inner flow Gallery于2024年5月4日推出群展「巨物移动，身体失重」。此次展览将把画廊的建筑结构视为一个整体，呈现包蓉、胡佳艺、金佳辰、李泽韬、王婧、谢堃、周皞、张婕、赵宇共9位艺术家的作品。展览模拟一种面对无法撼动的巨大体系所产生的思维幻觉，和肉身对抗自然规律带来的极端生理反应。希望通过9位艺术家的创作和思考，触发我们本能层面最原初的感受。本次展览由陈羽丰策划，于五四青年节开幕，持续至2024年6月9日。
inner flow Gallery presents the group exhibition: as Mountain, as Feather, launching on May 4, 2024. The exhibition considers the gallery’s architectural structure as a unified whole, showcasing works by Bao Rong, Hu Jiayi, Jin Jiachen, Li Zetao, Wang Jing, Xie Kun, Zhou Hao, Zhang Jie, and Zhao Yu. It stimulates a mental illusion that arises from facing an unyielding massive system and the extreme physiological response to challenging natural laws. Through the works and reflections of nine artists, it aims to evoke our most primal instincts. Curated by Chen Yufeng, the exhibition coincides with China’s Youth Day.

这个巨大的沉默物体有很多面目和潜在形态，它会在既定的时刻展现出其中一面，又在另一时刻显现出隐藏面，无人能站在一个全然开阔的视角看到这个神秘生物的全貌。它只是静止地伫立在原地，却让人感觉到匀速逼近的压迫感，奇妙、诱人、充满危险，如沼泽坍缩。
飞机行进在一条闪着微光的隧道里，长时间的黑暗使他的视线和意识变得模糊，无效的抵抗只能让他选择放弃控制，精神主体像困兽般需要去应付那些陌生的情绪。瞬间的一场颠簸让他重新感受到了身体，如清醒梦，他意识到赤裸的灵魂从被让渡的肉身中分离出来，从和谐回归到了混乱。
故事由此开始……
“巨物”所指代的突兀视觉奇观常常在科幻电影中作为超自然的造物出现，体现出一种携带恐怖气息的崇高之美，当下的技术加速、生产过剩、激素泛滥，同样也催生出许多寓言式的新巨物。我们沉浸在这些被怪诞填充的现实中，人类固有的动物性开始蜷缩。在注意力高度集中的一个出神状态中，精神以一种“失重”的方式抽离出来，压抑的内在情感试图挣脱肉身寻求超越性的维度，用迷狂的激情直视恐惧和惨淡。
对待“新异化”和“赤裸生命”的态度决定了当下社会的样貌，而穿梭于这复杂结构中的艺术家亦成为衡量和批判社会思想的重要指标。作为个体的艺术家固然不能以全知者的视角俯瞰全貌，但珍贵的是，他们能用经验和直觉的方式突破原有叙事，剖析和审判。

This colossal, silent entity wears many faces and latent forms, revealing one at a time and hiding another in the next moment. No one can stand from an all-encompassing perspective to behold this mysterious creature in its entirety. It stands motionless, exuding a sense of steadily encroaching pressure that is marvellous, enticing, and fraught with danger, akin to the collapse of a swamp.
The aircraft moves through a dimly lit tunnel, prolonged darkness blurring vision and consciousness. Ineffectual resistance forces the surrender of control, and the spiritual essence contends with unfamiliar emotions like a caged animal. A momentary jolt reconnects with the body, resembling a lucid dream and revealing the separation of the naked soul from relinquished flesh, returning from harmony to chaos.
The story unfolds…
The reference to “mountain” often evokes a supernatural presence in science fiction films, embodying a sublime beauty tinged with terror. The rapid pace of technological advancement, overproduction, and rampant hormonal proliferation has given birth to many fable-like mountains. Immersed in this surreal reality, humanity’s innate animalistic instincts begin to contract. During intense focus, the mind detaches in a “feather-like” manner as suppressed inner emotions strive to transcend the physical realm, confronting fear and desolation with frenzied passion.
