人偶档案 Puppet archive

艺术家 | 张巍 Zhang Wei

  • 在我之前创作的作品里,我拍摄了大量的人物素材,用电脑拼贴的方式虚拟了一个类似玩偶的团体,有明星和政治人物等形象。在新的系列里我想让这些身体零件寄寓在某一个看似真实的赝品图像里,更加夸大其戏剧成分,并通过这种制造来组成一个虚幻的帝国。
      
      通过重新编码复原来自网络搜索的历史文献、电影截图、古代绘画、经典纪实摄影等素材资料。由玩偶团体来模拟人、事件和行为,篡改原有的现实模型并摧毁“合理性”,在错乱时空中构成一种虚假的文献。使其成为一部伪历史的碎片蒙太奇,即政治寓言也是未来象征。
      In the previous works I created, I photographed a lot of character material and used computer collage to virtualise a doll-like group with images of stars and political figures, among others. In the new series I wanted to make these body parts parasitic in a certain seemingly realistic fake image, exaggerating its theatrical component even more and composing an imaginary empire through this fabrication.
      
      By recoding and recovering material from historical documents, film screenshots, ancient paintings, classic documentary photography and other sources searched on the internet. Groups of dolls simulate people, events and actions, falsifying the original model of reality and destroying "plausibility" to create a false document in a disordered space and time. This makes it a pseudo-historical montage of fragments, a political allegory and a symbol of the future.
