热爱的人 Loving Ones

Installation, 2023

情感不具形,热爱不呈状。在想象力的驱动下,艺术家将情绪体验凝结成形、为其着色。银色与粉色在纸上彼此交叠、共同跳跃,碰撞出新的热量。并进一步发问:如果爱可以被触摸,它们会是滚烫发热的吗?

Emotion and love go without shape. Driven by imagination, the artist tries to condense and color emotional experiences. Silver and pink overlap on the paper and jump together, colliding with each other to create new heat.

If love could be touched, would it be hot?

“从2013年开始剪纸,不小心剪到了灵魂,剪到了热爱。” 这次广州设计周中出现的人形剪纸装置,是粉丸作品中反复出现的元素——小灵魂。

灵魂们围绕设计周主题“热爱”起舞,它们的身体分别由共计20个零部件组成,而每个灵魂都没有重复的形态。自如变换的姿势,令它们能够活泼互动,甚至模仿名画中的人物形态。

"I started to cut paper in 2013, accidentally cut soul and love." The installation that appeared in Guangzhou Design Week 2022 is a recurring element in Fenwan's works -- small soul.

The souls dance around the theme of "Love" of the Design Week, and their bodies are made up of a total of 20 parts, with no duplicate form for each soul. Their changeable poses allow them to interact with each other in a lively way, even imitating the figures in some famous paintings.

由此,剪纸不仅沟通了虚实两界,试图将灵魂可视化,更从时间维度上,隔空与更遥远的创作相呼应。

Therefore, paper cutting not only communicates the virtual and real worlds, trying to visualize the soul, but also echoes the distant creation from the time dimension.

现场装置方案将大型灵魂人物与脚手架相结合,亦将脚手架这一常见施工用具从日常中抽离,巧妙地嫁接进作品。“现成的现成品”这一当代思考,化作了灵魂们起舞的背景。

The installation combines the large souls with the scaffold, and also separates the scaffold, a common construction tool, from the daily life, and cleverly grafts it into the work. The contemporary thinking of "ready-made" becomes the background for souls to dance.

彩蛋设置:艺术家同时在脚手架上的多个小角落,藏进小尺寸的迷你灵魂,让它们跟着跳跃、奔跑,等待观众发现。

Bonus: The artist hides miniature souls in several small corners on the scaffold at the same time, making them jump and run, waiting for the audience to find them.

灵魂系列元素最早由粉丸创作于2019年,展出于她的个人展览《灵魂受潮》:

The series of soul element were first created by Fenwan in 2019 for her solo exhibition, The Wet Soul.

灵魂之间的依托是亲密无间的,可以从自我中怀拥彼此,浪漫且轻盈。

The support between souls is intimate. They can even hold each other from the self, romantic and light.
