前言 | Introduction

半张图艺术馆很荣幸呈现跨年特别展“地洞”，这次展览将整个展厅作为一个体验式空间。地洞取自卡夫卡的最后一部短篇小说《地洞》，它形象地描绘了一个与世隔绝的幽居世界，展示了一种与世俗化的外部世界生活方式相对抗的内在生活方式。在此，我们将地洞进行重塑和引申，并结合当下情境进行研究与探索。

我们将地洞反向为具有积极意义的内省空间，同时引申了一种诗意的“黑”——“Dialogue In The Dark”（黑暗中的对话）。在这片黑中，卡式的荒诞、矛盾、内在的私密与外界流动的事物进行了对话，它们共同构建成这黑暗之诗：主体被隐藏起来，它们时刻在期待被发现而又不希望被发现。在整体的暧昧与未知感中，穿插着个体的矛盾与私密化的碎片，整体与个别形成了层层递进的可伸缩式封闭空间。在这个新的地洞中，三位艺术家通过关联空间的内部与外部，组织影像、声音以及它们与观众的互动，以此来完成自己艺术观念的构建。

邹毅杰构建了一个私密、窥视的空间，通过观众无意识的介入来完成对主体身份的认知和转换；吴雨桑的录像更多关注自身私密的情感碎片，她将混乱、矛盾、纠结的情绪与追求安宁、祥和的欲望并置，使用线条与现成图像的集中组合体现了深渊中的自我对抗与内在的自我消解；何雨澄着迷于使用小戏谑、冷幽默及自娱的手段去处理严肃的内在矛盾，她扮演着黑暗中的吟唱者和调停者，并在不打破整体与个别的微妙平衡下构建了一种捉迷藏式的主客关系。

地洞的体系就是这种诗意的构筑，是各个部分的相互关联所产生的节奏与整体的和谐之间的再关联与再对抗，而这其中的所有构成因素，直接关乎我们的情绪、对生活的态度以及存在认同。

HALF IMAGE is honored to present the special exhibition “Dialogue In The Dark” The entire gallery will be transformed into an interactive exhibition space. An unfinished short story written by Franz Kafka, The Burrow depicts a secluded system of tunnels, and revealed an introspective living style against the secular exterior world. We seek to remodel and further extend the meaning of the burrow in this exhibition, by contextualizing its original connotation within the contemporary world.

Based upon the concept of the Burrow, we construct a contemplative space focusing on the inner world, a poetic dimension of Blackness, through “Dialogues in the Dark.” Here, the conceptualized nucleus of the inner self – the Kafkian forms of absurdity, paradox and intimacy – communicates with the circulating objects in the outside world, and creates a rhythm of darkness. The subjects of the poem are buried in the darkness, meant to be discovered yet constantly rejecting any forms of intrusion. Fragments of the contradicted selves are woven into the sense of ambiguity and mystery. The juxtaposition of the individuals and the whole generates a multi-layer enclosure. In this new burrow, three artists experiment with the connection between the inner and the outer space, and seek to realize their artistic idea through interactive video and audio works.

 Yijie Zou creates a private space, a peephole, where the unconscious intervention of the audience transforms the subject of the artwork. Samo Wu focuses more upon painting her own emotions in her videos. Feelings of chaos, conflicts and hesitations coexist with the desire for peace and harmony. The assemblage of tracing lines and ready-made images demonstrates self-contradictions and self-deconstruction in an abyss. White He is obsessed with bantering, deadpan and self-deprecating expressions, all serving as means of solving inner conflicts. Acting as a chanting mediator in the dark, HE establishes an equivocal relationship between the subject and audience, without breaking the balance between the individual and the whole.

The system of this exhibition is such a poetic construction, all the components in are directly related to our emotions, attitude and self-identity to life. Of interest, various parts within the system came to be associated with each other to form a harmonious state, and yielded re-association and re-antagonism when mapping to the entirety.
