Immersive Video Installation
Exhibited at Turing Square, Shanghai, curated by RaidenINST
《圆心之梦》是一部由三幕组成的影像作品,包括“宇宙图景”、“时空长廊”和“沧海一瞬”。
该影片将圆形孔洞视为连接不同时空的象征,通过从“天文”到“地理”再到“人文”的三维度演变,构筑了东方宏大宇宙观。
影像叙事以历史投影方式,阐述宇宙从诞生到万物生长的演变,包括宇宙、银河、天球、山川、船只、漩涡、鱼群、日月等元素的交替出现。
作品既是探索东方美学,又试图描绘人类对宇宙未知的幻想和精神追求。
The Dream of Circle is a three-act visual work comprising ‘Cosmic Landscape,’ ‘Space-Time Corridor,’ and ‘A Moment in the Ocean.’ The film treats circular holes as symbols connecting different times and spaces, constructing a grand Eastern cosmology through a three-dimensional evolution from ‘astronomy’ to “geography” to ‘humanities.’ The visual narrative employs a historical projection technique to illustrate the evolution of the universe from its birth to the growth of all things, featuring the alternating appearance of elements such as the cosmos, the Milky Way, the celestial sphere, mountains and rivers, ships, whirlpools, schools of fish, and the sun and moon. The work not only explores Eastern aesthetics but also seeks to depict humanity's fantasies and spiritual pursuits regarding the unknown aspects of the universe.
