沉静与诱导之间 BETWEEN CALMNESS AND SEDUCTION

天线空间 Antenna Space 2014

这是一个跨度两年的个人项目，项目的出处来自我对自然与建筑以及我生活的这个城市的兴趣。其中穿插了多条线索，一部分是我设计了几个现代建筑观感的鸟窝并且把他们挂在树上等待鸟的到来的影片以及图片，还有几个小型雕塑。同时也有对现代建筑史的引用而制作的素描与装置。最后还有两组摄影作品，他们来自于对熟悉的环境的即兴反应。

In 2013, I undertook a solo project titled Between Calmnness and Seduction, which took two years to complete and taught me a new approach to working and employing research methods in my creative practice. This approach involves acknowledging the necessity of cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral information about man and urban architecture as well as natural environments, and the project eventually showcases a re-creation based on documents and materials on modern architectural history while transforming my perceptual knowledge of the subject into video and sculptural works through in-field art experiments.

在这个项目中，我展开了对于现代城市发展的个人化研究。这一研究的起点来自于上海城区生活的经验。在我所身处的城区能够切身体察到城市发展与人的需求之间互相抗衡生长的复杂关系。甚至从某种程度上城市中的人被迫与环境妥协，或者说被城市形塑。在这里我并非想赞美人的坚韧，而是思考这一关系形成的本末。从建筑史的角度，我们会发现现代城市的规划与布局有其理性的脉络。这一脉络带我们回到19世纪末的欧洲，由于产业工人的聚集与城市配套设施的落后所产生的矛盾使得英国政府率先开始对未来城市作出展望与规划。英国建筑师Ebnezer Howard于1902年修订再版的《明日花园之城》便是这一规划下的研究成果。在书中EH对人与环境做出了客观理性的分析，同时提出了明确的未来城市规划与设计模型。其后，这一模型被广泛实践于欧美。EH的理论中心是人，以人的需求为城市规划的基本出发点。这无疑对野蛮扩张的权利+资本+计划经济的中国城市发展是一种极有价值的参照。而根本上这一区分体现了不同的价值观，这一价值观的分化使得我们与世界始终不在同一交谈的维度之上。 在项目《沉静与诱导之间》中我设计了一个“游戏”，为留鸟制作具有现代建筑特征的鸟窝，并把它们悬挂于树稍，用摄像机记录一年中的变化。飞鸟的生理基因决定了它们不会居住于我的鸟窝，这也便是这一游戏的悖论。四季变换，鸟群来去，孤独的悬于树干的鸟窝在阳光下闪烁着迷人的色彩，然而只给观看的人。 《另一种历史-明日之城的描摹》是一幅素描作品，我将Ebnezer Howard书中所做的图形分析用铅笔重新描摹了一遍，作为项目开启的“引子”，同样为观看的人。

In this project I have developed a personal study of modern urban development. The starting point for this research is the experience of living in urban Shanghai. In my own city, I have been able to experience the complex relationship between urban development and the needs of people who are shaped by the city as well as shaping it. My purpose here is not to celebrate the resilience of people, but to reflect on the origins of this relationship. From the perspective of architectural history, we find that the planning and design of the modern city has a rational lineage. This lineage takes me back to the late 19th century in Europe, where the contradiction between the concentration of industrial workers and the backwardness of urban amenities led the British government to take the lead in envisioning and planning the future of the city. British architect Ebnezer Howard's 1902 revision and reprint of The Garden City of Tomorrow is the result of this planning. In this book, E.H presents an objective and rational analysis of man and the environment, as well as a clear model for future urban planning and design. His theory focuses on people and their needs as the fundamental starting point for urban planning. This is undoubtedly a valuable reference for the brutal expansion of the power+capital+planned economy of China's urban development.

Another History - A Facsimile of Garden Cities of Tomorrow by Ebnezer Howard is a sketch in which I reproduce in pencil the graphic analysis in Ebnezer Howard's book, as an 'intro' to my project.

等一只鸟 Waiting for a Bird / 单屏录像 Single-Channel Video 11'14''

《等一只鸟 》是一部记录短片。影片记录了我开始于13年夏终结于14年春的一次自然实验。这一实验更确切的说是一次一厢情愿与鸟进行的游戏。我将两个由彩色有机玻璃制作的带有现代建筑特征的鸟窝悬挂于工作室外的水杉树上，等待鸟的入住。摄影机记录了这一时间轴上自然的演变，多维度的声音提示着城市的生动与落魄。鸟儿在画面中永生，而建筑却逐渐老去。

Based on the characteristics of modern architecture, I made a series of bird's nest. The observation process which lasts for a year was document by video.
