作品阐述

 

“海浪在拍打”是我在仁川驻留期间的创作,我提炼出“海浪在拍打”这句话,由本地的一位老渔民进行诉说,将自制两个载有高强度扩音设备的木筏,一个木筏在播放“树叶在拍打”,另外一个播放“海浪在拍打”,运用渔船把这两个木筏载入大海深处进行投放,让这两个声音在大海深处自由飘荡。两个声音将随着海浪的拍打一遍一遍的进行诉说,他们也同时在跟自然对话,在跟生活对话。这种对话是一种描述、询问与思考。    

放入大海中的两个声音,面对大海这样的空间似乎显得特别渺小与没有意义,正是在正视这没有意义中,我们才能询问生命的真正意义。

树叶在拍打

海浪在拍打

Description:

The relationship between peasants and land is like the relationship between fishermen and the sea. The land and the sea nurture the people, tell the story of the vicissitudes of life. Fishermen go to sea, cast the net, close the net, return home, over and over again, sometimes nothing, and sometimes full of return. The fishermen living here are repeating this kind of labor and life for thousands of years, as the beat of waves and never stop. It is the energy of the sea for the endless beat of waves, and the sea passes the energy to the fishermen.

I extracted these words of "Waves are lapping" , explaining by an old fisherman. I will make two rafts with high-intensity loudspeakers, one plays "Leaves are flapping", another plays "Waves are lapping", the two rafts will be carried to the depths of the sea to play using fishing boats, so that the two voices can be free to float in the depths of the sea. Put the description of the natural movement in this movement, the two voices will be repeated over and over again with the beat of waves. Although the origins of the two voices are thousands of miles, the things that they described are different, their essences is connected. And they seem to be talking, meanwhile, they are talking to nature and talking to life. This dialogue is a kind of description, inquiry and reflection.

Facing the sea of such a space, these two voices put into the sea, seem particularly small and meaningless, it is in the face of this meaningless that we can ask the true meaning of life.

 

Leaves are flapping

Waves are lapping
