前言 Foreword:

在这个世界里穿行,首先需要承认时间不是线性的,而是一张错综复杂的网。颜料被肆意铺开,偶尔滴淌下来,想去缠绕住极速飞跃的光线。而光却不甘心被桎梏,它们还要去照耀舞蹈的人。那是一些想要冲开一切的人,他们的唯一希望,就是成为拥有自由意志的永恒穿行者。

创造精神图像是穿行者的职责,图像是时间的残影、记忆的碎片,是光束穿梭的路线、色彩斑驳的痕迹。其中记录的情节与情绪,一次又一次地被承载它们的媒介重新唤醒,因而获得了涌动着的激荡生命,于是历史的回声、未来的预兆以及现实的倒影,都汇集到了这里,被穿行逡巡的人们所汲取、吸收和消化。

时间的跃动也使空间得到重新定义,每一块被光和色分割的形状,都幻化成一个独立的世界。空间不再是限制图形的框架,而是无限生发的结构。各种古老的、新奇的、不可思议的,在这里以新的意义被整合起来,重建为当下生活空间中活生生的事件。传统和现代、经典和流行、东方和西方之间的界限与隔阂也变得不再明朗。

在展览《穿行》中,罗丹便是那一位虔诚的穿行者,以喃喃自语倾诉他生活过和奔走过的旅程。这些言语最终在媒介的反复实验中被凝缩为图像文本,其内容也被不断剖析、拆解,再封存为收纳集体记忆的档案,供观看的人们翻阅、回忆和思考。


In this world, transcending requires first acknowledging that time is not linear, but rather an intricate web. Paint is spread wantonly, occasionally dripping down, seeking to entwine the swiftly leaping rays of light. Yet, light resists being ensnared; it must continue to illuminate those who dance. These are the individuals who strive to break free from all constraints, their sole aspiration being to become eternal transcender with free will.

Creating mental images is the duty of these transcenders. These images are the remnants of time, fragments of memory, the paths of light beams, and the mottled traces of color. The narratives and emotions recorded within them are repeatedly awakened by the media that bear them, thus gaining a pulsating life force. Consequently, echoes of history, omens of the future, and reflections of reality converge here, absorbed, assimilated, and digested by those who transcend.

The leaps of time also redefine space. Each shape segmented by light and color transforms into an independent world. Space is no longer the restrictive frame of forms but an infinitely proliferating structure. Various ancient, novel, and incredible elements are integrated here with new meanings, reconstructed as vivid events in the contemporary living space. The boundaries and barriers between tradition and modernity, the classical and the popular, the East and the West, become blurred.

In the exhibition "Transcendence", Luo Dan epitomizes the devout transcender, murmuring about his journeys and experiences. These words eventually condense into visual texts through repeated experimentation with media. The content is continually analyzed, deconstructed, and then archived as collective memory, inviting viewers to browse, recall, and ponder.
