​Cube立方

As Lyle Rexer eloquently states, mirrors are a multiplication of existence or a reflection of abyss. One feels trapped within the mirrors, wandering between two images. Employing the technique of silver plate photography, a thin layer of silver-coated metal becomes the tangible image under light. However, do mirrors possess memories? Can they forget?

In the eyes of Plato, this type of visual perception is akin to shadows on a cave wall, copies of copies, while the original, singular, intangible, and non-visual form represents the ultimate goal of knowledge. Yet, we cannot escape the realm of illusory reproduction.

I have created five glass mirror cubes of different sizes and photographed them in diverse environments. On one hand, the richness of surface forms a multiplication of existence, while on the other hand, by creating a space that exists beyond the surface realm within the reflection's abyss, this power is negated. Each type of mirror carries its own history, supporters, and victims. We are acquainted with mirrors that possess generative and self-replicating characteristics, triggering questions of identity, illusion, and narcissism.

This art installation explores the concept of mirrors, as symbols that reflect reality and project our perceptions and fantasies onto the world. Mirrors play a pivotal role in our daily lives, evoking complex inquiries into self-awareness, authenticity, and representation. Through creative presentation and spatial arrangement, my intention is for viewers to experience the profound meanings concealed behind mirrors and to contemplate the impact of mirrors on our perception and cognition.

 

如同莱尔·雷克瑟所言,镜子是存在的倍增,或者是反射的深渊。人仿佛被困在镜子之中,在两个图像之间徘徊。

使用银版摄影技术,薄薄的镀银金属板在光线下成为真实的图像。

但是,镜子是否有记忆?它是否会忘记?

在柏拉图的眼中,这种类型的视觉就像岩壁上的影子,是副本的副本,而原始的、单一的、非物质的、非视觉的形式则是知识的最终目标。

然而,我们无法脱离幻觉性再现的领域。

我创作了五个不同尺寸的玻璃镜方块,并将它们置于不同的环境中进行拍摄。

一方面,通过丰富的表面形成了存在的倍增,而另一方面,通过在反射的深渊中创造一个不存在于表面空间的空间,否定了这种力量。每一种类型的镜子都有自己的历史、支持者和受害者。我们熟悉的是具有生成性和自我复制特性的镜子,它们引发了身份、幻觉和自恋等问题。

这个艺术装置探索了镜子的概念,镜子作为一个符号,既是现实的反映,又是我们对世界的投射和幻想。它在我们的日常生活中扮演着重要角色,引发了关于自我认知、真实性和表象的复杂问题。通过创造性的呈现和空间布置,我希望观者能够体验到镜子背后隐藏的深层意义,并思考镜子对我们的感知和认知的影响。
