标准雕像

Sculpture Performance video 雕塑 行为 录像 2019

The physical confrontation with this world is an unavoidable existence from birth to death. In the process, a standardized way is established to meet certain rules. At the same time, it is also possible to explore the boundaries of life. In his "standard statue", Song Xi pushed the hanging knife at a position, so that the pushed knife touched the body in the original position in the reaction force, and then reached the largest scale position that popped up after the knife acted on the body. Push the knife out again, the knife sculpts the body in the reaction force, and repeats this behavior. Carve a stone statue like a sculptural technique, and he carved his own body. In the process of exploring the boundaries of life, man constantly shapes his body and consciousness to confront this world. From material assistance to the creation of spiritual consciousness, the possibility of challenging the limits of life. When man is acting in this world, the world reacts to man.

肉身与这个世界对抗，是从出生到死亡过程中无法回避的存在，在过程中为符合某种规则建立标准化方式，同时这也是探索生命边界的可能。宋兮在他的“标准雕像”中，在一个位置推动悬挂的刀，使推出去的刀在回作用力中触碰原位置的身体，然后在走到刀作用身体后弹出的最大尺度位置，再一次把刀推出去，刀在反作用力中对身体产生雕刻，反复执行此行为。如同雕塑手法般雕刻一座石像，而他雕刻的是自己的肉身。人在探索生命边界的过程中，对身体和意识不断的塑造，来对抗这个世界。从物质辅助到精神意识的创造，来挑战生命极限的可能。人在作用这个世界时，这个世界又对人产生反作用力。
