Mingdi
Wang
Mingdi Wang's practice explores the relationship between real space and photographic space. The time and space of a photograph displayed and isolated on a wall is quite different from our experience of real time and space. In this respect the photograph is quite remote from the viewer. The artist is therefore interested in connecting these two spaces by involving the viewer with the representational space of photograph. In his art piece Rebuild, Mingdi constructed a concrete wall which he then photographed. This photographic print is displayed within a broken gallery wall, turning the photograph into a part of he actual gallery space, inviting the viewer to approach and even touch the work.
Rebuild(2017)
作品探索了真实空间与摄影空间的关系。照片中的时空往往是过去的、孤立的并且与我们当下所处的空间是完全不同的。从这个角度来说，照片与观众保持着相当遥远的距离。因此，作者希望可以通过将观众带入重塑的摄影空间之中将两个空间建立联系。在作品“重建”的创作过程中，作者在工作室内修建了一面真实的混凝土墙，然后拍了下来并打印成高像素、大尺寸的照片。这张照片最终被展示在一个破碎的画廊墙壁内，将照片转变成画廊空间的一部分，邀请观众接近甚至触摸照片，并让观众陷入一种难辨真伪的幻像陷阱之中。
