前言 Foreword:

艺术家黎晓亮的创作以摄影为基础,以及影像和装置的媒介实践。此次个展《旅客》将呈现黎晓亮自2021年至2024年的最新摄影项目《融化的蜡》,以及数个长达近十年的持续性系列创作。

通过题材上的关联性,黎晓亮将摄影与装置进行并置,编排了一个基于影像语言的表演性现场。停车场的油漆痕迹、藏区的新房子、世界各地的街道与行人,还有拍摄于现实场景并再次进行数据生成的图像,这些源自日常生活的切面呈现出一个具有普遍性的中间状态。戏剧性的空间呈现则模糊了想象与现实的边界。与此同时,无论是名人、独立音乐人、还是在北京的外籍模特,这些不同类型的文化创作者的生活现场成为了展览的另一条脉络。它探讨了公共与私人空间的难以区分,传递出一种不确定的、脆弱的个体困境。

无论是人物肖像,还是对自然地貌和日常生活的记录,黎晓亮的创作试图去捕捉原始样貌、记忆留存与缺失之间的知觉松动。在每一种看似程式化的模式框架下,黎晓亮始终以弱干预的方式让图与景的自然生成,或是忠实地被记录,作为客体的对象由此在图像中得以解放。日常秩序下的戏剧性也随之溢出,流动在现实和虚构、记录与想象之间的旅途中。

 

Artist Alexvi's creative repertoire spans photography, video, and installation art. In the upcoming solo exhibition, "Travellers,"Alexvi will unveil his latest photographic project, "Melting Wax," developed from 2021 to 2024, alongside a collection of ongoing series spanning nearly a decade.

Alexvi weaves together photography and installation art, crafting performative scenes that delve into the language of video. His compositions capture fragments of daily life – from paint traces in parking lots to the emergence of new dwellings in Tibetan regions, bustling streets, and diverse pedestrians worldwide. These snapshots, drawn from real-life encounters and data-generated imagery, reflect a transitional state with universal resonance. Through dramatic spatial arrangements, Alexvi blurs the lines between reality and imagination, inviting viewers to ponder the ambiguous intersections of public and private domains.Simultaneously, the exhibition delves into the lives of various cultural figures – celebrities, indie musicians, foreign models in Beijing – intertwining their narratives with the broader thematic exploration. It probes the complexities of distinguishing between public and private spheres, reflecting on the precariousness of individual identity within contemporary society.

Within his portraits and depictions of natural landscapes and everyday occurrences, Alexviexplores the nuanced interplay between initial impressions, recollection, and absence. Amidst seemingly structured frameworks, he introduces subtle interventions, allowing images and scenes to unfold naturally or faithfully recording them, thereby emancipating the subject from mere representation. The exhibition's narrative traverses the realms of reality and fiction, documentation and imagination, revealing the underlying drama inherent in the mundane.
