same scene with different people and the other indicates the same person with different backgrounds. The two creates a antithesis of the Chinese couplet and also expresses the Sinitic sentiment about how a person in existence in the world.一fluky, unpredictable and the transformation, must be accepted as the fate of human being, as well as the nature of the world. Sometimes people travel in the world one by one, generation by generation, the subjects are always change, only the scene still exist there as a arena, looks like forever there. But on the other side, in the memory of the subject, the different scenes just short vision coming and going one by one. The couplet, is a important form in Chinese literature and visual culture-in the poem, in design, in the pattern of architecture, the most typical form is the calligraphy on red paper, put on the two sides besides the door.
In this video-installation I rebuild the tradition form and give it a new meaning on how to use a image of new medial.
