TEARING 022撕裂 022

TEARING 022 began with the artist’s experience of pain while having a tattoo removed, and considers how bodily pain can be transmitted between viewers. When the sight of a wound makes someone who has not shared the experience feel an imagined tearing of the skin, the work asks how invisible psychological pain might be understood when visible bleeding is so much easier to recognise.

《TEARING 022》从艺术家清洗纹身的疼痛经验出发，观察身体疼痛如何在观看者之间传递。当伤口的视觉冲击让未曾经历同类疼痛的人产生近似撕裂皮肤的感受，作品进一步追问：可见的流血容易被感知，那么不可见的精神痛苦又如何被理解与排解？

The work was developed during a period overshadowed by world events and online news in 2022. Repeated physical pain became entangled with distant suffering encountered through screens, while other people’s questions about the wound caused numbed sensations to return. Cloth, fishhooks, pins, and ink form an image of a body pulled, suspended, and repeatedly torn.

作品形成于一个被 2022 年世界事件与网络新闻持续笼罩的时期。身体上反复发生的疼痛与远方他人的处境在观看中发生连接，而旁观者对伤口的追问又可能让已经麻木的疼痛再次出现。布、鱼钩、别针与墨水共同构成被牵拉、悬挂和反复撕扯的身体意象。
