Description:

"Leaves are flapping", the words in the artwork from my grandfather, the words summed up a state of blowing leaves. Dissociating the realistic presentation of the movement of the wind and the sound of leaves flapping, but generating a concept in people’s mind through the mechanical reproduction collection. From another aspect, my grandfather, a man nearly one hundred years old, is a farmer who really come from nature and rely on it, his life pattern has similarities in essence with "leaves are flapping", especially at the end of life, of the country, the elderly left in the countryside repeat the lonely experience every day and waiting for death, my grandfather is one of them. I create this piece of work to let him participate in my art creation, with his voice as the main body to interpret his life and his relationship with nature.

作品阐述:

    作品中“树叶在拍打”的话语来自我的爷爷,话语概括了风吹动树叶的一种状态。抽离出了风的运动和树叶的拍打声的写实呈现,而运用机械复制的话语集合在人的脑海中生成这一概念。从另一层面家乡年近百岁的爷爷是真正从自然中来,靠天吃饭的农民,他的人生规律跟“树叶在拍打”有本质上的契合点。更是在生命末期,乡村留守的老人每天经历重复的寂寞在等待死亡,爷爷也是他们的其中一位。我用这件作品让他参与到我的艺术创作之中,以他的声音为主体来诠释他的生活状态和他跟自然的关系。
