Hymn to the Inanimate

DECEMEBER 2020
            A journey about inanimate objects, oranges and flowers are thrown into a liquid mist and enter a certain invisible realm. Water, this invisible and flowing medium, makes the still life that was originally stuck in one place curl up and stretch in its embrace. The light penetrates this liquid domain, and after repeated refraction and distortion, the orange color of the orange and the color of the flower alternate with each other. In this water, bubbles seep out from the surface of the object, and these inanimate existences begin to breathe in a certain way, and are the first cry of life.

Oranges and flowers float in this static and moving environment, no longer just representatives of still life, but begin their own short and blurred life. This is a self-exile of matter, a vague exploration of the boundary between life and inanimate, and a journey completed in a liquid dream. 


一场关于无生命物体的旅程，桔与花被投掷入一片液态的迷雾，进入了某种无形的领域。水，这种无形而流动的介质，使得原本固守于一处的静物在其怀抱中蜷缩与舒展，光线穿透这片液体之域，经过反复折射与扭曲，桔的橙色与花的色彩相互交替。在这水中，气泡自物体表面渗出，是这些无生命的存在开始了某种的呼吸，是生命的初啼。

桔与花漂浮在这静止与运动的环境，不再只是静物的代言，开始了他们自己短暂而迷离的生命。这是一场物质的自我流放，是对生命与无生命之间边界的模糊探索，一次在液体梦境中完成的旅途。
