About Sisyphus
In Greek mythology and Camus' philosophy, Sisyphus embodies contrasting interpretations. The former portrays him enduring endless repetition and suffering, while the latter suggests that regardless of tragedy or happiness, life is inherently absurd, yet this absurdity can validate human existence.
Rolling, repeating, cycling, overcoming, breaking, transcending.
Even fleeting moments, like 0.01 seconds, become solidified in this process. Yet, amidst the perpetual flow, there remains inherent value, a truth within the cycle. This ongoing debate is explored within my works. Flames ignite and extinguish as discs turn, droplets of water complete their cycle from liquid to gas under the influence of flame and gravity, and candlesticks, unable to stand alone, evoke contemplation. The viewing and interaction with the audience inspire spontaneous narratives and discussions: what are we talking about when we are talking about Sisyphus.
关于西西弗斯
关于西西弗斯,希腊神话和加缪提供了两种不同的理解。 第一:在无尽的疲惫中不断重复和承受生命的苦难。 第二,无论是悲剧还是幸福,我们都不可避免地生活在荒诞之中,但这种荒诞可以证明人的存在。
滚动,重复,循环 克服,打破,超越。
在这个过程中,即使是0.01秒也会被固化。但仍然可以证明的是,继续流动的事物和经验具有价值,在循环中,仍有一些东西是真实的。关于这场辩论的猜测在我的这组作品中提出。随着圆盘转动而点燃又熄灭的火焰,水滴在火焰和重力的作用下完成液态和气态的循环,以及永远无法独自站立的烛台。观众观看的过程和与之的互动都激发出了即兴的叙事和讨论:当我们在讨论西西弗斯的时候,我们在讨论什么。
