前言

文/王怡然

这系列的作品呈现的是一瞬间的不存在，又或许是不存在的一瞬间。看似无序的痕迹，跨越了地域和时间的界限。无论文化、社会的基准如何，世间万物的运行，都要看山河大地所能给予的生命许诺。循环往复，周而复始，生生不息。

“一切唯心造”，最真实的现实并非眼见之物，而是眼见之物与内心反应之间的关系。希望大家在观看中能得到自己的“所见”，或是片刻安宁。

沉重的低音感，是王怡然作品给人最直接的感受。

从2018年开始，王怡然独自穿行于山西、陕西、内蒙、浙江，不同的山林里，慎重地拍下眼前所见：若有微光的岩洞，沉寂洞开的寺门，黑白山河间的波光，静默对称的厂房，喷涌向上的微尘……这些似无叙事逻辑的画面，分开是宏大而又精微的人类痕迹与自然景观，连在一起，呈现出从中古文明到工业时代人与自然的互动留痕。如有音律，低音不绝。

王怡然的这组作品，在科技与社会高速发展、人类群居城镇远离自然的今天，退回到山河之间，追溯人与自然的互动，希望重拾山河赋予的能量，在这些痕迹中，联结过去与当下，找到应对未来的底气。

展览将在幽暗的空间，用14件作品，呈现山河之下不为人类所撼动，却巍然涌动的历史低音。

Preface

 Text/Yiran Rachel Wang

This series of works presents a moment of non-existence, or perhaps the non-existence of a moment. The seemingly chaotic traces traverse the boundaries of space and time. Regardless of the cultural and social benchmarks, the world runs on the promise of life that the mountains, rivers and earth have to offer. This cycle in nature goes on and on, and it never ends.

"Everything is made according to the desire of the heart", the most authentic reality is not what we see, but the relationship between what we see and our innate reactions to it. I hope you can truly perceive whatever captures your eyes or just simply enjoy a moment of peace while visiting this series.

 Text/Teng Qinyun

A heavy sense of bass is the first impression that Wang Yiran's works deliver. 

Since 2018, Wang Yiran has been solo traveling among various mountains and forests in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, and Zhejiang, carefully photographing what she sees in front of her: caves with shimmering light, temple doors that are silent and welcoming, waves of light between poetic mountains and rivers, quiet and symmetrical factories, and dust gushing upwards...... These images, which seem to have no narrative logic, are grand and subtle human traces and natural landscapes when they stand by themselves, and when they weave together, the traces of human-nature interaction from the Middle Ages to the industrial age are presented in front of us. Like a rhythm, the bass goes on and on.

This series of works by Wang Yiran, created at a time when technology and society are developing at a rapid pace and human beings are living in cities and towns far away from nature, retreat to the mountains and rivers, tracing the interaction between man and nature, hoping to revive the vitality bestowed by nature, reconnecting the past and the present within those traces, and finally getting ready for the advent of future.

In this exhibition, 14 pieces of work are placed in a dark space to present the bass of history looming under the mountains and rivers untouched by human deeds.

Artist Biography

Yiran Rachel Wang  graduated from Parsons School of Design with a BFA in Photography, engaged in visual creative work in Beijing, Shanghai and New York. She is currently pursuing a master's degree at New York University with a focus on Visual Culture study and New Media technology.

As a photographer whose approach moves fluidly between documentary and fashion, her work often deals with reconstructing memories and memorializing objects. Exploring the complicated relationship between humanity and nature in the context of historical and cultural background, Rachel’s work aims to scrutinize and observe people’s role in nature in a poetic, yet provocative way.
