Gao Yuan, Alice Wang | 叠影 @ NAFI
February 14, 2026NAFI2025南京国际艺术季于今年9月19日至11月16日在南京四方艺术湖区美术馆举办。 三位致力于策展、写作与文化领域的专业人士张莉娸、贺潇、孟宪晖联合担任策展团队,共同推动NAFI从传统艺博会模式走向“策展+影像+在地联动”的全新形态,带来全新升级的「NAFI 叠影」,齐聚国内外优秀艺术家及优质画廊,展现影像艺术魅力的同时,呈现涵盖绘画、装置、雕塑等多种类别的艺术作品。 影片开头幽异的背景乐和时钟的滴嗒声如同催眠师的怀表,带我们潜入清醒与梦境的罅隙。我们跟随主人公,在幻影交叠的现实与异境之间游移——流云飘浮的街角,着火的房间,山林间飞舞的一双手……在这些光怪陆离的遭遇中,主人公以另一种方式经历世界,重新认识自身。 高源一以贯之的动画生产理念令作品富有鲜明的个人风格。在动画短片《她从暗处来》中,高源独立完成了编剧、导演、原画和动画制作等一系列庞杂的工作,主人公的形象原型、片中音乐和音效则来自于其长期搭档潘丽。高源的绘画和动画创作相辅相承,影片中每一个场景都由艺术家手绘而成,《云经过的地方》和《征兆》两件布面绘画作品便是片中的场景原画。 《她从暗处来》不仅是一部独立的动画短片作品,同时,高源近年来正持续创作以其为基础的长篇动画电影。 如果几何是一种外星技术,人类在很久以前偶然发现,用来与其他世界交流,那会怎样?中美洲金字塔与射电望远镜有什么共同之处?除了来自外太空的电磁信号,不时穿透地球大气层的还有火球,就像2013年2月15日的早上,划过俄罗斯的天空冲向车里雅宾斯克市的那个样子。 《角锥体与抛物线I》运用了电影《超时空接触》中的片段,与之并置交织的是在新墨西哥州的射电天文观测台“超大阵列”(Very Large Array)以及墨西哥尤卡坦半岛的三座玛雅金字塔(卡拉克穆尔、乌斯马尔和科巴)用16毫米胶片拍摄的场景。这部作品是多集系列影片中的第一篇章,艺术家将几何形状想象成进入平行世界的端口。 用于收听天体和天文活动发出的信号的现代射电望远镜的抛物线形状,以及与之相似的,古代祭司用来与人类领域之外的力量进行沟通的玛雅金字塔的角锥体形状,都可以被理解为进入其他宇宙维度的方式。正如第一篇章结尾处那个无实体的声音所问:“那里有人在吗?” 《角锥体与抛物线II》是王凝慧自2017年起开始创作的系列影片的第二部分,调查人们如何通过几何结构与未知的宇宙产生联结,从而探索我们与自然的关系。 该系列没有预设的终章,可被称为无尽系列影片,因此每个篇章允许一定程度的松散和独立,艺术家也得以自由地探索系列影片这一形式。从拼贴电影到散文电影和抽象电影,每部影片有各自不同的体裁且相互独立。同时,所有影片的集合形成一个完整的作品,有着共同的母题,叙事线索相互串联。随着系列的持续创作和发展,《角锥体与抛物线》不断变化生长,影片的开放性或将滋养预料之外的新鲜想法和形式上的实验。 系列的第一篇章为古老建筑的角锥形结构与现代射电望远镜的抛物线形态之间的辩证关系打下了基石。影片中包含艺术家获得的现成的行车记录仪拍摄画面,记录了火球冲向俄罗斯车里雅宾斯克的末日景象。影片开头的大爆炸象征着我们在宇宙中的不稳定性,我们身处于强大的自然力量中一个脆弱的星球。我们与自然的关系不局限于地球,我们所身处的自然的绝大部分领域对于人类和其他生命体而言是不适宜生存的。 《角锥体与抛物线》的第二部影片开头是一段三分钟的身体扫描冥想,引导观者在黑暗中将注意力转移到身体,为观影的体验做好准备。随后屏幕上出现《三体》中的一句引言:“三天后……凌晨一点到五点之间,整个宇宙将为你闪动”,仿佛一句咒语。影片是艺术家的旅行记录,记载了她所踏足的超现实而壮丽的自然风景。其中多次出现艺术家在加州二十九棕榈村搭建NASA(美国国家航空航天局)JOVE项目的射电望远镜的片段。这部拼贴电影记录了艺术家身体力行地通过肉身触及和联结宇宙的征途。 《角锥体与抛物线III》是一部结构主义影片,在宛如外星的地貌上徐徐展开——极昼子夜太阳下苍茫的冰原、起伏延绵的白沙漠、熔岩台地……这些景观映射出心理的错位感和涌动的感知流。王凝慧在六年间使用16毫米胶片和GoPro,横跨犹他州、新墨西哥州、亚利桑那州、冰岛和北极等“类太空”环境拍摄了这部影片,构建出介于纪录片、推想小说和哲学探究之间的临界空间,镜头语言流露出她在途中身与心的孑然,并将地球上的六边形元素与宇宙浩渺莫测的几何体联系在一起。伴随着艺术家口述的日记体诗意旁白,几何结构与家族秘辛交织缠绕,影片逐渐深入记忆、物质与宇宙秩序之间错综复杂的逻辑勾连。Read more -
