展览现场｜唐潮个展“话音未落”

唐潮

Tang Chao

唐潮1990 年生于湖南，2014 年毕业于中国美术学院实验影像工作室。现居上海。唐潮的工作本质有像在实践写作中一种深思之轻的建议，比如把剧本提炼成一句话：“身处现代岛屿的困境，一个自我放逐的乐园。” 到最近：“几种心旷神怡的点状覆盖一连串孱弱的呼声。” 你可以集中在这句话的语气、节奏，换成摄像机的话，就是聚焦在晃动、光线还有景别。话的内容不是最重要的，有时候轻声细语、结巴，或颠三倒四。当然他偶尔也用图片、行为、装置、戏剧或舞台实践来说出，甚至是键盘上敲击几个字母。唐潮擅长在特定的地方摁下空格，连续摁住几秒也可以。他总是试图在每段平铺直叙的空白处释放一些言外之意。

Tang Chao was born in Hunan, China in 1990. He graduated from the School of Inter-Media Art of China Academy of Art in 2014. He now lives and works in Shanghai. The essence of Tang Chao’s work is like ItaloCalvino’s suggestions on lightness in literature. For instance, he refines awhole script into one sentence: “The dilemma of being in a modern island, aparadise of self-exile.” And recently: “Several delightful dots covered of aseries of weak voices.”When you focus on the tone and rhythm of the sentence,  and express it though camera, you then get the shaking focus, light and the scenes. The words are not the most important content; they are sometimes softly whispered, stuttered, or eventopsy-turvy. Of course he occasionally uses pictures, performances, installationsor dramas for expression, sometimes even typing a few letters on the keyboard.Tang Chao is good at pause and press space, press and hold for a few seconds would be fine as well. Healways tries to release some illocutionary meaning in every blank space with astraightforward manner.
