墨冰 Ink Ice

作品说明

墨冰 Ink Ice  

9x9x9 feet

On the morning of the opening ceremony, we placed a 9x9x9 feet ink ice on the China Millennium Monument and allowed it to melt with sunshine and wind for three consecutive days. The ice which is made from smoke ink of varied density weighs 27 tons. The shape of the ink ice kept changing as it melted away and flowed in all direction on the square. The passers-by were drawn to the site and they talked with each other about the scene with interest. In three days the ice ink as a solid entity disappeared, only leaving a black mark on the ground. The abstract symbols vanished as well, and a space for imagination in the time and the ink mark are all that is left behind.

墨冰(装置)

一块9尺X9尺X9尺,重27吨的黑色冰块，其内部是浓度不同的松烟墨。作品在开幕式的凌晨被放置在北京中华世纪坛的广场中，连续三天冰块在阳光和风的作用下，不断融化，融化的墨水随着地形向广场各个方向扩散。在融化过程中，冰块不断变化呈现着不同的形态，引起很多行人的驻足观看和议论。在三天中，地面上留下自然流动的黑色印记，物质消失了，连抽象的符号形式也消失了，只有时间的痕迹和在墨迹中无限的想象的空间。
