Fish Tale Tally | Michelle Chang Qin

9月29日至11月3日，Michelle Chang Qin（1996年出生于重庆）将在P/////AKT呈现其实验新作展览Fish Tale Tally。通过物体与装置，Chang Qin将劳动——及其过程与产物——构想为向某种巨大缺席献上的祭品：被截断的言语、被遗忘的仪式、逃逸于集体记忆之外却留下难以言表之沉重负担的残缺历史。

Champollion fainted, she says, once he had wrested their secret from the hieroglyphs and saw them turn transparent. The serpent no longer with power to strike, but biting its tail. I smell my salts, my packets of words, panicked. I’m no longer sure whether they shape my reality or have too little mass to interact with naked matter. Then they would pass right through the earth as I will in death.
（Rosmarie Waldrop，“Conversation 12: On Hieroglyphs”，出自 Reluctant Gravities）

汲取流水线的物质与手势语汇，她构想出关于停顿与重复的雕塑式媒介。线线相扣，或密或疏，交织出关怀、装饰、过滤，或捕获与掩蔽的织物。她的作品源自生产场所常见的临时设施与过渡结构等即兴空间，展现出永恒的过渡状态与流动性，折射出人在日复一日单调劳作中未竟的思绪与漫游的化身神游状态面貌。
