关于展览

彭可在展览“接踵而过”中的创作过程是一次图像于摄影书籍，个人经验于现实情境之间的游走。该展览从《盐水池塘 Salt Ponds》系列中的图像作为起点，试图去思考每一张照片是如何在被阅读的前与后都保持自身相对独立的同时又回归于现实；也试图讨论在当下快速变化发展的城市环境中，照片内被延续的情境是如何温柔地检验着人们相对应复杂的心理状态。彭可在展览中的装置作品和她在制作图像背后的观看与捕捉一样，都根植于现实又以出人意料的逻辑反馈给现实。艺术家将介于都市与生活的日常景观从现实场景中抽离，同被记录下的图像一起进行情景的重构。比如装置作品中上海特有的“龙门架晾衣”的方式和绚烂的广告灯箱，其承载着描绘私人情境与公共环境的图像从现实穿梭至摄影书籍再在画廊空间这一陌生的语境中重现。繁华都市与日常生活之间的空隙，图像本身与图像装置之间的互相反馈，原有事物的常规联系因不同的观看方式而产生的不规则秩序都可以成为人们和他们所处城市之间不安关系的隐喻。

The exhibition I’ve seen many people although they’ve never seen me is Ke Peng’s experimental practice wandering between images from photography book and personal experiences from the reality. This exhibition expands from Ke Peng’s photography work in Salt Ponds, which is an attempt to consider how a photo could be read independently and stand on its own; to discuss how a photo could make a scene last forever so that to constantly reflect different psychological states of people living in fast developing cities. Similar to Peng’s photography work, her installation work in this exhibition is also firmly rooted in reality but with unexpected logic. In this exhibition, Peng reconstructs a situation between the familiar and the unfamiliar by combining the extracted daily scenes with her photography work. Peng believes things from the reality can be possibly regarded as her materials for creation, such as different unique ways of hanging clothes in Shanghai and giant light boxes for commercial advertisement, etc. In this exhibition, Peng utilizes Longmen frames and the light box to bring scenes out from the real life to the photography book and then present them within a defamiliarized context in the gallery space. I’ve seen many people although they’ve never seen me intends to suggest psychological effect on the people through their different living situations, different ways of looking at things and different languages of self-reflections.
