艺术家创作理念
在日常生活实践中，米歇尔·德塞都展现了两种完全不同的观看城市的视角:以城市规划 者或者政府的角度，自上而下，他称之为“战略”的视角;和以城市空间使用者-居民的角 度出发，他称之为“手段”的视角，它通常在街道层面并带有偶然性。战略强调的是有组 织的、“适当”且制度化，他们能够产生分类和占据空间，而手段则有着自由和随意的属 性，在他人的场域，发挥着作用。手段是指那些被支配的人，使用或借用“他们所不熟 知的力量”的行动。这不是一种系统论述，而是转瞬即逝的能力和姿态。
如果德赛都帮助我们思考如何用他所谓“栖居的艺术”，来抗衡权力统治体系对于“社会的 概述”,那摄影师拍摄日常的空间，关注个人视角和社会客观进程和机械视角之间的关 系，能让我们思考居住的形式本身，是如何产生其他的社会和审美形式的。这不是仅仅 突破摄影器材的“局限”,也是用艺术去探索和捕捉我们走过的看不见的路和对“空间的重 新定义”，也就是说，用艺术来重新定义我们栖居的生活环境。
“重建”是对学习如何艺术栖居的一个实验。我尝试通过叠加的方式，来营造一种观看日 常生活不同的视角。作品完全使用传统胶片和暗房制作，制作方法涉及大量对原始材料 的操作和调整。这既包括重复拍摄空间的实践，也包括制作中机器复制的反复。如果说 重复可以强化社会组织中的真实细节的可能，那么超越常理的重复在作品中的运用，则 展现了真实世界的梦幻，而不是影像的真实。
我们让展览空间保持开放。希望“栖居的艺术”这种实验不局限于艺术品本身，而是能够 延伸到观众的体验。观众的角色既是我的同行者、共同居住者，也是共同创造者，希望 观众在参观展览的过程中探索自己的方式，创造属于自己的故事、意义和乐趣，并与周 围的伙伴分享。

ARTIST STATEMENT
In The Practice of Everyday Life, Michel de Certeau distinguishes between two perspectives on urban space; one, which is top down and abstracting, the view of the urban planner or the state, he defines as “strategies”; the other, which is street level and contingent, the view of the everyday user or inhabitant of urban space, he calls “tactics.” Whereas strategies emphasize hegemonic positions that are organized, “proper,” and institutional, are able to produce categories and take up space, tactics are fugitive and guerilla-like in their need to operate in a field that is not their own. Tactics are those operations where the dominated barrow or put to use the “forces alien to them,” not discourses but fleeting capacities and gestures.
If de Certeau helps us to think about how “an entire society resists being reduced” by a dominant apparatus of power through what he calls the “fine art of dwelling,” the practice of photographing everyday space, a practice that foregrounds the tension between individual perspective and impersonal processes of social and mechanical vison, allows us to consider how forms of habitation are themselves productive of alternative social and aesthetic forms. This is not to reduce photography to a mere instrument of “resistance,” but to attempt to explore its ability to capture the indiscernible ways we move through and inhabit space as an artistic practice of “reclaiming space,” as a practice, that is, of dwelling as a re-en-visioning of our lived environment.
Re-en-vision is an experiment in learning to dwell artistically. Taking repetition as both a method and metaphor, I have sought to develop an alternative approach to social photography that dwells in and upon the everyday as a space of creative agency. Producing elliptically in analogue film, my work involves manipulating the raw materials of the photographic apparatus and the context of photography with an eye towards the multiplication and layering of detail. This includes both the practice of repetitively photographing a space as well as the automatic process of mechanical reproduction. If repetition has the potential to strengthen the effect of the real by emphasizing the conventional social organization of detail, then in using repetition to describe more than is socially adequate or to describe in a way that interrupts the everyday hierarchical organization of detail I look to increase not the realism of the image but the unreal effect of the real.
In the spirit of collaboration, I have purposely left the organization of the exhibition space open- ended. It is my desire that the experimental relation to the art of dwelling not be limited to the artworks alone, but extend to the experience of you, the viewer. As fellow travelers, co-occupants, and cocreators, I invite you to explores your own paths as you move through the space of the exhibition, to produce your own narratives, meaning, and pleasure, which I hope you will then actively share with those around you. Please participate and encounter one another! In doing so you will be adding your creativity to a process of collective social production.
