胡介鸣的《格物》系列创作始于2020年初新冠疫情爆发期间。全球社会运转的停摆,使人们的生活回到了最为隔绝的个体处境,这也是全人类所共同经历的最为典型的一次“例外状态”。这一特殊语境给了胡介鸣回到日常的契机:居家隔离让他卸下了包袱,能够专注于身边的事物,有机会去面对一种阔别已久的纯粹日常。平静、慢速的生活节奏减轻了人的精神负荷,人对时间的感受被拉长,人与物的关系更为亲密,生活也被还原地更为轻质和简单。
缓慢而封闭的异常环境激发了胡介鸣去辨识这种新日常。随着驻足、注视,以及不同时间的光照变化,以往被忽略的空间和熟悉物品给他带来了截然不同的感受。它们仿佛产生了有别于常理的形式力度,这促使了胡介鸣开始对日常进行了一次“格物致知”的探索。《格物》反观了人与物之间稳定而脆弱、矛盾却共生的关系。而那些异常与日常,未必被生活其间的人所意识到。


尽管《格物》的母题是日常,而“形式”统领了整个“格物”的历程。在创作过程中胡介鸣尽可能地去除事物本质的认知压力和附加的社会意义,转而去强化一种更为普遍的共通感知经验。同时,他以形式化的方法和表达,再次提取事物的自身要素,进而构成新的主观认知。 他以简单的方式去呈现事物最简单的一面。
新冠疫情爆发这一特殊时期的语境是《格物》系列创作的起点,同时它已逐渐发展成为了一个持续进行的艺术项目。胡介鸣的《格物》试图重新唤醒我们对生活的真实体验和敏感,这正是我们在摆脱社会运行机制、回归日常时最为本真的收获。而这一经验也已然成为了我们共同的新常态的一部分。


Hu Jieming began work on his series The Things during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. The shutdown of global society forced people to live in an isolated state, creating one of the most typical "states of exception" for humankind to have collectively experienced. This special context gave Hu Jieming an opportunity to return to daily life: home isolation allowed him to set aside the usual concerns and to focus on the everyday things around him with a much greater degree of attention than had been possible before. A calmer and slower pace of life puts us into a lighter frame of mind; time seems to lengthen as the relationship between people and things is brought closer, and life becomes simple and serene.


The slow rhythm of his unusually closed environment inspired Hu Jieming to investigate this new everyday. Previously ignored spaces and familiar objects brought him completely different impressions as he stopped, gazed, and noted the way changes in light affect perception. These objects seemed to have a formal intensity that was different from common sense. This prompted Hu Jieming to begin his exploration of the things that make up the everyday. The Things reflects on the stable and fragile, contradictory but symbiotic relationship between people and things. It draws attention to those parts of the everyday, both common and uncommon, that may not be realized by the people living in them.

Although the theme of The Things is the everyday, "form" dominates every aspect of the series. In his creative process, Hu Jieming strives to remove the cognitive pressure of understanding the so-called "nature" of things and their attached social meanings, instead choosing to emphasize more general common perceptual experience. At the same time, the elements of things themselves are clarified through formalized methods and expression, which allows for new subjective understandings to form. Through the series the artist presents the simplest side of things in a straightforward way.
The unique context of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic formed the starting point of The Things, and it has gradually developed into an ongoing art project. Hu Jieming's series attempts to reawaken our true experience and sensitivity to life. It is this that we gain when we get rid of the social operating mechanism and return to daily life. And this experience has become part of our commonly shared new normal.
