前言
文/肖瑞昀
进入杭添个展，我们将看到“摄影”被试验性地施以人为处理，平面图像消失了，整个展厅如同一个大型装置现场。
这些不同维度的展现和观看方式，是杭添基于摄影本体语言进行的讨论。人们获取一幅照片的内容和意义，往往将观看主体和对象建立对应的关系，形成客观认知或是情感投射。杭添则有意弱化主体和对象的关联，并且在这两者之间，嵌入观看者的身体感知，以此连结整个观看的过程。
空间注视
Spatial Focus
本次个展展出六个系列作品。作品以照片内部的空间性作为影像的基础和特征，并且关注它们的空间化再现。
《空间注视》透过材料展现影像的纵深感和多维性，模拟人眼注视的先后顺序；《湖面，从下至上凝视》等作品，探讨观看的深度，以物件的奇特形状，打破我们惯常认为的摄影必须是平面矩形的预期；《Ben Nevis，10:53-13:10》等作品，将连续的风景组成一个图像层叠的整体，恢复时间和观看形态的复杂性。
湖面，从下至上凝视
Lake Surface, Staring from Bottom to Top
如果说前面讲述的作品观看是传统美术馆意义上的凝视，另外三组作品则需要观众由眼睛转向整个身体，从固定位置转向移动，在展厅的漫游中形成更丰富的空间感知。作品《100米》与《在火车上》，分别模拟人们行走和坐在火车上的观看经验，将多幅快门定格的照片流进行重新缝合，追溯运动过程中的身体状态；《地狱谷》源于观看火山口的经验，以图像雕塑的方式，还原身体与被感知物的空间关系。
当下人们过多地关注图像内容本身，杭添的作品意在讨论被忽视的视觉边缘地带，对摄影媒介进行更为概念性的思考。人们习以为常将观看经历用图像记录，杭添则经过图像的分解、编排、建构，邀请观众重新体验基于熟悉的生活经验，所产生新的“观看方式”与“自我意识”。

When we walk into Hang Tian's solo exhibition, we will discover that "photography" undergoes a series of experiments in an artificial way. The plane image has disappeared, and the entire exhibition hall resembles an immense installation art.
These different ways of displaying and seeing are based on Hang’s exploration of the ontology of photography as a language. In order to grasp the content and meaning of photographs, people tend to establish a corresponding connection between the subject and the object in the act of seeing and then form their own objective cognition or emotional projection. Hang deliberately enfeebles the connection between the subject and the object. In the gap between the two, he embeds the observer’s physical perception in order to integrate different parts of the entire seeing process.
在火车上
On the Train
Six series of Hang’s works are presented in this solo exhibition. The internal sense of space within the photographs is the basis and characteristics of these works and their spatial representation is also highly emphasized.
Through the use of materials, “Spatial Focus" shows the depth and multidimensionality of images and simulates the sequence of the human gaze. Works such as "Lake Surface, Staring from Bottom to Top " and other works explore the depth of seeing and by employing bizarre shapes, challenge our conventional expectation that photos must be flat rectangles. Works such as "Ben Nevis, 10:53-13:10" put continuous landscapes together into a complete whole of layered images, restoring the complexity of time and the form of seeing.
本尼维斯山，10:53-13:10
Ben Nevis, 10:53-13:10
If the act of seeing the works mentioned above resembles the kind of gaze that often takes place in a traditional art gallery, for the other three groups of works, the audience is asked to see not just with their eyes but with their entire body and to move around instead of standing still in order to acquire a richer spatial perception when roaming around the exhibition hall. “100 Meters” and "On the Train" simulate the seeing experience of people walking and sitting in the train respectively, weaving multiple photos streams to trace the physical state of bodies in the act of moving. “Hell Valley” was created based on the experience of observing a volcanic crater, which attempts to restore the spatial relationship between the body and the object through image sculpture.
Nowadays, people tend to overemphasize the content of images. Hang, however, desires to address the fringe of image that’s often neglected and to contemplate the medium of photography in a more conceptual way. The act of seeing is commonly recorded with the use of image, while through the decomposing, arranging and constructing of image Hanginvites his audience to re-experience a new "way of seeing" and "self-awareness," which are the immediate result of our daily life experience.
