【展讯】汪雪涯个展——私人剧场 | 无界展览
For English, Please scoll down
当人们习惯自拍成为社交媒体的狂欢，网络正在爆炸式地呈现着年轻一代人，真实与虚伪交杂的视觉文化。汪雪涯同样将镜头对准自己，却是表达着更广泛、真实的女性生命状态。
我非我 I’m Not Myself
身为自拍主体的女性摄影师，汪雪涯既是观看执行者，也是作品中被他人窥探的对象。在大众文化里，无论是杂志广告、还是好莱坞电影，女性往往是男性目光凝视所在，而如何在一个主动观看的位置上进行性别身份的认同，成为汪雪涯意图讨论的问题。
这组作品的创作可以说是一个逐渐自觉的过程。汪雪涯面对今年的新冠疫情，开始将创作思考由过去的关注外部世界，转向了内在的自我观照和省思。她置身于各种室内空间，将自拍与日常的生活景观结合，呈现一个个的“私人剧场”。汪雪涯选择将身体姿态化约为一种视觉语言，所有作品里的面部表情是隐藏的，就如同皮肤和身体的印记、作为母亲和妻子的家庭身份、细微的自我情绪都藏匿其中。《我非我》否定的第一人称，以另一种独特的方式做着更为广泛的集体表达。不同空间的游离，似乎隐喻着女性如何不断地寻找自我位置。
我非我 I’m Not Myself
展览呈现的另一组作品《梦中梦》，同样在探索身体，拍摄目光则从自身转向了抽象的他者。摄影机和拍摄对象之间隔着一面玻璃，远离玻璃的身体部分愈加模糊。她将三维空间转换成梦境般的画面，再现想象中的温情时刻。
在汪雪涯的私人剧场中，我们可以观看身体如何在空间叙事中流动，以及体验镜面、日记本等互动装置。欢迎进入这个“剧场”空间，开启我们的身体和自我认知之旅。
汪雪涯，1969年生，摄影师，工作生活于浙江江山。汪雪涯通过摄影这一媒介探索感知现实世界，主要关注女性、身份、自我和生存状态等方面问题。作品在浙江展览馆、宁波美术馆和国内各大摄影节展出，曾获IDPA无像摄影样书奖年度最佳摄影书奖、浙江纪实摄影大奖等众多奖项。

When taking selfies becomes a social media carnival, the Internet has exploded in presenting the younger generation with a visual culture mixed of truth and hypocrisy. Wang Xueya has also turned the camera to herself, but she expressed a female state of being that is both broad and true.
梦中梦 Dream Within a Dream
As a female photographer who is the subject of self-portraits, Wang is not only the actor of seeing but also the subject of other prying eyes. In popular culture, whether it is a magazine advertisement or a Hollywood movie, women are often the subject of men’s gaze. How to form one’s own gender identity in an active viewing position has become a question that Wang attempts to explore.
梦中梦 Dream Within a Dream
The creation of this series of works is a process of gradually becoming self-aware. Due to the pandemic, Wang shifted the focus of her creative thinking from the external world to self-reflection. She was exposed to various indoor spaces, combining selfies with daily life scenes which ends up showing her "private theaters." Wang chose to present her body posture as a visual language. The facial expressions in all of her works are hidden. Similarly, the imprints of skin and body, the family identity as a mother and wife, and the subtle emotions are all hidden within. The negative form of the first-person pronoun in I’m Not Myself is a unique and extensive collective expression. The dissociation of different spaces seems to be a metaphor for how women are constantly looking for their position in the world.
梦中梦 Dream Within a Dream
Dream Within a Dream, another series of works presented in this exhibition is also exploring the human body. The focus of the camera, however, has turned from the self to the abstract other. There is always a piece of glass between the camera and the subject. The farther away the body parts are from the glass, the blurrier they are. Wang transforms the three-dimensional space into a dreamlike picture, replaying the tender moments in the imagination.
In Wang's private theaters, we can witness how the body flows in a spatial narrative and experience interactive installations such as “Mirror” and “Diary”. Welcome to this "theatre" and let’s start our journey of cognition of both body and self.
