我們處于變化的世界中，存在于兩個(gè)世界之間，兩臺(tái)機(jī)器之間，一臺(tái)被稱為自然，另一臺(tái)被稱為技術(shù)，而后者則向前沖刺，磨碎，使我們重返世界，這為我們提供了極大的舒適感， 進(jìn)入未知。

Embrace, reaching to the core
We exist in the flux of change, between the two worlds, two machines, one is called nature, another is called technology, and the latter hurls forward, grinding, bringing us on it’s back, that offers so much comfort, as we go oblivious into the unknown.
This collection of artworks is about this very topic, reflecting upon the experience of nature, sometimes leading us towards the inability to feel nature because there are too many shields, too many screens, too much history between the outer identity and the inner core. As the technology, originally learning from nature, gradually became an alien on this planet, a visitor that conquers, constructs, deconstructs and finally wonders what is next, humanity also absorbed this sense of alienation, not only between technology and nature but also between each other. The invisible lines deeply seated in every branch of tree are slowly observing but also teaching us while brimming with life, and it seems that now that we are completing the construction and deconstruction circle with technology, this might be a hint to a cure, to go back to the core despite all the distractions of the outer world. Each side of this gateway contains a guardian lion, an archetype from the past, deeply rooted in Chinese mythology, guarding not only against outside but also against self, because it is in the deepest layers of our beings that a truth resides backoning into a harmonious existence inspired by the ecosystem that gave birth to life.
To aim at the center, igniting something that can only burn if space and time are aligned in the celestial machine. Upon observing this collection of Qingzou Wei one immediately gets association to a Flammarion engraving. A piece historically very important because it represents an awakening, reaching towards the invisible gears, an inquiry of the mind, a triumph of the power of observation. A turning point towards reason over dogma, likewise in this body of work, while technology is raging with it’s coldness, freezing everything around us, surrounding us with metal, we need to find the humanity within to connect back to what we are.
Symbolically we travel through past, starting with the fire that leads us to the wood, which feeds the fire, juxtaposing the symmetrical objects, perfectly representing circle within a circle within a circle with the irregular, more human shapes. How contrasting is the human nature, from building the original gravity center towards the symmetry, in the age of industrial, manipulating the environment to the absolute shift towards the irregular shapes, now we find ourselves as we mastered those regular shapes, the patterns found in trees brings us close to our humanness,
The choice of material is also highly communicative and alluding to the original essence of the experience of being human. The installation piece floats, tells us to listen, hear the inside and outside, breath together with nature, while the past represented in the glass and wooden pieces talks to us about the construct that built the pillars of the civilization. Frozen in the dimmed glass, yellowed by time, how everything has it’s expiry and yet we preserve it through the yellow gaze.
The glass as an element has a significant position in Qingzou Wei’s art because there are three pieces that capture the light, the illusion of our eyes, the only work that focuses onto the color and is still consistent with the theme of nature, the wooden elements. The veins of this planet, the lungs of our experience on Earth, we shape and reshape the trees only to find them persist in existing.
Finally we reach the gateway of this collection in the different looks and positions of the guardian lions, embedded in forms as opposed to colour, as they observe the observer, motionless and frozen, but yet effective because it is the time spent in dedication that makes something has significance and they played a significant part in the self preservation, shielding against evils and today it seems that the shielding may be directed at the coldness of technology that we all feel.
The most metaphysical aspect of this exhibition is in finding the vein that nourishes the core, the original idea of a human experience, the observation towards the nature. Just like a tree that leaves the footprint behind, through the tree lines it makes, so does humanity leaves the trace, built through years of trials and errors, traveling from one end of the spectrum to another, counting the extremes, building upon itself, reinventing and now that we have let the arrow of technology fly, we must guide it to the center, a noble and human future we all want to be a part of.
