Drawing on traditional themes of human cultural creation (lamentations of spring and autumn/the sorrow of things) and China's unique philosophy of life, this exhibition explores how the natural environment (such as the growth and decline of plants and temperature fluctuations) influences the human senses in our modern, digital lives. The first thing you do upon opening your eyes isn't to draw the curtains to greet the morning light, but to reach for your phone by your pillow—a standard ritual for hundreds of millions of urban dwellers. We live in an unprecedented era of digital colonization, where vast swathes of the human mind have been quietly and silently taken over by algorithms. In this silent digitization, we've lost not only our sense of nature's rhythms but also our deep connection to the Earth's ecosystem as living organisms. A nonlinear narrative illustrates how nature heals and soothes the senses, symbolically connecting digital organs with nature, guiding viewers through the cycle of growth and decline of plants, allowing them to perceive and empathize with these cyclical changes and release emotional stress.
Subjective Feelings and Interpretations: Spring is fading, and with the increasing amount of fallen leaves, a sense of melancholy arises. With the weather changing, the weather changing, the plants' momentum threatens to consume the modern environment, while the growing vegetation slowly withers even as it displays its vigor. I ponder what kind of comfort we need amidst the lingering effects of digital modernization, creating an atmosphere of beauty and fragmentation. Kunqu Opera, Huangmei Opera, and opera, in my personal experience, can purify the mind, immerse us in a sense of tranquility, and even allow us to drift between reality and fantasy. The comfortable environment of spring can make us sleepy, and hormone regulation can make us feel as if we are in harmony with nature, sleeping drunkenly beneath a tree where petals are falling. The fleeting emotions of spring, unnoticed, leave us feeling its arrival, only to be filled with endless melancholy as it inevitably fades. I can only grasp this moment at the last moment. At this moment, beyond reality, it seems as if gods and demons are all enchanted by the blossoms and the peaceful atmosphere, each greedily trying to capture the spring...
From a vivid childhood memory, reminiscing about childhood is a kind of comfort. Chinese directors incorporate smoke, dance, and alcoholic culture to convey a sense of fantasy and enjoyment, while Japanese directors employ close-up dynamic shots, smearing Vaseline on the lens to convey distortion and unreality, and incorporating chanting. They hope to present the blurred boundaries between reality and dream, expressing spiritual aspirations.
