REALITY AND THE 'REAL'
真實與真實 / Reality and the "Real" 2019
吳敏慧曾旅居德國,攻讀碩士的生活也讓她有更多的時間對面對藝術。長時間專注於藝術創作上,也讓敏慧對創作產生不同的理解。這次展覽更是由模仿展開。“若作品如鏡般複製物件,也可以是藝術嗎?" 敏慧對自己提出了這樣一個問題。故此,敏慧希望以一種富規則性的,嚴苛,不帶有主觀的表現方式,以忠實複製再現對象。同時在選擇模仿的對象上,藝術家致力選擇生活中最平凡,最容易接觸到的東西,例如蛋、花生,核桃、石頭等。選擇這些物件進行“複製”,目的是不想物件本身帶有象徵含義,引發觀眾的聯想。而藝術品的定義端賴觀眾,藝術創作與欣賞為一個共生過程。當偽造的”真實”與真實的物件並置於觀眾面前,成功地隱藏其中。平凡的物件加劇觀眾在凝視過後發現是藝術品的趣味性。此時“複製品”才被定義為藝術品。

Having lived in Germany for her master degree of art gave Man Wai more time to focus in art. In this process she has developed a different understanding of the artistic creation. This exhibition is further developed by this theme as well.“If the artwork replicates objects like a mirror, can it be art?” Man Wai raised such a question for herself. Therefore, Man Wai hopes to faithfully copy and reproduce objects in aregular, strict, and objective way of expression. At the same time, in the choice of the imitated objects, the artist is committed to choosing the most ordinary and most accessible things in life, such as eggs, peanuts, walnuts, stones and so on. Selecting these objects for “copying”, her purpose is not to have the symbolic meaning of the object itself, causing the association of the audience. But rather, the definition of art depends on the audience, and artistic creation and appreciation become a symbiotic process. It is when the forged "reality" and the real objects are placed in front of the audience at the same time, and are successfully hidden among themselves. Ordinary objects exacerbate the audience's interest in discovering art in what they are gazing at. At this point the "replica" is defined as a work of art.. |
