作品阐述
金色之名
耿雪 /泥塑电影短片，多屏影像及现场装置 /尺寸可变
影像开头呈现了一个黑白的世界，黑与白是残酷也是幽默，是真实又是幻念，是人间也是隔世。故事情节用泥土塑造了人物，象征着那些不可回避的困境和磨难，故事的脉络则暗示着人必须主动面对林林总总的问题和现实。随着时间的推移影像中逐渐出现了金色，这金色是一种象征，象征着理想、愿望、希望，它是一种强大的召唤感和诱惑力，在黑与白的现实中指引方向。然而金色同样潜藏着欲望和潜伏的危险，那么这种明亮是美好还是陷阱?影像最后是全片的升华，揭示出生命初始与轮回的关照，生老病死是人类命运无法逆转的宿命，也是人类进化与更迭的规律。与此同时，配合幕墙影像存在的装置散落在屏幕周围，屏幕嵌在雕塑里被安置在地面上，金色世界里是翻滚着的人物，仿佛被放置在金色“脐带”里，观众低头观看时如同在井又窥见生命之泉，这充满魔幻的体验感加强了命运的感知。
The Name of Gold
Geng Xue / Clay Sculpture Filmlet，multi-screen imaged，and installations / Dimension variable
The video begins with images of a black and white world. The black and white colors symbolize cruelty and humor, reality and illusion, earth and heaven. In the story, characters are made of clay, symbolizing the unavoidable difficulties and hardships in life. The story line implies that people must take the initiative to face all kinds of problems and the reality. As time goes by, the golden color appears, which symbolizes ideality, desire and hope.“The Name of Gold” is a powerful summon and temptation, pointing out the direction in the black-and-white reality. However, there is also hidden desire and lurking danger. Is the brightness a blessing or a trap? The end of the story is a sublimation of the theme, revealing the start of life and the concept of reincarnation. Life and death are the irreversible fate, and also the natural law of human evolution. In terms of installation, the projecting devices are scattered around the screen, which is embedded in the sculpture and placed on the ground. On the screen, characters are rolling in a golden world, like fetuses in a golden"umbilical cord". The viewers look down at the screen, like peering into a well to find the fountain of life. The illusory visual experience highlights the perception of fate.
