Mixed media on board

2018


《日记》以探索记忆的多层次性为核心,批判当代社交媒体将个人化的日记美化和分享的现象,认为这是一种对记忆和个人性的背叛。作品试图通过更真实的记录方式,呈现生活的痕迹,拒绝被修饰的记忆表达。从数据线、机票到销售小票,每一天的生活碎片都被收集并一层层贴在板子上,经过时间的打磨和加工,形成最终的作品。这一打磨过程象征了记忆本身的飘忽不定和不可控,呼应了世界本质上被压缩在一个多层维度中而无法被完全获取的真实状态。


Diary centers on the exploration of memory’s multi-layered nature while critiquing the contemporary social media trend of beautifying and sharing personal diaries—a practice I regard as a betrayal of both memory and individuality. The work strives to record life in a more authentic manner, presenting the traces of everyday existence while rejecting overly mediated or embellished recollections. Everyday fragments—from data cables and airline tickets to sales receipts—are meticulously collected and layered upon a board. This gradual process of accumulation and transformation symbolizes the inherent elusiveness and uncontrollability of memory, echoing the notion that reality is compressed into multifaceted dimensions that resist complete capture.
