本期艺术家是邓泰

This installment features Deng Tai

作为一个年轻而充满活力的艺术家，邓泰一直观察周围的环境，并通过表演艺术来突破自我。他的朋友们记录了他在都市中的公共场所的一些表演。这些狂喜和忧郁共存的摄影作品传达出邓泰在瞬息万变而非传统的社会中对于边缘化的和强烈浮华的身份的挣扎。

As a young and energetic artist, Deng Tai consistently observed his surroundings and pushed limits to express himself through performance art. Some of his performances in public spaces throughout the city were documented by his friends. The ecstatic and melancholic images suggest the intensity of Deng’s struggle to negotiate a marginal and subversively exuberant identity in China’s fast-changing, yet traditional, society.
