Nails & Holes 钉孔🔨 (Ongoing 创作中)
28 4 月 2024

这个项目记录了我在三影堂厦门摄影艺术中心工作的4年间拍下的的展厅墙上的洞和钉子。我想这个项目是关于艺术行业里那些单调乏味的重复劳动的。这些钉子上可能挂过无人问津的作品,获奖的作品,卖出好价钱的作品,遭人唾弃的作品,令人尴尬的作品,让人振奋的作品,发人深思的作品,使人迷惑的作品。无论如何,画框会被取下,钉子被拔下来,墙上留下了一个洞,而后被填平,很快新的钉子再被钉上去。

This project is a record of the holes and nails in the walls of the exhibition hall during the three years I worked at Three Shadows Xiamen Photography Art Centre. I think this book is about the monotonous and tedious repetitive labour in the art industry. On these nails may have been hung unloved works, award-winning works, works that sold for a good price, works that were used to buy favours, works that were spurned, works that were embarrassing, works that were uplifting, works that were thought-provoking, works that were confusing. No matter what, the frames would be removed, the nails would be pulled out, and the wall would be left with a hole, which would then be filled in, and new nails would be put in place soon after.
