The concept is for this pieces is about " Memory repetition". I choose cogs to express my concept, because as the power of the clock, cogs can be the carrier of the time itself. The turning cogs are just like the running time, and the running time will take people’s memory away. I find that there are some special relation between memory and time. So I think cogs can be the best thing to express my “Memory Repetition” concept.
The cogs which turn around and fit each other can be seen as the part of “repetition”. Although they have different sizes, but the same appearance and transmission mode constitute a kind of repetition.
When the top layer gears turning around, and it seems that our memory is turning around. Also they expresses different attributes of memory. I use different materials combined together to make gears. Different materials and colors represent different memories. It shows the complex of the memory. The layered gears represent the jumpy memory and the gears which is white represent the empty part of the memory, while the gears with half-baked picture represent the incomplete memory.
这系列作品的灵感被称之为‘记忆重复’。我以齿轮为主要元素来诠释我的灵感。齿轮作为时钟的动力与组成部分,本身就可以称之为时间的携带者。齿轮的传动就如同时间的流逝,而时间的流逝则会带走人们的记忆。我试图找寻记忆与时间之间存在的特殊联系。相互啮合转动的齿轮成为了‘重复’的一部分,如同我们不断被回忆起的记忆。
顶层旋转的齿轮代表了我们的记忆,层叠的齿轮采用了不同的材质,用来代表我们的一段段回忆,体现出我们记忆的复杂性。层叠遮挡的齿轮体现出记忆的跳跃,而空白的齿轮则体现了记忆的断层。
