對某些人來說,

山頂是一個用來征服的地方。

對那座山來說,

它是下雪的地方。

關系性不止是一方通行,更是一個雙方向的相互關系。不同關系的形成也是基于有著各自不同的立場和視角。事物的存在意味被轉(zhuǎn)換為視覺語言,形成一個巨大信息庫然后被人類利用。其本質(zhì)是“看”與“被看”。生活中的景觀在我的理解中有兩條路:人類用視覺語言去表達感情,以及視覺語言背后所暗示的關系性。 


展覽前言

文/肖瑞昀

 

魏子涵個展呈現(xiàn)了一個移除人類的動物園世界,將“關系”植入到了作品敘事中。 

在動物與人的視角之間、在虛構故事與真實的場景之間,魏子涵在作品中進行了一次有效的轉(zhuǎn)化。從動物的角度而言,動物園與人類生活環(huán)境似乎是兩個界限分明的空間。當我們的視角脫離人類,而是跟隨著展覽中12只猴子的眼睛,從空無一人的動物園逃入同樣四顧無人的人類空間,這樣一些視覺圖像將引導我們思考:人類與動物的關系是什么呢? 

“人類中心主義”使得我們習慣將動物視為他者,作品《逛動物園是一件正經(jīng)事》(動物園を見てまわるのは真面目なことだ)將主觀視角發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)換,同時提醒我們的是,人類和動物正在共同塑造彼此。人們普遍認為人類與動物是“垂直”的進化關系,魏子涵作品則呈現(xiàn)了“水平”的相互關系,不僅取消了人類的主體地位,并且“以動物為切入基點表達對這一關系性問題的認知?!?span style="font-size: 10px;">1 

魏子涵的另一個系列《情動的味道》(情動の匂い),聚焦于動物的形態(tài)、局部或是周遭環(huán)境。動物以視覺、觸覺乃至味道等細微之處喚起我們的情感,形成了每個人檔案式的感知記憶庫。在后現(xiàn)代理論中,動物與人的二元關系在逐漸打破。當代哲學家貝爾納?斯蒂格勒(Bernard Stiegler)認為,人類沒有屬于自己認知的“本能”,而是借由模仿各種動物的特性以習得“本能”。2《情動的味道》某種程度上也回應了這個問題,也就是說,人類與動物本來的差異性,根本在于人類的匱乏。動物本身的視覺奇觀與感觀刺激,彌合了我們作為人類的部分想象、情感與欲望。

Text/Xiao Ruiyun

 

Wei Zihan's solo exhibition presents a zoo world where human beings are removed and "relationship" is implanted into the narrative of her works.

 

Between the perspectives of animals and humans, between fictional stories and real scenes, Wei has made an effective transformation in her works. From the perspective of animals, the zoo and the human living environment seem to be two clearly defined spaces. When our viewpoint goes from humans and to the eyes of the 12 monkeys in the exhibition, escaping from the empty zoo into the equally empty human space, such visual images guide us to question: what is the relationship between humans and animals?

 

While "anthropocentrism" has made us accustomed to seeing animals as the Other, Wei’s work "Going to the Zoo is Serious Business" shifts the subjective perspective and reminds us that humans and animals are shaping each other at the same time. While it is commonly believed that humans and animals are in a "vertical" evolutionary relationship, Wei’s work presents a "horizontal" interrelationship, not only abolishing the subjectivity of humans, but also "taking animals as the entry point to present the perception of this relational issue.” 1

 

Wei's other series, "The Taste of Emotion," focuses on the form, locality, and surroundings of animals. Animals evoke our emotions with subtleties such as sight, touch and even taste, forming an archival memory bank of each individual's perception. In postmodern theory, the binary relationship between animals and humans is gradually breaking down. The contemporary philosopher Bernard Stiegler argues that humans do not have their own cognitive "instincts", but acquire them by imitating the characteristics of various animals.2 "The Taste of Emotion" echoes this question to some extent, that is, the fundamental difference between humans and animals lies in the deficiency of the former. The visual spectacle and sensory stimulation of animals bridge part of our imagination, emotions and desires as human beings.
