丹羽陽太郎 (日本Japan/德國Germany)

–均衡並非不變的狀態,而是對毀滅狀態的堅定信仰。
–找到正確的平衡是我們與生俱來的最終本能。
–因此,破壞正確的平衡便是我們發現重大意義事物之關鍵。

丹羽採用的媒介包括雕塑、繪畫、裝置、攝影與錄像,並以臨時裝置的形式來呈現它們。藝術家主要依據素材與環境,以及個人隨想之間的關係來選擇合適的創作素材。他透過作品所欲處理的議題包括人類認知範圍的變化,以及社會與環境的變遷。丹羽創造出的雕塑環境嘗試提供觀者各種不同的體驗。重新配置且變化多端的物件,以及出乎意料的事件,其不穩定性創造出某種模糊狀態,形成某種關係網絡,試圖混淆觀者對秩序與和諧的期待。

-Equilibrium is not a stationary state.
-Equilibrium is the conviction of the state of destruction.
-Finding the right balance is a latest and innate instinct within us.
-Breaking that balance, therefore, is key in discovering something significant within us.

Niwa works with a variety of media including sculpture, drawing, installation, photography and video, and presents them as temporary installation. The choice of materials are closely linked to its relationship between the environment and his random thoughts. Dealing with issues concerning change of the range of human perception as well as social and environmental change, his sculptural environments also explore different possibilities of experience. Variable reconfigurations of objects and unexpected occurrences, of which instability left ambiguous, form a network of relationships which attempt to confound the viewer’s expectations of order and harmony.
