Body Anxiety|形体焦虑

 

 

形体焦虑项目通过环境戏剧与体验装置结合的框架空间,探讨了人的身体与社会文化之间的捆绑关系。身体是社会的隐喻,是生理和社会的集合体,具有高度的可塑性。当下,在社会的文化控制、大众媒体多样化和刻板固有审美操纵下,人们逐渐对自身形体认知产生负面心理,并把身体当成一种有待加工的平面和体积。

 

而盆景亦是因人类审美情趣捆绑塑造出来的产物,与人的形体有着异曲同工之处。由此,此项目设计一场束缚迷失体验,创作了八个围绕形体焦虑且针对不同人体部位的人体盆景支架,让观众能够直接在装置接触中感受形体的束缚感我将“环境戏剧”配合八个“束缚装置”置入八个框架结构型迷宫空间中塑造整体项目的空间结构将束缚装置包裹在其中,通过重复性和规律性的空间构成传递体验的迷失,尝试由此弥漫空间中的焦虑氛围,并将这八个大型装置安排进各个城市的大型公共场所。观众进入装置空间内,在框架中迷失方向,他们可以自由的与空间产生关系,但形体被制约,被扭曲成各种奇怪的形态与城市的空间环境相结合,在公共城市环境中形成了一场特殊的关于“形体焦虑”的自发表演。2016

 

By the combined structure space between environmental drama and experimental installation, this project discusses the ties between human body and social culture. Body, as a metaphor of society, a combination of physiology and society, is highly reflexible. In contemporary society, under the control of social culture, people regard body as a flat and volume remains to be processed. Penjing is a product tied up with human aesthetics. Human body is tied up by social culture just like. People blindly pursue perfect body. Therefore, I designed 8 installations that ties 8 different parts of human body, letting people to feeling the social constraint of body. I put environmental drama into the 8 structural space to present body anxiety, containing the tying installation. Human body is restricted in the structure, distorted to be various bizarre forms, which constitute a special spontaneous performance.
