同行/从零认识世界 | Adrián Villar Rojas

Adrián Villar Rojas, The Evolution of God, 2014. A High Line Commission. 

Adrián Villar Rojas制作了梦幻般的大型雕塑，混淆了人们对时间和空间的感觉。他对于具体地点的安排暗示了古代文明的遗迹和史前世界的文物化石，暗示了一种超越历史界限的诗意状态。Villar Rojas在现场制作这些装置，通常使用未烧制的粘土和水泥的混合物。这些都是普通的材料，但却富有启发性：从古巴比伦人的泥板到罗马帝国用作建筑材料的水泥骨料，它们的弹性为古代历史提供了物质纽带。然而，在Villar Rojas的手中，这些原本坚硬的材料却无法持久。他的雕塑从一开始就被认为是废墟，它的形成暗示了一段漫长的腐烂和崩溃的历史。碎片处于明显的缓慢分解状态，尽管它们实际上是坚固的和新的，但它们传达出的却是不稳定、侵蚀和脆弱。

这些物体，其开裂的表面和坍塌的外观，混淆了我们对历史位置的感觉。Adrián Villar Rojas经常通过融入他对科幻和技术的兴趣来加剧这种迷失：他的不合时宜的遗迹可以跨越从史前到想象的未来的距离，它们的考古范围也包括iPods和宇宙飞船。
