Exhibition Preface
The exhibition theme "Thresholds" symbolizes the transitions and transformations in life, reflecting the fleeting moments of rupture in the subtle relationship between humans and their environment. Haishi Jie's visual works will showcase two distinct yet interconnected series: "Territory" and "Fortikaĵo".
The "Territory" series originates from a graphic novel titled "Territory," set against the backdrop of London, exploring individuals' sense of belonging to their surroundings and interpersonal relationships. These works delve deep into the correlations between individuals and the urban landscape, intimate relationships, and how these connections undergo fissures over time and in different environments, revealing the potential disintegration of seemingly stable relationships in daily life. Haishi Jie, through nuanced emotional expression in visual art, presents the complexity and vulnerability of human emotions, prompting viewers to contemplate their own relationship with the surrounding environment.
The other portion of works stems from the "Fortikaĵo" series, which innovatively builds upon the foundation of "Territory" by employing CGI technology to construct a world imbued with primitive aesthetics. In this virtual realm, Shijie Hai explores the relationship between humanity, technology, and nature, triggering profound reflections on the interaction between human civilization and the natural world. These works possess both surrealistic imagination and a vision of exploring and envisioning the future world, leading viewers into a realm filled with unknowns and possibilities.
Shijie Hai's artistic creation is not merely an exploration of visual forms but also a profound reflection on contemporary society, culture, and human existence. He, with his unique perspective, examines the connections and separations between humans and the environment, provoking viewers to ponder identity, emotional resonance, and future development. This exhibition aims to stimulate deep reflections on contemporary society and the human condition through Shijie Hai's visual works, exploring the subtle relationship between individuals and their environment, as well as the challenges and opportunities humanity faces in a constantly changing world.
