展览前言:
“一个反自恋的自我映射”
Sandra Kunz的作品揭露了两个中心主题:自恋的教训和认识,以及个体化和“自我”的脆弱性。Sandra Kunz选择的22幅肖像反映了一种自我、自我亲密的个体询问,以及揭露一种企图阐明自我身份的荒谬性。
这个问题引导艺术家思考更多关于身份鉴定进程的复查,不仅仅是自我展示,而是“另一个”的划分(Antonin Artaud的同族)以及一个叙述系列展示中印刷方法的不规则性。艺术家揭示了怀疑性和亲密性,折射了她的自我弹道、生活经验。其次,过程中假定的或“预定的”自我信仰的投影,所有照片整体最终给人一种看得轻微的或者说是孤芳自赏的魅力。
问题仍然存在于身份等同性上,艺术家提到了该作品不仅仅让她在身份鉴定进程的实践中获得更好的校验,还有非神话概念性的想法以及“自我”的感知认识。为了创作该系列,她经历了错误和真实的挑战,她,“Sandra Kunz”和无数重复的自己,巨大的不同反映了作品审核以及女性随机选择中体现出女性特征中固有的幽默感和女性富有洞察力的肖像。
为了保持前期制作系列的平衡,像一只梦中的蝴蝶,艺术家在厦门街头徘徊中获得灵感,创造了一种特殊的环境,在不经意间的窗帘毯子和亚麻制品的视觉容貌中设计了现有的版式。作品自然随机重复着中国的街道和普通人的日常生活,无意识最终回归到概念。
“An Anti-Narcissistic Auto- Reflex”
The Art of Sandra Kunz
The work of Sandra Kunz divulges two central themes: one of didactic narcissism and identification, another, individuation and the fragility of the “self”. The portraiture of 22 selected Sandra Kunz reflects an individual quest for self, self-intimacy and revelations of the absurdity of attempts to elucidate upon identity.
The artist addresses more the question of self-representation, rather, the re-examine the process of identification, the demarcation of the “The Other” and the anomaly of typological approaches in the presentation of a narrative series. The artist reveals the incredulous and the intimate, refracting her own trajectory, life experience and subsequent, projection of assumed or “predetermined” beliefs of the self in the process, the final ensemble of images serving as an extenuation of an otherwise narcissistic fascination.
Questions remain on identity, the artists mentions that the work not only allowed her to better examine the process of identification while in practice, demystifying conceptual ideas and what is perceived as the “self”. In the creation of the series, she experienced the challenge of fallacy vs. truth, of herself and the myriad selves dubbed “Sandra Kunz”, the drastic differences revealed in the surface appearance of women offers an at once humorous and insightful modern portrait.
In balance to the pre-fabricated series, In Dreaming of the Butterfly, the artists has created an in-situ environment inspired from her wandering the streets of Xiamen, where the accidental visual landmarks of draped blankets and linen inspired her current installation. The random nature of the work echoes the daily life of the common people & the streets of China, and the unintentional is rendered conceptual.
