Situational Anomie in 4’50
Performance /video 4’50
2018
This work employs dancing, photography, videography, and other materials. By using “snapshots” to interact with various real scenes, the work encodes the real-time into the virtual timeline, links multiple independent events together, in order to reveal how, within 4’5’’, a booth photo printed at the underground station manages to maximize its value in an art museum. The work intends to discuss how the value of the same object varies with different situations, as well as the meaning of the work of art.
In this work, I symbolize my personal figure and make it interact with the institution of art. I bring my photograph printed at an underground station into an art fair, which makes it, in the shortest period, become a work of art. I use the camera to record the whole process, including multiple stops on the way to the art museum: the photo was put on the ruins of the demolished houses; in the basket of a shared bicycle; and so on. Each scene creates a unique situation with the photo, while the value of the photo varies with the movements.
In the end, I put my photo inside an art museum, where public participation grants the value of contemplation to it. Thereby, the value of the photo is maximized in the art fair.
Ironically, through my editing, it seems that it only takes 4’5’’ to print the photo and send it to the fair. During this time, the real-time and the virtual timeline are reshuffled. Virtual time breaks reality and creates new acts.
在该作品中,将个人形象符号化与艺术体系发生反应,把个人从地铁站打印的快照带入艺术博览会中使其成为在最短的时间内成为一件艺术品。
因为照片在前往美术馆的途中经过的多个地点中的不同状态,而每一个场景都与这张照片产生了一个独有的情境,照片在每个情境中的价值属性也在悄然变化,而最终快照由于观众的参与使得它具有了被观赏的价值的同时也在艺术博览会中得到了观看价值的最大化。
行为本身被重新重组,在数字端中截取每个场景被凝视的有效时间,整个过程只需要4分50秒,在观众可见的4分50秒内,现实时间的变迁与虚拟计时数字的流动被充分解构,虚拟时间割裂了现实场景,生成了新的行为。
