Christian Lemmerz @ Faurschou Beijing, 798 Art Zone
In a grid from the ceiling hang hundreds of skulls in front of which the viewer can stand – one viewer to each skull. The skulls revolve and function as a fixation for the eye, while a hypnosis-inducing voice speaks slowly and penetratingly into the space and urges us to think about our lives – and about the inevitability of death, about death as a release. The question is of course whether the viewer dares to remain standing throughout the countdown from ten to zero.
Conceptually Christian Lemmerz takes his point of departure in the schism between mass and individual, between free will and oppression – whether one stands by one's own modes of thinking and moral concepts or subjects oneself to those of others. And indeed the whole installation evokes associations with a military camp and mass hypnosis. Another underlying theme is the religious/philosophical schism between the physical body and the emancipated spirit, between the grounding of life in the physical world and the spiritual release in Nirvana that is known from Buddhism and Taoism, but which can also be found in western thinking and in the Christian idea of Paradise.
I want to change the photo from spatial into planar, I’d like to switch all skulls’ direction from my spontaneity , maybe it is human nature, cause I focus the point of his design which is hang upside down all skulls. I hope I can keep his main of point, just want to use another way to present. Intuitively show viewers like enter a military camp, try to realize dead bodies combine with emancipated spirit render on one plane.
