《吃火II》探讨了家庭记忆、女性身份以及宗族信仰,通过视觉与经验进行记忆考古。艺术家使用一系列摄影以及综合材料,重新想象庞大氏族中的女性原本充满限制的叙述,将经验转变为观看,由此来审视记忆中的家族权威与传统信仰。


签诗系列:“下降青龙现,雷声在半空”


在漫长的家族历史中,集体已然生成对记忆、规范和信仰的共识,但女性在其叙述中却如同幽灵一样无形,她们的诉求与创伤掩盖在家族传统与和谐之下。艺术家收集一系列照片、档案、文件,并利用虚拟与真实并置的图像重新展示家族内部的女性生活。庞大的族群内部是与前现代相交的边缘地带,女性长辈仍然执行着重复的劳动,受到来自权威的制约,用情感与体力维持着家族和谐。她们时常祭祀、敬拜、掷杯,然后又回到自己的日常身份中维持秩序,身体成为记忆与历史的载体,同时也裹挟着重复出现的创伤,它们源自家族权威、伴侣,以及自我内部的冲突


吃火系列:眼


展览呈现了艺术家陈晟宇自2021年起的一系列家庭摄影作品,通过听觉、视觉以及触觉,进行对记忆的解救与家庭的质询。艺术家将摄影作为核实与拒斥个人成长经验的工具,开始对过去问责。作品则成为一个充满渴望的空间,通过演绎那些不在场的暴力,最终处理与关怀家庭历史里未名的伤痛。

▲ Like A Thurder in the Air” from the series “Lottery poetry


"Eating Fire II" delves into the realms of familial memory, female identity, and ancestral belief systems, employing both visual and experiential methodologies to conduct an archaeology of memory. Through a series of photographic works and mixed media, the artist reimagines the traditionally constrained narratives of women within expansive clan structures, transforming lived experiences into visual inquiry to scrutinise the authority and traditional beliefs embedded within family memory.


▲ Eye” from the series “Eating Fire”


Throughout the long history of the family, a collective consensus has emerged around memory, norms, and beliefs. However, women remain almost spectral in these narratives, their voices and traumas obscured beneath the veneer of family tradition and harmony. The artist gathers a series of photographs, archives, and documents, juxtaposing the virtual with the real to re-present the lives of women within the family. The large clan operates within a liminal space where the pre-modern intersects with the present, where elder women continue to perform repetitive labor, constrained by authoritative forces, sustaining familial harmony through emotional and physical exertion. They engage in rituals, worship, and divination, only to return to their daily roles, their bodies becoming vessels of memory and history, while also bearing the recurrent scars inflicted by familial authority, relationships, and internal conflicts.



▲ Like A Ship In the Storm ” from the series “Lottery poetry

The exhibition presents a series of family photography works by artist Chen Shengyu, created since 2021, that engage with memory through auditory, visual, and tactile means, seeking to rescue and question familial history. Photography is employed as a tool to verify and challenge the experiences of personal growth, initiating an interrogation of the past. The works create a space filled with yearning, where the artist reenacts absent violence, ultimately tending to and caring for the unnamed wounds within family history.
