别睡,这里有蛇(Don't Sleep There are Snakes),2024年
喝咖啡是艺术家在每日工作前一种习惯,它能够让自己的身体保持一种警觉。我们需要提高十二分的小心,来面对日常生活中的种种事与物。 不让日常走向一种无趣与平庸,因为那里藏着有毒的蛇。
Don't Sleep There are Snakes, 2024
Artist uses materials from the post-industrial era, such as metal, gold leaf, straws, plastic coffee lids, and ballpoint pen caps. Through the reorganization and extension of these ready-made objects, the work conveys the dilemmas and anxieties of modern life. While the piece does not directly express a relationship with technology, it metaphorically addresses the conveniences and hidden concerns brought about by industrialization.
It subtly suggests the contradictions within the human-material relationship. These everyday objects symbolize the ease of contemporary living, yet simultaneously serve as metaphors for industrialization and consumer society, harboring “poisonous snakes”—the anxieties, insecurities, and feelings of helplessness that lie hidden within the ordinary routines of daily life.
