"Where the dust is raised today, it was once the sea." This is a famous line from 《Hanshanzi's Poetry Collection》, and is used here as the name of Zhang Sunzhe's exhibition. Sunzhe interspersed two self-carved stone tablets in his paintings. ‘Between the mountains and the flowing water, occasionally hiding things of the present’ . This poem is engraved on a corner of the stone tablet. It’s a dialogue with the Tang Dynasty monk Hanshan across time and space. The artist's thinking process and painting clues can be seen in the ‘dust’. It is impossible to verify whether Hanshan's ‘dust’ fell on the busy city or the beautiful mountains, and "it was once the sea" carries a sense of sadness about time.
无论古今，如果寒山的诗句落在昔时大海，那么孙哲想要表达的便是明日“大海”。海与海不同，昔日大海，是陆地的尽头，是肉身的尽头，是思想的尽头，明日大海，在孙哲的画中则像数据的尽头，算法的尽头，关系的尽头。这是艺术家作品中一种相对沉重的未来感。刻意消磨了时间的边界，抹除了生活的痕迹，掩盖了历史的温度。所有的画面在真实与虚幻之间摇晃，像是经历过的，或又像从未触碰过的那样。
Regardless of the past and present, if Hanshan's poemspoint at the ‘sea’ of the past, then what Sun Zhe wants to express is the ‘sea’ of tomorrow. The sea is different from the sea. The sea of the past is the end of the land, the end of the flesh, and the end of thought. In Sun Zhe's paintings, the sea of tomorrow is like the end of data, the end of algorithms, and the end of relationships. This is a relatively heavy sense of the future in the artist's works. The boundaries of time are deliberately worn away, the traces of life are erased, and the temperature of history is covered. All the pictures shake between reality and illusion, as if they have been experienced, or as if they have never been touched.
我们在艺术家的“空境”中，感受到一种被人类被自我抛弃的异样情感。我们就像从一个编程失败的世界被迁徙到另外一个被编程的世界中，不断地寻找着一个正确的“程序员”。在孙哲编撰的画面里，每一件事物的安排都是不合理的，它们像走岔剧情的NPC，各自读着没有观众的假台词。所有的画面被笼罩在一层紫色中，黄色的缺席，让我们不知道阳光是正在升起还是正在落下。就像我们正在生活的场景中，每一件技术与科技包裹的“外来物”中，哪一样会拽着我们上升或者下降。一种持续加速，再加速的状态下，艺术家用“离场”来回应自己的内心世界。
