Tick Away is an installation of 6 LED light tubes with inscriptions of poems on each one’s surface. Three of them are quotes from the famous poets Jorge Luis Borges, Charles Baudelaire’s Le Balcon, and Pablo Neruda’s Twenty Love Poems and A Song of Despair; the other three are written by the artist. Through the management of re-combination, these poems are extracted from their original contexts; the romantic sense has been erased while the literal meaning of texts is being emphasized. Thus, the six sentences of poems have become slogans in the end.
In this lighting installation, the three “previous” poets have made a historical connection with the “current” artist. In this piece, the link between the past and the present is concrete, and it also points to an intangible future. We human always put hope into the future; but the future is actually unpredictable. The wandering status is a certain kind of waiting with vague hopes. The inscription on light tubes suggests the artist’s visionary of the inner world and daily life of a future society that has complicated emotions including anxiety, unsettlement, and loneliness.

《未来症》是6支LED光管组成的装置,光管表面分别是不同的诗句刻字。其中三句分别摘抄于三位著名的诗⼈:博尔赫斯(Borges)、波尔莱尔(Baudelaire《阳台(Le balcon)》)和聂鲁达(Pablo Neruda《⼆⼗⾸情歌 和⼀⾸绝望的诗(Twenty Love Poems and A Song of Despair)》),另外是艺术家写下的三个句⼦。这些诗句从原诗的意境中被抽取,经过再组合的处理,其本⾝带有的浪漫性已经被抹除,文字传达的语义却被加强,最后呈现出来的是六句略带标语性质的句⼦。

在这组灯光装置中,属于“过去”的三位诗⼈与属于“现在”的艺术家之间产⽣了⼀种必然的历史联系。过去和现在的有形结合,同时也指向无形的未来。⼈类往往将希望寄托于未来,而未来却是不可预期的,徘徊的状态实际是一种虚无飘渺的等待。灯管上的文字预示着艺术家眼中未来社会中⼈类的内⼼世界和日常生活,透露着焦虑、不安、孤独的复杂情绪。
