    时间之嘴吞噬的都是它自己的尾巴

     

    2015 , 六频录像 , 4’33’’

     

     

    自90年代开始,随着中国经济加速,“拆迁”作为城市变迁中无法避免的一个现象,成为激化社会的矛盾的话题。我在面对“拆迁”问题时,一直警惕表面化地简单挪用现实,使自己去面对复杂而深刻的社会问题,理解到其背后是矛盾的观念、复杂的情绪并存。

    《时间之嘴吞噬的都是它自己的尾巴》作为我个人对于“拆迁”问题认识的阶段性总结作品,秉持着复杂且深入的意识形态进行,把拆迁现场当成社会剧场,选择使用多频录像来表现近年间我对于中国拆迁现状的思考:既是反对暴力的、反对非协商的,一方面对国家和资本主义的合谋,地方政府和开发商的同谋的反抗,另一方面是对城市化建设必然性的理解。

    六频录像代表的是六个角色,分别是区长、旧城、钉子户、房地产商、自媒体和风水先生,它们共同构成一部现代化进程中的城市剧场。

     

    六个角色皆为超现实或魔幻的表现手法演绎。

    钉子户:一栋废墟中的钉子户被几辆玩具铲车包围、进攻。

    区长:一个7岁小朋友扮演的区长自娱自乐的玩一些小游戏,比如搭积木、剪彩等。

    房地产商:一只小黄鸭漫步在苯板做的房地产沙盘,沙盘上遍布的都是房地产的宣传广告语。

    旧城:石膏翻制的旧物林立,仿佛城市中的旧楼房,在夜间逐个爆破。

    风水先生:一位风水先生拿着罗盘对着一处废墟讲风水。

    自媒体:微信墙实时转播,全国各地的人都可以参与谈论“拆迁”问题。

     

     

     

    The Time Will Swallows Its Own Tail 

     

    2015 , Six -Channel Video ,4’33’’

     

    Since the 1990s, with the acceleration of China's economy, "demolition", as an unavoidable phenomenon in the process of urban change, has become a topic that intensifies social contradictions. In the face of the "demolition" problem, I have always been wary of the superficial simple appropriation of reality, so that I can face complex and profound social problems, and understand that behind it is the coexistence of contradictory ideas and complex emotions.

    As a phased summary of my understanding of "demolition", "The Mouth of Time swallows its own Tail" is carried out in a complex and in-depth ideology, treating the demolition site as a social theater, and choosing to use multi-frequency video to express my thinking on the current situation of demolition in China in recent years: It is not only against violence, against non-negotiation, on the one hand, against the collusion of the state and capitalism, the complicity of local government and developers, on the other hand, it is to understand the inevitability of urbanization construction.

    The six-frequency video represents six characters, namely the district chief, the old city, the nail house, the real estate dealer, the we-media and the Feng shui master, which together constitute an urban theater in the process of modernization.

     

    All six characters are surreal or magical expressions.

    Nail householder: A nail householder surrounded by ruins is attacked by several toy forklift.

    District director: A 7-year-old “district director” is entertaining himself by playing games, building-block, ribbon-cutting, etc.

    Real estate developers: Among the advertising slogans sticking on a sandbox built on a benzene

    board, an innocent yellow duck is walking around.

    Dilapidated city : Gypsum reproduction of some old stuff alludes to the former territories of the city, exploding one by one late at night.

    Augur: A augur was talking about the feng shui while holding a compass amid the ruins.

    We-Media: Media users all over the world are discussing the demolition of the former territories via Wechat.
