1997
The Trees
100 Trees, 25 Mirrors (100×100 cm each)
Solo Exhibition at the Art Gallery of the Central Academy of Fine Arts


作品分别在两个空间呈现,空气中弥漫着泥土和树木的自然气息。

一个空间中,50棵树被连根提拔向上,离地50cm,树的根茎被映衬在地面的镜中,我们从未有过从底部观看树木根茎的经验;同样,在另一个空间里,50棵树从展厅的天花板上向下悬挂,我们也从未体验过向下生长的树会呈现何种景象。

The work was presented in two separate spaces, where the air was permeated with the natural scent of soil and trees.

In one space, 50 trees were uprooted and lifted 50 cm above the ground. Their roots were mirrored on the floor beneath, offering a perspective we never experience—viewing tree roots from below. Similarly, in the other space, 50 trees were hung upside down from the exhibition hall ceiling, presenting a scene we have never encountered: trees that appear to be growing downward.
