Impression of Dunhuang: Animistic
video and sculpture installation featuring tin lotus landscape, two projectors, slow rotating motor, glasses, mirrors, transparent tapes, video projection: 99 seconds loop
This experimental projection artwork, inspired by the artist's personal visit to the site, uses light-reflective materials to recreate the Deer King Jataka mural from Cave 257 of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, Gansu, China. Through its immersive atmosphere, the work allows viewers to experience the unique beauty of the Mogao Caves, even if they haven't been there in person. Simultaneously, it delves into the relationship between humans and nature as depicted in the Buddhist story of the Deer King Jataka, incorporating a natural mimicry of a lotus pond created with industrial materials. By applying the principles of light reflection, the artwork employs a slowly rotating sculpture to project light in all directions, ultimately filling the entire space with a small installation that explores the connection between space and object.
这件实验性投影艺术作品的灵感来源于艺术家的实地考察，利用光反射材料重现了中国甘肃敦煌莫高窟第 257 窟的《鹿王本生经》壁画。通过沉浸式的氛围，这件作品让观众即使没有亲临莫高窟也能感受到莫高窟的独特之美。同时，它深入探讨了佛教故事《鹿王本生经》中人与自然的关系，并利用工业材料模拟了莲花池的自然形态。通过应用光反射原理，这件作品采用缓慢旋转的雕塑将光线投射到各个方向，最终用一个小型装置填满整个空间，探索空间与物之间的联系。
