龙盼 | 浮游肖像
Long Pan | Floating Portrait
中国 China

当我们的视野被大型植物填满,是否留意到了水中的浮游世界? 在微观世界中的浮游植物不仅是水域生态系统中最重要的初级生产者,更是水中溶解氧的主要供应者,它启动了水域生态系统中的食物网。有的甚至是比植物更早出现的古老物种。在这种极微小和极古老的矛盾中,艺术家通过将藻细胞放大的方式,期待让观众感受到日常之下另一维度的存在。


When our lines of sight are filled with large plants, do we stop to notice the world floating in the water? The floating aquatic plants in the microscopic world are not only the most important elemental producers in the aquatic ecosystem, they are also the main providers of dissolved oxygen in the water. They catalyze the food chain in aquatic ecosystems. Some of them are ancient species that predate even plants. In this contradiction between extreme smallness and extreme ancientness, the artist employs a method of magnifying algae cells to alert the viewer to the existence of another dimension beyond the everyday.


龙盼 1991 年出生,2019 年毕业于中国美术学院跨媒体系(硕士),工作生活于宜春。龙盼对生命体里的人类行为痕迹很感兴趣,试图从微观的实存中搜寻线索,以找到事物间更广范的联系。她常以植物、 真菌等生物体作为创作材料,在近期创作中,她通过“植物炼金术”、“真菌降解”等生物技术作为创作的方法。这些非人生命与跨学科的技术成为她创作的基石。


Long Pan was born in 1991. She received an MFA from the China Academy of Art Department of Intermedia Art in 1991, and currently lives and works in Yichun. Long Pan is fascinated by the traces of human activity in organisms, and seeks out threads of greater connections between things on the microscopic level. She often uses plants, fungi and other organisms as creative material. In her recent creations, she has employed “plant alchemy”, “fungal biodegradation” and other biological technologies as creative methods. These non-human life forms and interdisciplinary technologies have come to form the cornerstone of her artistic creations.
