我第一次邂逅中国文化应该是在45年前：一个中世纪开放的广场上陈列的一枚神秘的具有异国风情的硬币。于是我决定根据记忆中那枚硬币的轮廓为这次展览进行创作。作品“日晷”共有48件，每件基本由三部分组成。底座部分的设计表现了自然生长的力量，中间片状物代表云朵，上部造型则来自于我在中国看到的不同物体--街景，宾馆房间，晚餐餐桌，对于我来说都即熟悉又极具异国风情。射入博物馆的阳光也成为我作品的一部分。在一年中最长的那一天，太阳升得最高的时候，阳光将正好投射在作品的正中央。那时，其中的六件作品将会在日光照射下，周期性地发出灿烂夺目的光亮.
It must have been 45 years ago I had my first encounter with Chinese culture: a coin alien and mysterious due to a square opening in the middle. As a reference to this memory I decided to use the contours of that coin for the piece in this exhibition, This piece “Sundial” exist of 48 elements, most of them made of 3 parts. The bottom part represents the natural force of growths, the middle part represents a cloud and the parts on top are forms that drew my attention during my stay in China. Forms I have seen on streets, hotel rooms and dinner tables, simultaneously familiar and alien. One of many spots of sun light present in the museum has become part of the piece. At the longest day of the year at the highest point of the sun this spot will be exactly positioned in the middle of the piece. At that day during regular intervals 6 of the elements will be specifically illuminated by the sun. |
