个展《浮沉》展示了过去六年间，陈维以都市夜生活中的人物和场景作为主题的系列摄影与装置作品，是这一主题项目的终章呈现。通过实体搭建舞台场域，综合运用光线、色彩等要素，进而构建出空间界限不明的叙事环境。在他的作品中，年代模糊的舞池氛围往往潮湿氤氲，透露出强烈的现场感。在摄影作品《的士高》（#1001，#1005，#1006）的拍摄过程中，陈维引导都市青年们在舞池中表现出陶醉，进而捕捉人物在音浪里身形隐去的肢体语言，以及忘我迷惑的精神状态。而在有景无人的摄影作品《舞池系列》（一组8件）中，空旷舞池里的镜球，色彩斑斓的马赛克墙，冰冷泛光的镜面，流动着广告图像的霓虹灯箱，则宛如一出狂欢的默剧即将开场，又像是都市夜晚散场后一出疲惫失落的群像。

An intimate exhibition will display the final chapter of the artist’s photography and installation works dealing with people and spaces in metropolitan nightlife, a series the artist has been working on over the past six years. Chen Wei builds life-sized stage sets, employing light and colours, then constructs a narrative environment with blurred spatial boundaries. Depicted nightclub scenes in the artist’s works are always permeated with dampness - with vague chronology - and atmospheres reveal a strong sense of immediacy. During the shooting of Disco (nr #1001, #1005, #1006 in the exhibition), Chen Wei directed young urban people to embody being inebriated on the dance floor, thus capturing their body movements disappearing into the sound wave, as well as their mental state of forlornness and confusion. When human figures are invisible, like in Dance Hall Series (set of 8), the artist fills the pictures with objects: the discoball on the empty dance floor, the iridescent mosaic wall, the cold glowing mirror, and the neon lights displaying intermittent advertising. All the scenes in his photography seem like a pantomime of revelry ready to start, but also like a group portrait of the exhaustion and hollowness after urban nightlife ends.
