The Absent Center
The Absent Center is an immersive three-channel video installation that guides the audience into a labyrinth constructed from memory fragments, symbolic imagery, and multi-layered narratives. Centered on the artist's proposed theory of the 'absent center,' the work expresses the rupture and unease experienced by individuals in their perception of time, spatial memory, and linguistic expression under traumatic experiences.
Through juxtaposed images from everyday details and mnemonic objects to metaphorical symbols—the video continuously oscillates, leaps, and associates across the three screens. The audience is invited to traverse between a blurred past and a disordered present, experiencing the collapse of linear time and the untraceability of memory anchors. Ultimately, the work questions the blurred boundaries between memory, illusion, and the impossibility of representation.
《缺位的中心》是一件沉浸式的三屏影像装置作品。它引领观众进入一个由记忆碎片、象征意象与多层叙事交织构建的迷宫。作品以艺术家提出的“缺位的中心”理论核心，表达创伤经验下个体在时间感知、空间记忆及语言表达上所经历的断裂与不安。
影像通过并置的画面——从失焦的日常细节、承载记忆的旧物，到充满隐喻的象征符号——在三个屏幕间不断回溯、跳跃与关联。观众受邀在模糊的过去与失序的现在之间穿梭，感受线性时间的瓦解和记忆锚点的不可循证。最终，这件作品追问记忆与虚幻之模糊边界，以及表征的不可能性。
