人们总是在一个局限的空间里:家庭、community、社会、国家等。当有一个在“里面”的概念时,人们就会对“外面”充满着一种向往。人们总是觉得“外面”什么都有,离开村庄的外面的大城市有数不尽的成功;离开封闭的国家的外面有完全理想的自由;离开痛苦的外面有绝对的幸福。
但是,真的有“外面”存在吗?我怀着对“外面”这个概念创作了这个作品。
当你穿梭循环在这个门里的时候,你总会有一个“想要到外面”去的想法。但是当你不停的穿梭在门当中的时候,你会发现,“外面”和“里面”只不过是一个相对的空间,没有所谓的外面、也没有所谓的里面。
People are always in some form of a “limited space”, such as their family, community, society, or country. When there is a concept of "inside", people will be yearning for "outside". People always feel that ideal "outside": countless successes; complete freedom; absolute happiness. But does this "outside" really exist? I created this work by exploring the concept of "outside".
When you cycle through this door, you always have a concept of "wanting to go outside". But as you keep going through the door, you realise that 'outside' and 'inside' are just relative spaces, there is no such thing as outside or inside.
