大地窗花 Paste the Paper-cut to the Earth’s Window

Installation, 2022

决定应邀参与南海大地艺术节之后，粉丸和工作室团队曾多次为《阿墙》作品的方案考察太平墟。然而中途却在南街39号空间的附近，发现了一处漂亮的水塘。她因此下定决心争取，最终促成了第二件参展作品《大地窗花》的诞生，它像一枚彩蛋，一并呈现在南海大地艺术节之中。

After deciding to participate in the Art Field Nanhai, Fenwan and her studio team visited Taiping Street for many times for the project of Hello Walls. However, on the way, she found a beautiful pond near the street. Therefore, it made up her mind and finally contributed to the birth of the second exhibition work, Paste the Paper-cut to the Earth’s Window, which is like a bonus scene, and also presented in the Art Field.

粉丸的两件作品《阿墙》《大地窗花》都在广东南海大地艺术节2022中展出。它们位于南海西樵镇中的太平墟，是本次大地艺术节选定的八大展览区域之一。

源于大地艺术节的在地性任务与目标，作品的创作脉络与当地历史风貌息息相关。从五月份粉丸接到组委会的邀约、开启多次考察与创作，再到冲刺落成，历经半年之久。

Two of Fenwan's works, Hello, Walls and Paste the Paper-cut to the Earth’s Window, were exhibited at Guangdong Nanhai Art Field 2022. They are located in the Taiping Street in Foshan of southern China, one of the eight exhibition areas selected by the committee.

Originating from the located task and purpose of the Nanhai Art Field, the creation of the works is closely related to the Taiping Street’s historical features. From the day Fenwan received the invitation of the committee to the two artworks finishing, it took half a year.

要令整件作品完美漂浮在鱼塘水面上，且保证图案成形，比想象中要难一些。实际上，在观众肉眼可见的图案下方，还需藏有让作品成立的框架结构，它被置于水面之下，是粉丸在构思《大地窗花》过程中的核心。

It's a little harder than we think to get the whole piece to float perfectly on the pond and get the pattern to form. In fact, underneath the pattern that is visible, there needs to be hidden the frame structure that establishes the work, which is placed under the water and is the core of Fenwan's conception.

在布展前的冲刺阶段，两件作品并行筹备，历经整个大创作团队的多次沟通与试验，才最终成功解决高密度泡沫与下方金属骨架的衔接，作品在水面的上方与水中各有分工。这也正如艺术家的工作逻辑—— “我们把工作藏在了背后，直面观众的只是作品的表面”。

In the final stage before exhibition, the two works including Hello, Walls of Fenwan were prepared in parallel. After many communications and experiments by the whole team, the connection between the high-density foam and the metal skeleton below was finally solved successfully. The work has a division of labor on the top of the water and in it. This is just like the logic of the artist -- "We hide our work behind our back, and what we face the audience is only the surface of the work".

“如果把这个水域比作窗户，那它看出去就是广阔的天空甚至是宇宙。我要剪一个太阳，是上古神话中由神鸟带着才飞向天空的那个太阳，微笑着，和窗外的一切已知与未知对望。”

"If this body of water is like a window, it looks out onto the vast sky and even the universe. I want to cut a sun, the one carried to the sky by the mythical birds of old, smiling and looking out the window at everything known and unknown."
