中国艺术家徐震在表演作品“ 眨眼之间 ”质疑现实。
这位上海概念画家经常通过装置，雕塑和混合媒体来考虑社会政治主题。在他最近被洛杉矶当代艺术博物馆收购的表演作品中，考虑了脆弱性，平衡性和可能性的局限性。在这件作品中，一群表演者神秘地悬浮在空中，似乎在漂浮的过程中克服了重力，明显消失在中间。尽管它们看上去似乎不可能保持平衡，但它既具有镇定性又具有戏剧性。在这里，观众作为参与者的角色具有同等重要的意义。在这种象征性的时间冻结中，如何以及为什么使表演者固化的不可避免的问题对作品的影响同样重要。尽管观众可以在他们永久的停滞状态下自由地在表演者周围走动，但并没有发现任何欺骗的迹象，从而增加了其神秘的品质。这是一个神秘的展览，它质疑时间，空间和人体的局限性。
Chinese artist Xu Zhen questions reality in the performance piece ‘In Just a Blink of an Eye’.
The Shanghai-based conceptual artist frequently considers socio-political themes through installation, sculpture, and mixed media. In his recent performance piece, acquired by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Zhen considers notions of fragility, balance, and the perceived limits of possibility. In the piece, a group of performers are mysteriously suspended in air, appearing to defy gravity as they float, mid-way through an apparent collapse. Whilst they remain poised at seemingly impossible angles, the piece has both a calming and dramatic edge. The role of the audience as participants is of parallel importance here; the inevitable questions of how, and why, the performers are solidified in this symbolic freezing of time is equally significant to the impact of the piece. While audience members are free to move around the performers in their permanent state of stasis, no signs of trickery are revealed, adding to its mysterious quality. It is an enigmatic display that questions the limitations of time, space, and the materiality of the human body.
