当韩倩整理清空巴黎第一个住所时,她感到这个曾经生活了一年的屋宇被过往日常中的痕迹所萦绕,而那些消失的事物让她怀疑曾经的存在和记忆。
艺术家顺着滚筒粘黏房间每一寸存留的灰尘,试图通过这一行为将日常忽视的痕迹再次提取与塑造。这些收集的房间灰尘,最终被拼贴而成了一幅抽象画。艺术家试图去感知那些隐匿在时间中的细微介质,把回忆与无法忆起之物的结合当作唤起记忆和想象的途径。
Dust, an inch of breathing

When Qian was sorting out and clearing her first residence in Paris, she felt the lingering traces of her past daily life in the house where she had lived for a year. The disappearance of those things made her doubt the existence and memories of the past.
The artist meticulously collected every inch of lingering dust in the room with a roller, attempting to extract and reshape the overlooked traces of daily life through this action. The gathered room dust was eventually collaged into an abstract painting. The artist sought to perceive the subtle mediums hidden in time, using the combination of memories and unrememberable objects as a means to evoke recollection and imagination.
