Traffic, 2013

交通

site-specific installation

cordon tapes, exit signs, white spray paint, black tapes, luminescent wires (in red, yellow and green), fishing lines, worn shoes
dimensions variable
​accompanied by soundtrack:
I intended to create a site of "dramatic" happening(s): It has both an inside and an outside. Its entrances and exits lurk randomly instead of being arranged in order. It is beyond explanation whether what one sees on this site have already happened, are happening, or are going to happen. Stimulating and calming at once, the site intrigues anxiety, but it also comforts.
The sunlight through the window glass is divided by the tapes and projected to the floor (occasionally to the walls). The projection resembles a zebra crossing that moves with time, indicating the instability of direction and "solution" (if crossing the street counts as a "solution"), like a moving clock hand.
The yellow light that often implies transition in traffic lights, is here set to be constantly on. On the contrary, the red and green lights switch on only as one passes by and makes sound. In this setting of suspension, emphases go to "hesitation" and "the yet-to-be-decided".
​
我试图制造一个“有戏”的事件(群)现场:它既有内部又有外部;它的入口与出口埋伏各处而非确定;现场的一切无法说清它们是已经发生、正在发生还是即将发生;它冲动又冷静,使人焦灼也给人安慰。
​阳光透过被胶带分割的窗玻璃,在地面(有时是墙面)上投影出随时间移动的斑马线,像时针般指示着方向与“解决”(如果说过马路是一种“解决”)的变动不居。
在交通灯中示意过渡的黄灯在这里被设置为常亮,红灯和绿灯才会随人的响动而间歇亮起——“犹豫”与“不决”在这个悬置的场景中被强调。
