The Wandering Lake is a personal, associate, narrative meditation on mourning, caregiving, geopolitics and landscape. The Wandering Lake project continues Chang’s interest in cultural imaginaries. In this work, she has returned to an interest in her body as performer and the embodiment of site through performance. It uses water as a medium of politics and poetics. The project is inspired by the book The Wandering Lake by Sven Hedin. At the turn of the 20th century, Swedish explorer Hedin was commissioned by the Chinese government to find a modern silk road, or a route through the deserts of western China accessible by car. Simultaneously, he documented his journey to find and map The Wandering Lake had mysteriously disappeared from its original location and had been mismapped and lost before being found in different place. Chang is interested in how when a geographical body shifts positions, it displaces and calls into question the systems and the identities built up around it. It moves her to think about how unstable landscape can mirror and rupture our sense of reality, place, and self.
《游移湖》是一个个人的，关联的，对于哀悼、关怀、地缘政治和景观的叙事冥想。游移湖项目继承了张怡对文化假象的兴趣。在这项工作中，她回到了用她的身体来表演以及通过表演来体现对环境的探究上。作品用水来作为政治和诗学的媒介。该项目受由斯文·赫定的著作《游移湖》启发。在20世纪初，瑞典探险家斯文·赫定由中国政府委托寻找一个现代丝绸之路，或通过中国西部驾车前往沙漠的路线。同时，他记录了他的旅途发现并标注了游移湖。游移湖神秘地从原来的位置消失，在不同的地方被发现之前就已经被错误的标记和丢失了。令张怡感兴趣的是：当一个地域移动位置，它的错位如何令人开始质疑那些系统和建立在系统周围的身份。这让她开始考虑不稳定的景观是如何制造镜像和破裂我们的现实、地点和自我。

在这个迄今为止艺术家最为大型的个展上，张怡向观众展示了一个跨学科的综合呈现，以众多新近创作重构了艺术家早年间对于身份认知及其游移边界的研究。于皇后美术馆的此次展览“游移湖2009-2017”将焦点从艺术家的身体上转移开来，投射到了一个不断迁移的水体上，并借此隐喻性别流动性和以太网热潮乃至气候变化和人类移居等议题，整体呈现引人入胜且感人至深。由Hitomi Iwasaki策划，展览谈及了一名孩子的诞生和一位父亲的逝去，以及更多全球性的消亡——语言、文化乃至参与塑造了这些内容的地理特征。一个贯穿始终、时而难以捉摸却强大有力的主题则为物质和精神层面上的不稳定性，以及跨越了作品间边界的意义。
For this eagerly awaited exhibition, her largest to date, Ms. Chang has created an integrated, multidisciplinary installation of mostly new work that reframes her early investigations of identity and its straying boundaries. Engrossing and deeply moving, “The Wandering Lake 2009-2017,” at the Queens Museum, mostly shifts attention away from the artist’s body, relying on moving water as a metaphor for concerns ranging from gender fluidity and internet surfing to climate change and migration. Curated by Hitomi Iwasaki, the show touches on a child’s birth and a father’s death, as well as more global losses — of languages, cultures and even the geographical features that shape them. A running theme, sometimes elusive but potent nonetheless, is material and psychological instability, and meaning that spills the boundaries of individual works.
