为沙特阿拉伯的Desert X AlUla 2022创作的《同一个太阳下》审视了太阳、其物质现实和它所产生的能量、图像和形式之间的纠结网络。这个多媒体装置是由加拿大艺术家Stephanie Deumer开发的,它的特点是将本地植物的温室淹没在一个地下的洞穴空间中。

Created for Desert X AlUla 2022 in Saudi Arabia, Under the Same Sun examines the tangled web between the sun, its material reality, and the energy, images, and forms that it produces. This multimedia installation developed by Canadian artist Stephanie Deumer features a greenhouse of native plants submerged in an underground cavernous space.

作为艺术家对模拟和沉浸式环境持续探索的一部分,这件作品通过技术和视觉手段将生物繁殖的景象带到了生活中。地面景观的实时投影画面使温室沐浴在光线中,使植物能够进行光合作用和生长。
As part of the artist’s continued exploration of simulacra and immersive environments, this work brings to life the spectacle of biological reproduction through technological and visual means. Projected live-feed footage of the aboveground landscape bathes the greenhouse with light, allowing the plants to photosynthesize and grow.

视频投影和装置作为一个整体由太阳能电池板供电,它也作为下沉式房间的屋顶。太阳能电池采用大水坑的形状,与沙漠地面平齐,外观像海市蜃楼,暗示着下面的圣地。

The video projection and installation as a whole is powered by solar panels, which also serve as the roof to the sunken room. Taking the shape of a large puddle of water, the solar cells sit flush with the desert ground, mirage-like in appearance, and hinting at the sanctuary below.

裸露的石笼网墙用当地的石头填充,加上土坯长凳和钢梁,整体设计保留了忠实于其结构和功能的裸露品质。电源装置在空间中也是可见的,预示着太阳能系统的跳动的心脏。

The exposed gabion walls are filled with local stone, and together with the adobe bench and steel beams, the overall design retains a barebones quality that is faithful to its construction and function. The power unit is also visible in the space, foregrounding the beating heart of the solar energy system.

在为脆弱的植物生命提供庇护的同时,该结构也为穿过沙漠景观观看展览的游客提供了凉爽的休息场所。

While existing as a refuge for fragile plant life, the structure also provides a cool respite for visitors walking through the desert landscape to view the exhibition.
