展览预告｜故乡系列1：海波和他的北方
“为了不让故乡成为必需，人们必须有一个故乡，就像人们在思考时必须具备形式逻辑的基础，才能超出它，在更富成果的精神领域游弋。”
——让·埃默里
人类的历史是一个迁徙的历史，每一次个体的迁徙都会产生故乡的概念。故乡既是个体意识中与童年记忆和安全感有关的所在，也是在集体意识中对认同感的需求。深圳这样巨大的经过两代人就形成的移民城市，人们从不同的故乡迁移、聚居于此并共同创造着城市记忆和城市认同，在他乡造就了一个城市的奇迹，见证并演绎着关于故乡意识的坚韧与流变。故乡对每一个深圳人都很重要，因为＂如果人们只了解自己的家乡，那就会在地方的闭塞中走向精神的荒芜和凋谢。可如果没有故乡，人就会陷入无序、错乱和涣散。”（让·埃默里）
坪山美术馆推出“故乡系列”展览，旨在从艺术的视角去讨论深圳背景下故乡和他乡的意义与价值。通过艺术家的创作，呈现他们对于个体生成和故乡之间，基于家庭情感、地缘文化、社会与时代印记等维度的省思、重返和表达。在当下对于“故乡”命题的探讨，将有助于我们对流动的现代性和传统地方性问题的反思，为新的知识与价值共同体提供艺术的观照和思想的资源。
《海波和他的北方》是“故乡系列”的首展，艺术家海波用镜头记录了他的东北家乡——“没有什么风景，没有山，没有水，只有一望无际的平原，还有地平线，辽阔，苍茫，人在里面微不足道”。我们在躁动的城市背景下看海波的作品一定会有特别不同的感受。
——坪山美术馆
吉林长岭县太平山镇的这个村庄，是海波度过少年时代的地方。从1987年开始，它成为海波相机镜头中的地平线，他一次次返回这里，拍摄这些无尽的、沉默的、被遗忘却也是他最熟悉的风物。
在海波的故乡系列中，“过去”与“真实”共存。艺术家以不着技巧的，最朴素的方式，唤起每个人深藏心底的乡愁：离乡之路即还乡之路。这个看似矛盾的说法携带着所有离乡者的初衷、热望与却步，像这条路上的一座界碑，每个人的名字都在上面，朝着不同的方向，消失在地平线上。照片中的故乡既平常又陌生，既切近又遥远，通过摄影所特有的存在于瞬间与永恒之间的张力，我们得以从中瞥见一个时代，一段历史隐退之前的踪迹。
还乡是一个持续延长的过程。当熟悉的事物变得越来越陌生，人会在接近的途中感知到更切近故乡本质的东西：你的返回可能是另一次离开。何为真实？观看多于经验，倾听先于诉说。海波的摄影在最终消失和曾经有过之间，在不放弃界限、安宁、纽带和尺度的追忆中，带我们在过去和未来之间的旷野上，一次次出发，一次次重返。

HOMETOWN SERIES NO.1：
HAI BO'S NORTHLAND
Tai Ping Shan Village in Changling is a rural township in Jilin Province where Hai Bo spent most of his early years. Hai’s deep attachment to his family and hometown deeply influenced his aesthetic since 1987. The vast, silent and forgotten landscapes and the life of its people in this rural part of China are strikingly portrayed through Hai’s camera. By returning to his homeland time after time, Hai found the greatest comfort and familiarity in this banal yet beautiful land with his lens.
Hometown Series speak of the coexistence of the past and the reality through the lens of simplicity and honesty. In this series, Hai’s photographic works exude the deep nostalgic feelings shared by everyone that is away from their root. His artistic ideal is to express that the journey of drifting away from the hometown is also a journey of homecoming. This seemingly contradictory philosophy monuments those who leave their families, friends and surroundings to pursue their passions and ideals with mixed sentiments of sadness and hope. The roads each one embarks on beyond this monument may full of uncertainties; yet in the scope of grand eternity, they all seem so familiar. Just as the works figured in this series, the hometown is ordinary yet elusive; close to us yet also far away. The tensions gathered between the instant and eternity are the passing good old days and history of a generation.
Homecoming is an everlasting and expansive journey between the known and unknown. While the most comfort getting more distant, the journey back brings more realization of its true nature. So, the returning is also the beginning of a new journey. What is reality? Observe, not just react; listen, not just speak. Reminiscing in the photographs of sweeping landscapes, serene and rural villages and its people, Hai Bo reminds his audience to cherish the gradually fading and simple way of living while setting off for new journeys towards modernity.
