Artist Statement

Our duo’s practice takes the friction between art theory, philosophy, and practice as its point of departure. A profound tension between direct natural experience and the weight of historical materials and imagery runs through our work. We aim to arrive at a lighthearted and playful reconciliation between these poles—using nimble, endearing organic forms to buoyantly carry structures imbued with historical gravity, thereby enacting an active intervention upon historical imagery. By attending to the dynamic connections and heterogeneous assemblages that bridge different mediums and traditions, we seek to recompose and reanimate fragments of historical images. In doing so, we aspire to evoke a dense and sincere contemporary emotion—a renewed, emergent tension rooted in tradition yet brimming with prospective energy.

艺术家宣言

我们的双人组合以艺术理论和哲学与实践之间的冲突为切入点进行艺术实践探索：直接的自然经验和历史材料与图像之间的深刻张力贯穿于我们的实践。我们意图在两者间达成一种轻盈而俏皮的和解，尝试以灵动、可爱的有机形态，轻盈地承载那些具有厚重历史意味的形式，对历史意象进行积极干预。在关注不同媒介和传统之间的动态连接和异质装配的过程中，我们尝试对历史图像的碎片进行重组与激活，使其唤起一种绵密真挚的当代情感，焕发出既根植传统又饱含前瞻能量的新质张力。
