Endless Night

Night is both an abstract concept and a daily, natural phenomenon. With an imaginative approach and from a
“romantic-minimalist’s” point of view, it materialises and explores “night” and the related phenomena of
ever-changing darkness, shadow, dream, silence and loneliness.

A bubble ‘Dreamer’ is hung from the ceiling. A twelve-meter long ‘water container’ contains ‘Night’ as black ink.
It also represents the three dimensional ‘shadow’ of the ‘Dreamer’. A water droplet is released every few seconds
onto the water surface. It evokes ripples. A recorded sound of water droplet from ‘a water tap in the midnight’
was broadcasted concurrently throughout the show period.

The ‘black’ elements in the physical set up allowed instances of ‘black-out’ moments within the identifiable
architectural features, creating “optical darkness” in an environment with on-going happenings at all time.

夜未央

梦的深渊里,

谁吹起了泡泡?

是自己也无法看清的存在。

是单薄影子,

循着向下梯级,

铺展出夜的深度。

失落的,

是未央夜里,

不经意的涟漪里,

的一抹暗色。

 

雕塑作品‘夜未央’的起念,在于对一个‘想法’或是一个抽象的‘夜’所进行的具体质量化和具体体量化的三维空间
表述。黑色实体作品的存在创造了‘视觉黑洞’,让人看见又看不清,侵占视觉空间。悠忽间断的水滴声,
让人听见又听不清,偷袭心灵空间。映照在不断重叠和转变的实境与梦境之间的,
是观者内心里那一抹等待着的暗色。

策展人说,这么纯粹的黑色作品方案,未曾执行过。如何打造一个十二米长,两米高,灌满如墨夜色的影子
更具挑战。这使如何完美的贯彻‘夜未央’里的‘黑’,‘夜’,‘夜色’,‘影’等的多层次视觉呈现,如何给于现场观者
全新的视觉和心灵上的体验,更显意义。
