Statement 作品简介
This project is a performative experiment exploring alternatively affective connections between humans and “nature”. Wandering around as an entry point, the sensory experiences emerge from my visits to the mountain forest of Ningbo (China) from the city. The images I projected create a threshold space for the body entanglements between the isolated trees and the human being. Utilizing a translucent gauze as an anchor, the fluid body movements in the encounter with the projections of the city trees, bring out the mutual dialogues between the isolated living beings that struggle against the conflicts between running from the city and the coming for the “nature”.
该行为表演以人在自然与城市之间情感徘徊作为剖面，探索人与自然共情连接的方式。选取了艺术家熟悉的一处山林，用纱布投影创造了一处阈限空间，试图打开被城市禁锢起来的树（人）与自然山林相遇的冲突与对话的过程。

The body of the performer is the medium of interacting and communicating with the land. As the images switch on the gauze, I either prostrate myself on all fours or lower myself to whisper with the leaves, stones, and withered trunks of the trees, and the spiritual connection to the plants flows and intertwines with each other during the process of the physical contact that occurs. The work tries to explore how people as individuals connect with nature spiritually, attempts to re-frame “intimacy” and “strangeness” in the relationship, and raises the issue of the instability of mutual transformation of the conflicting identities of the invaders and the aborigines, as well as opens the audience’s mind about the proximity between seeing and “happening.”
影像所记录下的表演者将身体作为媒介，与这片土地进行互动和交流。随着影像在纱布上的切换，我与山林互相缠绕。或四肢匍匐地与叶子、石头、枯萎的树干发生肢体接触，或和植物进行情感的连接。该作品试图探索当人作为个体如何从精神上与自然产生连接，试图重新定义关系中的“亲密”与“陌生”。观者对于该事件 的”发生”与“旁观”的思考，是否意味着人类与自然关于“入侵者”和“原住民”的身份对立的不稳定？
