Thank fish
︎︎︎2024 Thank fish
Single-channel video
Thank Fish is a single-channel video piece formed with visual layerings. It is not just stacking; it is emergence, gathering around the artist's gratitude towards fish, golden, the gold body of fish. In Lenormand, fish symbolizes money; in Chinese culture, the flow of water is a metaphor for money. It comes and goes, flowing in and out, not something held tightly in hand. Fish symbolizes luck. As children, many have kept goldfish and ended up with dead fish, perhaps a first lesson in death. One would return to that moment of shattered understanding, those inexplicable things that, because they are unspoken, become deeply significant, unforgettable, and special—a moment of change.
Thanking Fish, swimming back and forth, traces of life. The flowing water of summer.
《Thank Fish》是一件通过视觉层层叠加形成的单频视频作品。这不仅仅是堆叠，而是某种涌现，围绕着艺术家对鱼的感激之情——金色的鱼身，黄金般的鱼。
在Lenormand卡片中，鱼象征着财富；在中国文化中，流水是财富的隐喻。水流进流出，来来去去，无法紧握于手中。鱼象征着运气。
很多人在童年时养过金鱼，最终面对死亡的现实，可能这也是他们关于死亡的第一课。人们会回到那个理解破碎的瞬间，那些无法言说的事情，因为它们未被说出口，变得深刻、难忘且特殊——一个改变的时刻。
感谢鱼，来回游动，生命的痕迹。夏天流动的水。
