给建筑物出一点汗

<sub>这件作品的雏形是在18年，课题要求寻找一个空间并在里面放置一件符合空间的作品。
我交出的提案是给日均四十度的玻璃工房出“汗”，由于当时是短期课题，提交几颗测试件之后便草草结束。

直到今年我到了景德镇，空气的潮湿程度使得体感仿佛是整个人泡在水里。
有一天邻居小福说“又开始返潮了，墙壁、地面上出了好多细密的小水珠”，使我再一次想起了“给建筑物出一点汗”。

这些小水珠其实是生活里细微不易察觉的存在，平时散布在空气中，
满足条件之后短暂地化为水珠出现在地板上，时间一到又消失不见，仿佛是游动的存在。

我想，所谓“游动的存在”——存在与不存在之间的实质其实是存在而不易察觉，
而艺术的价值之一可能是扩张日常中的习以为常，使人从无意识到意识到，从未察觉到察觉到。

恰巧这一次收到广州盛夏展览的邀约，我想炎炎夏日，正适合给建筑物出一点汗。</sub>


The prototype of this work was created in 2018. The assignment was to find a space and place a piece that fits that space. My proposal was to make the glass workshop, which averages forty degrees daily, "sweat." Since it was a short-term project at the time, it ended hastily after submitting a few test pieces.

This year, I arrived in Jingdezhen, where the humidity makes it feel as if one's entire body is immersed in water. One day, my neighbor Xiao Fu said, "The damp season has started again; there are many tiny water droplets on the walls and floor," which reminded me once again of the idea of making a building "sweat."

These tiny water droplets are actually subtle and hard-to-notice elements of daily life. Usually dispersed in the air, they temporarily condense into water droplets on the floor under certain conditions and then disappear, as if they are transient entities.

I think that the essence of a "transient existence"—the substance between existence and non-existence—is actually existing but not easily noticeable. One of the values of art might be to expand the ordinary, making people aware of what they previously overlooked, transitioning from unconsciousness to consciousness, from unawareness to awareness.

Coincidentally, I received an invitation for a summer exhibition in Guangzhou this time. I think the scorching summer days are perfect for making a building sweat a little.
