Memoir: Family History
记忆空间
2021-2024
在探索家族历史的过程中，艺术家将记忆视为一种空间的存在。通过不断回溯和寻找家族的过往，记忆在不断的拆解与重组中被重新塑造。相同的事件或人物，从不同的叙述者口中传达出来时，展现出截然不同的面貌。这些记忆片段在不同的顺序与结构中交织，形成了一个流动、动态、永不停歇的记忆图景。
艺术家借用积木这一具象符号——既是建筑模型，也是儿童玩具——创作了一套定制的积木，结合自己与祖父拍摄的影像。这一选择，既是对儿时记忆的回归，也是一种对其重新构建的尝试。积木的不断坍塌与重组，象征着记忆的无穷变化与实验性。即便是同一套积木，也能通过不同的拼接展现出无数种不同的形式，唤起了记忆本身无界限与流动性的特质。
In the process of exploring family history, the artist conceptualizes memory as a spatial entity. Through the act of recalling and searching for familial recollections, memory is continually deconstructed, reassembled, and reformed. The recollections of the same events or individuals, when spoken by different voices, take on divergent forms. These fragments are woven together in varied sequences and structures, giving rise to a memory that is fluid, dynamic, and ever-evolving.
Inspired by the dual nature of building blocks as both architectural models and children’s toys, the artist crafted a custom set using images captured by themselves and their grandfather. This choice reflects a return to and reconfiguration of childhood memories. The continuous collapse and reformation of the blocks symbolizes an infinite process of experimentation. Even a single set of blocks can be rearranged into countless configurations, evoking the boundless and mutable nature of memory itself.
