作品介绍

《亲密之距》由六幅从同一张悬置刀具影像中逐步裁切而成的照片组成。最初的画面仅呈现浅蓝与红色的色域；随后阴影进入，刀刃逐渐显现，直至刀具及其周围空间被完整揭示。场景本身没有发生变化，改变的只是观看距离，以及观众能够获得的信息。

刀从一开始便存在于画面之中，但它所包含的危险并未立刻变得清晰。随着视野逐渐扩大，模糊转化为辨认，先前的每一幅图像也因此被重新理解。蓝色平面、红色边界，以及刀与阴影形成的双重形态，使吸引与威胁被同时控制在同一个构图之内。

作品将亲密理解为一个关于认知与暴露的问题。靠近可以带来理解，也可能加深脆弱；距离可以提供保护，也可能造成隐藏和误判。暴力并不总是以明确的行动出现，它也可能停留在沉默、氛围和被保留的信息之中，直到零散的片段被重新组合，才逐渐显露。

Statement

Distance of Intimacy comprises six successive crops derived from a single staged photograph of a suspended knife. The opening image contains only pale blue and red fields. A shadow then enters, followed by part of the blade, until the knife and its surrounding space are fully disclosed. Nothing within the scene changes; only the viewing distance and the amount of available information are altered.

The knife is present from the beginning, although its potential danger is not immediately legible. As the frame expands, ambiguity becomes recognition and each earlier image is retrospectively transformed. The blue surface, red boundary and doubled forms of knife and shadow hold attraction and threat within the same controlled composition.

The work treats intimacy as a question of knowledge and exposure. Proximity can produce understanding, but it can also intensify vulnerability; distance may protect, conceal or distort. Violence does not always announce itself through visible action. It can persist in silence, atmosphere and withheld information, becoming recognisable only when separate fragments are brought together.
