SKY CONSTELLATIONS

2019-2020 // 120MM MULTIPLE EXPOSURE // BROOKLYN [USA]

Our external world is reconstructed within us as we pass through it. Its impact goes beyond its ability to shape our exterior experience; it also transforms our interior spaces—our personal relation to the world around us. How this transformation occurs and what it builds in us is at the heart of my practice.

‘Sky Constellations’ reconstructs my perception on film. Turning the camera towards the sky and using a combination of multiple exposures and physical masking in front of the film allows me to capture the thick nothingness of the night sky in new geometric compositions. Building the work between myself and the sky—co-creating them as expressions of my inner geographies.

Juxtaposing photographs and poems creates a dialogue for the audience to join. The poems aim at a reconstruction of language—a search for voice. The poems have internal logic that follows my obsession with aligning shapes and building new spaces. A dialogue between the poems and the photos opens the work to new views and interpretations.

The process of how these works are made, exposed using only the camera, is important to the final expression of the work. A description can be found here.

當我們穿行於外在世界之中時，世界也在我們內部被重新建構。它的影響不僅形塑我們的外在經驗，同時也轉化我們的內在空間——也就是我們與周遭世界之間的個人關係。這樣的轉化如何發生、又在我們之中建構了什麼，正是我創作實踐的核心。

《Sky Constellations》將我的感知重構於底片之上。透過將相機指向天空，並結合多重曝光與置於底片前方的實體遮蔽，我得以以全新的幾何構成，捕捉夜空那濃稠的「虛無」。作品在我與天空之間生成——作為我內在地景的共同創作與表現。

將攝影與詩作並置，為觀眾創造一個可進入的對話空間。這些詩試圖重構語言——是一場對聲音與表述方式的探索。詩作具有其內在邏輯，延續我對形狀對齊與新空間建構的執著。詩與影像之間的對話，為作品開啟了新的觀看角度與詮釋可能。

這些作品的製作過程——僅透過相機完成曝光——對作品最終的表現至關重要。相關的製作說明可於此處查閱。
