回。首

2014 香港。奧畫廊

回首》,以圓明園海晏堂十二生肖獸首銅像為引旨,顚沛流離的驀然《回首》,是對文化藝術侵略的一種默言控訴。以不同授受演繹人類忐忑不安的好勝心態。誰是最終勝利者,有侍定奪。

“回首 (Hui Shou)”, which has dual meanings – looking back or return. Looking back into the history, the twelve zodiacs bronze heads were looted from Yuan Ming Yuan by the British and French troops. It was a notorious event in Chinese history that remains a signal symbol of national humiliation. Derek superimposed zodiacs heads onto nude bodies; revealing human’s aggressions are no different than animals. Morality and ethic are the principles of human nature, but human beings could no longer distinct themselves when the boundaries are crossed. Nevertheless, Animals do not have the desire for possession like human beings.
