作品介绍
「黄金墓」是艺术家对自身成长经历的剖析，也是她对于普遍存在的家庭关系、亲情本质及其对人生深远影响的质询。在爱的名义下，我们如何面对那些难以言说的伤痛？在家庭桎梏与自由追求的张力之间，自我将被如何塑造？
作品采用策展性思维，改变叙事的线性逻辑，通过照片档案、纪实摄影以及短片在白色空间中巧妙陈列，在物理层面上模糊了过去与现在的界限。艺术家将强烈的情感转化为冷静但具有强大冲击力的视觉语言。她运用影像与文字表现出对过往伤痛的控诉与缅怀。
Statement
Golden Grave is an introspective analysis of the artist's own upbringing, as well as a broader inquiry into the nature of familial relationships, the essence of kinship, and their profound impact on one’s life. Under the guise of love, how do we confront those unspoken wounds? Amid the tension between familial constraints and the pursuit of freedom, how is the self shaped?
The work employs curatorial thinking, disrupting linear narratives through a deliberate arrangement of photographic archives, documentary photography, and short films within a white space, physically blurring the boundaries between past and present. The artist transforms intense emotions into a calm yet powerfully striking visual language, using both imagery and text to express a denunciation and commemoration of past traumas.
