Corridor of Body






作品从行走出发,我们在行走中感知身体和精神与世界建立的亲密链接。

The work starts from walking,  a process through which we perceive the intimate relationship between the body and the spirit and the world.

身体被看作是精神世界与客观世界的边界和媒介,通过通感和感知建立与宇宙的联系。作品是对身体的一场“解剖”。不是关于身体内的器官,而是看到精神、感知、意识等和宇宙相关的神秘力量如何在身体内部流动,并且想要努力逃脱外部抽象的、白色边界的束缚。

The body is seen as the boundary and medium between the spiritual realm and the objective world, establishing a connection with the universe through empathy and perception. The work serves as an "anatomy" of the corporeal experience, not focusing on its internal organs but exploring how the mysterious forces of spirit, perception, and consciousness, interconnected to the universe, operate within the body and try to escape from the boundary itself.


通常情况下,建筑是一个为人类创造封闭环境的学科,人类将自己与外部世界隔绝开来,让雨水可以被排除在外,让空调可以在内部循环。在建筑的图纸上,所有出现的线条都是闭合的曲线。进入一个建筑,即是一个从外部进入内部的时刻,一个内外坍塌的瞬间。在这一系列作品中,作品记录了身体穿梭于不同空间、跨入门槛、穿过边界的时刻,麻木的、虔诚的、痛苦的。

Typically, architecture is a discipline serves to create enclosures for human beings, who isolate themselves from the outside world so that rainwater can be excluded and air conditioning can circulate inside a building envelope. In the architectural drawings, all the lines are closed curves. To enter a building is to enter a moment when the outside collapses into the inside. The work visualizes the moment of crossing a threshold. The drawing is a transition of the experience of the moving body from space to space, the moving body is the numb body, the awaking body of resistance, the body crossover the threshold, and the enlightened body.









作品捕捉行走中身体穿越边界转瞬即逝的偶然状态,内部的身体经验叠加着感知和精神的颗粒,外部的身体边界被物质世界的表象亲密地包裹。身体像一个笔刷在不同空间中一遍又一遍地行走和涂抹,与外部世界不断发生着交换、形变和扭曲。

The work captures the momentary contingency of the body traveling through spaces, where the internal bodily experience is overlaid with particles of perception and spirituality, and the external bodily boundary is intimately wrapped in the appearance of the material world. The body is like a brush walking and painting over and over again in space, constantly exchanging, deforming and distorting with the external world.







我们看到身体和体验的内部,看到身体如何感受空间,看到意识的空间形态。

We see inside the experience, and witness how the body senses and perceives space and how our attention and consciousness negotiate with the transition from space to space, representing a spatial form to our awakening consciousness.
