《消 Dissolve》

吕 越

废弃口罩 abandoned masks

来自中国艺术家吕越的作品“消”用废弃的口罩作为主要材料。展示了她在疫情期间带着口罩参观博物馆，去书店等地盖章，在口罩上书写等日常行为，以及她把口罩组成的衣服剪碎的过程。散落在地上碎片预示着病毒消消失、消亡、消解、消融，人们不再需要口罩的美好祝愿。视频作品最后定格在有自己名字的印章上，与众多公共文化空间都有印章的现象进行呼应，中国人有用印章代替签名的习惯，一个私人印章代表了一个个人。意味着每一个人都躲不开疫情的影响，抗击疫情人人有责。

The work “Dissolve” by Chinese artist Lyu Yue (Aluna) adopts abandoned masks as the primary material. It shows her wearing masks to visit museums and bookstores with stamps and written words on masks as the life routine, and the process of cutting into pieces of the masks-composed clothe. The scattered pieces on the ground indicates the vanishment and dissolution of the virus, and there would be no more masks in need. The video finally framed at the stamp in her name and in correlation with the stamps at the most of public and cultural spaces. Chinese has the tradition to use stamps in replacement of signature, and a private stamp represents an individual. It means to tell that no one could get away from the pandemic and each one has the responsibility to fight against it.
