展览前言: 

　　权力（potestas）古拉丁语意为；能够或具有做某事的能力。在古汉语中，“权”字的含义主要包括度量，权衡，权谋之意。

　　人类社会权力现象的形成与发展，走过了由自然状态向自觉状态的转变和演化的漫长过程。在当代中国，对权力的滥用没有得到有效的遏制，对权力监督的媒体手段也没有完全畅通，对权力造成的腐败现象也没有合理的制约体系。在前一轮各地政府大兴土木建造豪华办公楼的热潮还没有散去，而新一轮装修豪华办公室之风却又来势凶猛，愈演愈烈。权力空间就成为了权力的有效载体,权力空间也是聚焦的权力现场。所以，权力一定要具备在公共领域中落实到现场的地点,这就是我们今天看到普遍存在的权力现场——办公室。

　　而摄影中对权力空间的记录是真实并且客观的,这种客观性能使在画面中被裁减过的场景能够 “稳定”下来,并使“稳定”过的空间影像成为一面沉默的镜子,并在镜头里面客观的反映出现场的意义。且以暗示的方式使我们注意在其面前我们都同样地无能为力的奥秘。

　　The Latin word for Power, potestas, means the capability to do something. The same word in ancient Chinese “quan” means measuring and strategy.

　　The formulation and development of the power in society passed a long way of transformation and evolution from a natural condition to conscious state. In contemporary China , there is neither effective restraint on power abuse nor a supervisory media strategy. Furthermore, there is not any reasonal control system on corruption caused by power abuse. While the tide of building luxurious government offices is not showing signs of slowing down, a new round of decorating magnificent office spaces has already begun. Power space as an efficient power carrier is also a concentrated hot spot. Therefore, it is necessary for power to find a hot spot to realize itself in public area, in what is commonly know as offices.

　　The video recording of power space is real and objective. Such objectivity allows the scenes from the sequence to be “ stabilized” , and the “stabilized” images silent mirrors that objectively reflect meaningful reality. It also forces us to face the mystery of our helplessness.
