Saccharine Landscapes
糖衣地景
Concept / 理念
An exploration of taste through modular sugar installations that challenge permanence.
通过模数化的糖艺装置探索味觉，挑战永恒性的认知。
Exhibition / 展览
Beijing Contemporary Art Center, 2024
北京当代艺术中心，2024年
Medium / 媒介
Cast Sugar, Culinary Ink, Rice Paper
翻模糖，食用水墨，宣纸
Saccharine Landscapes invites viewers into a dialogue between the seen and the consumed. The installation features architectural forms constructed entirely from refined sugar, which gradually dissolves throughout the exhibition period, mimicking the fleeting nature of memory and taste. This process mirrors the 'ink-wash' technique where forms bleed into the void, creating a landscape that is as fragile as it is sweet.
《糖衣地景》邀请观众进入视觉与消费之间的对话。该装置由纯精制糖构建的建筑形式组成，在展览期间逐渐溶解，模仿记忆与味觉的瞬时性。这一过程呼应了水墨技法中形体消融于虚无的意象，创造出一个既脆弱又甜美的艺术景观。
Visual Documentation
视觉文献
A collection of process studies and archival imagery capturing the evolution and eventual dissolution of edible installations. These artifacts serve as the only permanent record of a medium designed to vanish.
工艺研究与档案影像合集，记录了食用装置的演变与最终溶解。这些档案是为消失而设计的介质唯一的永久记录。
Artist Commentary / 艺术家自述
The Transience of Form
形式的瞬间性
My practice is rooted in the belief that art should not only be observed but integrated into the cycle of living and dying. By using sugar and organic compounds to create intricate architectural forms, I invite the audience to witness an inevitable decay. The 'Ink-Wash' series specifically reinterprets traditional landscape painting through desaturated, edible minerals, questioning the weight of history versus the lightness of a single bite. In this space, the boundary between the creator and the consumer dissolves into a shared, temporary ritual.
我的创作根植于这样一种信念：艺术不应仅仅被观察，而应融入生与死的循环之中。通过使用糖和有机化合物创造复杂的建筑形态，我邀请观众见证一种不可避免的消亡。“水墨”系列特别通过淡雅的可食用矿物质重新诠释了传统山水画，探讨了历史的厚重感与一口之轻之间的对比。在这个空间里，创作者与消费者之间的界限溶解在一种共有的、短暂的仪式中。
