· 艺术家自述 ·
我的整个童年是在村庄中度过，长期与动物为伴，曾目睹了家养的马孕育一匹小马的过程，也经常与牛、羊、鸡、树木独处于一个空间，与动物相处的细节一直停留在脑海中，伴随了几十年，动物、土地、植物一直在潜意识中反复出现，这也形成了我创作的一个原点。
在近十年的生活中，频繁搬家、居无定所的状态让我一直思索身体与环境的依存关系以及蛰伏在不同空间下的情绪。此次创作起始于长期居家的状态中，也拍摄于每一个城市临时的“家”中。在地理隔离与迁移的状态里，进行自我发问，凝视脆弱，探求身份、记忆、空间的联系。
乌鸦喝水是动物本能的需求，是欲望、自身的脆弱、生命力的直接显示，然而美丽和危险并行存在——图像中看似美好的画面，可能都处在危险的边缘，隐藏在生活里的创伤、冲突和暴力再次凝结，试图召唤一种城市中无法言喻的脆弱，以及被遗失的原始的能量。
文/白林
白林的创作将对日常生活的敏锐感知和童年生活在农场的经验结合在一起。在展览中，她利用虚拟和现实中的图像构建了一个富有的思辨的世界，在这里，动物成为她观看和感受周遭环境和事物的窗口。区别于AI生成的图像，白林在虚拟和现实之间的视觉探索是她寻找个人记忆的视觉表达，也是艺术家对心理经验的重建。
——何伊宁
白林此次展出的作品，更像是证明儿时印记在她成长过程中发现。用成人的世界来弥补、恢复儿童的记忆。构图的完整，色彩的饱和，画面的孤独感和情绪的安静，是作品中给人的第一感受。创作形式上运用了超现实的场景，这种非现实的场景创作灵感来源于成长过程中孤独和渴望体验，用这种理性的非现实表达、弥补、恢复她真实的自我。希望白林通过这次展览的作品，能给她未来人生点燃一盏灯。
——王庆松
与动物的连接总能成为白林制作图像的动机，幼年时在农场与马聊天的经验，使她的图像中遗留了一种朴素的去人类中心化视角，动物在白湖农场里作为主体进行诉说, 虚构的摄影以一种寓言式的手法生成叙事,这使得动物们兼具诗性与野性两种气质。
无论是饥渴的乌鸦，燃烧的马蹄还是光柱下的鸡，都在用拟人的修辞手法对被给定的环境做出回应。这一手法的使用反而是更为彻底的人类中心主义，动物们被迫在图像中体验欲望的苦楚，农场是为动物们建造的城市，城市演变成新阶层的牢笼。

“白湖农场”是被构建于图像中稳定场域，白林是基于15岁之前在老家农场生活的记忆再造而成，视觉化呈现出的不仅是安全屋般的可靠感，也充斥着像第一人称生存解密类游戏中的宁静的危险。

不仅是动物，白林将图像中的一切都渲染上了人性，两颗形似竹笋的物体被赋予了肌肤和肚脐，在村野中紧紧依偎着的。触摸这一知觉从动物性有机的滑向了植物性，像是梅洛庞蒂所叙述的世界之肉（The flesh of the world），不确定的身体触摸着周遭环境，将本体借给了世界。

出租屋作为外来城市居民的栖身之地，我们时常期许这一寓所是确定的，私密的，甚至是可以生产出”家”的幻象的。但近几年频繁的搬家和长期囿于家中两种经验相交织，迫使白林反复思考个人身体与寓所的关系。

她的创作似乎是直觉性的，图像中的内容通常是重复循环在脑海中的想法，是精神世界中的一瞬间，是潜意识对记忆的塑造和重建。但艺术家没有进行直接的现实拍摄，而是精心编导了一个世界，她着迷于怪诞、宁静、戏剧性的场景，对日常中的物件重新布置，从而导入了一种陌生化的诗性。

My entire childhood was spent in the village,where I spent a significant amount of time in the company of animals.I have witnessed a domestic horse giving birth to a pony, and often spent time alone with cows, sheep, chickens and trees. The details of living with animals have remained in my mind for decades. It would be "Animals, land, and plants have been recurring themes in my subconscious, which has also served as a starting point for my creative work."
In the past ten years of my life, frequent moving and an unsettled state have made me ponder the interdependent relationship between the body, environment, and emotions dormant in different spaces. This creation started from my long-term home state in Shanghai but was also shot in each city's temporary "home." In a state of spatial isolation and migration, i reflect on myself, explore my identity, memory and spatial connection while gazing at fragility and summoning lost forces of life.
Crows drinking water is an animal's instinctive need, a direct display of desire, their own fragility and vitality. Yet beauty and danger exist side by side -- the seemingly beautiful images in the image can be on the verge of danger, and the trauma, conflict, and violence hidden in life can be condensed again to summon an ineffable vulnerability of the city and a lost primordial energy.
——Text/Lin Bai
· Preface ·
The connection to animals have always been her motivation for making images. The experience of talking to horses on a farm as a child leaves a homely de-anthropocentric perspective in her images. The animals in the White Lake farm as the subject of the narrative, fictional photography in an allegorical way to generate narrative, which makes the animals both poetic and wild temperament.
Whether a crow dying of thirst, burning horse hooves, or a chicken under a column of light - all respond to their environment with anthropomorphic rhetoric. The use of this rhetoric is thoroughly anthropocentric; animals are forced to experience the pain of desire through images. Farms function as cities for animals, and cities become cages for new classes.

"White Lake Farm" is a stability region depicted in the image. Although the artist recreated it based on memories of living on a family farm before the age of 15. But visualization offers more than just a sense of safe-house reliability, It's also full of tranquil dangers like those found in first-person survival games.

Bai Lin humanizes everything in her images, including not only the animals but also two bamboo shoot-like objects that are given skin and navel, closely situated in the village field. The perception of touch transitions from animal-organic to plant-based, similar to Merleau-Ponty's description of the flesh of the world. The uncertain body touches its surroundings and contributes its noumenon to the world.

As a legal place of abode for city dwellers, we often expect a rented house to be certain, private, and even capable of creating the illusion of 'home'. However, frequent moves in recent years and being confined to her home have forced her to reconsider the relationship between her body and residence.

Her creation appears intuitive. The contents of these images often reflect repeated thoughts in the mind, moments from the spiritual world, and a subconscious shaping and reconstruction of memory. However, the artist did not capture reality directly; instead, she carefully choreographed an Otherworld that fascinates her with eerie, serene, and dramatic scenes. By rearranging everyday objects to introduce defamiliarization into poetic language.
