Curatorial Statement

The sign reads "wet paint," cautioning us not to touch, while simultaneously tempting us to reach out and confirm its state.
Is it truly "not dry," or has it already dried?
After the photo paper has been developed, fixed and dried in the darkroom — does it signify the completion of the image?

We challenge the concept of "completion".
As the images unfold before the viewers’ gaze, the artwork exists in a state of dampness again, yet to dry.

The artworks lie in an ambiguous state between "wet" and "dry," blurring the line between creation and completion, drifting, floating, lingering in the realm of consciousness.

引言

「油漆未乾」的標誌警告我們切勿觸摸,同時引誘我們觸摸以確認狀態。
「未乾」到底未乾,還是已乾?
當相紙從黑房中成像,定影,乾透後,是否代表相片之完成?

我們的攝影作品挑戰對「完成」的認知。
當影像映入觀者的眼簾時,藝術作品再度處於一種濕潤的狀態,又或處於「未乾」與「乾」之間的曖昧中,模糊了創作和完成之間的界線。

靜止於白牆上,漂流浪浮游離於意識之間。
