Please introduce yourself first ～ (For example, where do you live, your educational background, when did you become interested in art, or any content)
可以先简单介绍一下自己吗：）你现在居住在哪里，你的教育背景，从什么时间点开始对图像产生了兴趣，同时也可以是任何想说的。
yiwen：
I was born and lived in Hangzhou, and I seem to have liked to draw something as long as I can remember. Fortunately, from high school to now, I have successfully entered art-related schools and made many friends with the same aspirations. Since I was a child, I knew that I was not good at interacting with people. It was difficult for me to establish a close relationship with people, whether it was family or friends, so when I was alone in the work the pleasure I get can fill myself
up a bit. Although I think I have no talent in art, I have persevered until now with this little pleasure and obsession, and I have to do more to satisfy myself.
出⽣并居住在杭州，好像从有记忆以来就喜欢画点东⻄。幸运的是从高中到现在，都顺利进⼊了与艺术相关的学校也因此结识了许多志向相同的朋友。从小就知道⾃己是不善于和与⼈交往的类型，与⼈建⽴亲密的联系对我来说是困难的事情，不论是家⼈也好朋友也好，所以独⾃一人在创造中得到的快感能使自⼰充盈⼀些。虽然认为⾃己在艺术⽅面并没有天赋，但凭着这微⼩的快感和执念也是坚持到了现在，也必须做得更多才能让⾃己满意。

How would you describe your creation? (For example, commonly used media and techniques, focus on themes, visual style, etc.)
你会怎样讲述自己的创作：）
yiwen ：
In the past year, I have tried to use a variety of comprehensive materials in my pr, trying to break the shackles of a certain type of work, such as painting, photography, printmaking, and installation. I always feel that nature provides people with the most cost-free comfort. Plants and green are the most common elements and colors in my works. Plants make people happy and people don’t need to exchange emotions with it. Nature has just the righr amount of beauty and alienation. Feeling apart. The point of "artificial landscape" is also very interesting. The natural elements that appear in the city are occasionally absurd and dramatic, giving me some inspiration for dialogue with nature.
近⼀年尝试着⽤各种综合材料，想打破某一种作品类型的束缚，绘画、摄影、版画、装置，希望不再单⼀地强调这些。⼀直都觉得，⾃然给⼈提供了最不需要成本的宽慰，植物和绿色是我作品中最常出现的元素和颜色，植物使⼈愉悦⼈们也不需要和它交换情感，恰到好处的美和疏离感。“⼈造景观”这个点也很有趣，城市中出现的⾃然元素偶尔带有荒诞性和戏剧性，给我一些与⾃然对话的灵感。

What cultural/factors have influenced your creation? (e.g. literature, movies, music, games, architecture, etc.)
可以告诉大家你创作受到哪些文化和因素的影响吗？
yiwen：
It's hard to say that it was influenced by a certain factor. Recently, I am interested in architecture, appreciate the concept of brutalism, and avoid all deliberate actions for beauty. It has become another kind of beauty. And architecture and landscape design are also the work of combining nature and man-made, which may have some similarities with mine.
很难说有受到某⼀种因素的影响，最近对建筑感兴趣，欣赏粗野主义的理念，避免⼀切为了美⽽刻意的动作竟然也成为了另一种美。⽽建筑，景观设计也是将自然与⼈工的结合的工作，可能和我的思路有一些相似。

Can you introduce one or two of your own works/projects in detail?
能否详细介绍自己的 1、2 件作品/项目?
yiwen：
<Coexistence>
<共存>⾦属、荆棘、⽓球，当我捡到这些或坚硬或脆弱的物件时，希望⽤一个⼜危险⼜平衡的⽅式组合他们，找到岌岌可危的⽀点才能“共存”。

<Residual object>
<剩余物>这是⼀个长期项目暂定了这个名字，我在城乡结合处居住多年，眼看着⼀个乡镇慢建起了商区和⾼楼，想在仅剩的边缘地带探索城市化进程中的被遗忘之物。废弃的即将拆除的房屋，还未被开发的荒地，人迹罕⾄的森林，在其中寻找材料进行即兴创作，这些创作痕迹最后将在某一天和房屋⼀起倒塌，被⻛雨侵蚀，最后消失。我缅怀被人遗忘和抛弃的东西，想⽤这个⾏为作为⼀个记录。这个项目想欢迎更多的⼈参与，有兴趣的可以联系我。

Can you introduce your life and creative state? What are your special work habits? (It can include inspiration collection, daily work habits, the process from inspiration to realization, etc.)
可以讲述一下你的生活和创作状态?
yiwen：
My creative state is relatively loose. I often come up with the final plan in various aimless wanderings and attempts, and I will not formulate a complete plan. There are various daily records in the memo. Fragmented I have a small idea, recently thinking about a way to integrate them, but I hope that the final presentation of the work is still a loose and relaxed state. My favorite moment recently is to go to the suburbs or to hang out in places where no one is around, take pictures, and then "scavenge" some discarded and forgotten objects, such as dry plants, gravel, metal, and construction waste as creative materials.
我的创作状态⽐较松散，常是在各种漫⽆目的闲逛和尝试中想到最终的⽅案，也不会制定⼀个完整的计划，在备忘录⾥有各种⽇常记录下的碎片状的⼩想法，最近在思考⼀个如何把他们整合起来的⽅式，但希望作品最后呈现的还是⼀个松散和轻松的状态。最近喜欢的时刻是跑去郊外或者没有⼈的地⽅闲逛，拍照，然后“拾荒”一些被丢弃的被遗忘的物件，⽐如干枯植物，碎石，⾦属，建筑垃圾作为创作材料。

cusp. :What is the current concern and thinking?
最近每天思考和关心的问题是什么?
yiwen：
How can I keep as "alive" as possible, and the ultimate purpose of my works may be selfish, but I am only concerned about myself. In order to "live", I have no confidence in what I can bring to the world.
如何尽可能地保持“活着”的状态，另外我做作品的最终⽬的可能自私⼀些，只是在关切自身，为了“活着”，我并没有自信能带给世界什么。

cusp. : Can you talk about favorite artists and favorite books?
可以讲讲你喜欢的艺术家和喜欢的读物吗？
yiwen：
Recently I saw an artist Rafael Sommerhaider who makes a small video every year to celebrate the New Year. This year's New Year's work "Bubbles" uses everyday objects to assemble a bubble blowing installation, which is light and funny. In the past year, I have been reading Jacques Lacan off and on, and it is difficult that I have not yet entered the beginning, but I enjoy the fun of solving problems.
最近看到了⼀个艺术家Rafael Sommerhaider，每年都会做⼀个小视频庆祝新年，今年的新年作品”Bubbles”，⽤日常物件组装成⼀个吹泡泡的装置，轻松⼜风趣。近⼀年断断续续读拉康，很难⾄今还没入⻔门，但是享受解题的乐趣。

What do you think is the happiest thing you have ever encountered?
觉得遇到过最开心的事情？
yiwen：
This question is too difficult. If it is just the emotion of being happy, it may be the time to be recognized. Never deny that people need this.
这个问题太难了，如果只是开心这个情绪，可能是被认可的时候，永远不否认⼈是需要这个的。

cusp. :
Talk about future plans?
你未来的规划是什么？
yiwen：
I don't dare to have any plans and expectations. If I can, I will continue to make works. I always say that I have no future, all I can do is try my best to see tomorrow.
已经不太敢有什么规划和期望了，如果可以会一直做作品。我总说⾃己是没有未来的人，能做的只是尽力力看到明天。

Can you talk about your views on the theme of this exhibition? How to connect with your own work?
这次展览主题森林和夜晚的看法？如何和自己的作品联系？
yiwen：
In fact, I am very afraid of nights, especially winter nights. I once took some photos and attached a paragraph, "If you enter the woods in the evening, you don't want to come out, but you must leave before the dark. The night is very dangerous. I hope everyone will not go into the night."
其实很害怕夜晚，特别是冬天的夜晚。曾经拍过⼀些照⽚，附了一段话，“傍晚进入树林就不想出来，但在天⿊之前必须离开，夜晚很危险，希望所有人都不要走进夜晚。”
