装置/视觉艺术--“人类世”:地质环境变迁与种族变迁
"人类世或称人类纪"一词是荷兰大气化学家、诺贝尔奖获得者P·克鲁岑(CRUTZEN)提出,是从地质学词汇借用而来。科学家们认为,人类的活动已经彻底改变了地球,不仅仅是地表,而且连地质年代都改变了。
从地质年代(Geological Epoch)上看,目前所处的年代属于"全新世"(Holocene),大约已经有11000年的历史。但是,许多证据都表明,在1950年以后的几十年中,地球的一些地质特征发生了明显变化。科学家们说,人类活动很可能引发了一个新的地质年代----人类世(Anthropocene)。
此作品的出发点就是通过装置视觉概念表现地球的“人类世”。作品通过一些布景设计来表现一些认为造成的主要气候变化。二氧化碳增加,全球变暖,化石燃料枯竭,塑料垃圾以及即将灭绝的物种。集合变化明显的三个阶段按照发生顺序排列,从结束时间开始,到人类更新后结束。
The starting point of research for the visual concept of “Earth” was Anthropocene - a contested new geological epoch marked by major human impact on the planet’s environment. Our set design addresses the topic of anthropogenic climate change by engaging some of its key tropes; increased atmospheric CO2, global warming, burnout of fossil fuels, plastic trash and the impending extinction of species. The distinct three phases of the set are aligned in order of apparent succession, starting with the end times and ending in post-human renewal.
在第一阶段,整个阶段被锁在一个透明的塑料立方体中,由沿其边缘运行的膜所限定。立方体充满了凝结,慢慢地充满了厚厚的气溶胶,暗示着行星体的生物圈。这是一个封闭的生态系统的基本模型,它的大气维持生命,几乎完全是地球的一个模型。当氮、臭氧和二氧化碳的软云达到临界水平时,结构将倒塌,使其居民裸露,暴露在宇宙和黑暗的真空中。
In the first phase the entire stage is locked into a transparent plastic cube, defined by membranes running along its outer edges. The cube is suffused with condensation and slowly filling with thick aerosols suggesting a biosphere of a planetary body. This is a basic model for a closed ecosystem whose atmosphere sustains life, quite literally - a model for Earth. When the soft clouds of nitrogen and ozone and carbon dioxide reach the critical level, the structure will collapse leaving its inhabitants bare, exposed to the cosmos and the dark vacuum.
一旦到达立方体内部的转换点,进入下一阶段;蓝色激光光束的欧几里德3D网格无声地侵入整个战区。立方体的薄膜塌陷,积聚的薄雾扩大到观众区,使蓝色基质清晰可见。塑料箔残渣疏散通过侧通道和空的舞台,光向量作为唯一剩下的元素,颠覆一切的冷,毫无意义的几何。这是一个后世界的舞台,以无家可归和非人的超脱为特征。
Once the transition point inside the cube is reached, enter next phase; an Euclidean 3D grid of blue laser beams silently invades the entire theatre space. The membranes of the cube collapse and the accumulated haze expands into the audience area, making the blue matrix clearly visible. The residue of plastic foil is evacuated through the side passages and the stage is left empty, with light vectors as the only remaining element, subverting everything to its cold, senseless geometry. This is a post-world stage marked by the sense of homelessness and inhuman detachment.
在下一个场景里,抽象的自然环境与前两个片段形成鲜明的对比。写实主义的深林最初的生长场景滑动进入舞台,如生命的第一次呼吸,一部分真正的有机物开始生长,这个场景让观众都非常的感动。这是最后一个场景和新地球。
In the next image, in stark contrast to the abstract nature of the previous two - a life-size, hyperrealist fragment of primordial forest slides forward onto the edge of the proscenium - a breathing, living slice of real organic growth, almost touching the audience. This is the last scene and the New Earth.
