PP Yiran Peng
PP Yiran Peng identified as an image-based artist. Her practice unfolds as a meditative act of construction, endless tracing an amorphous private sanctuary in her mind. Working through photography, video, and sculpture, she navigates memories processed and reassembled through images. On the ruins dismantled by alteration and disruption, she rebuilds with fascination, or lingers within the threshold space shaped by the tension between construction and destruction. Drawn to the solidity of concrete and metal, she embraces construction as a modest form of labor—an artistic method through which she intervenes in a life that risks becoming overly suspended.
PP，彭逸然的自我定位是image-based艺术家。她的艺术实践是冥想式的搭建，无休止地反复描摹那个思维场域中无定形的私人庇护所。她的摄影、影像、雕塑运行于经图像信息加工整合后的记忆片段，在以修改和破坏等手段瓦解的废墟上兴致盎然地重建，亦或沉湎于搭建和破坏的张力所形成的阈限空间。她喜爱混凝土和金属物质性的坚固，通过搭建这一朴素的劳动行为作为艺术实践方法，干预人生的悬浮感。
The Moon Eclipse is the Empty Full Moon
This project aims to build a world of my childhood memories and the urban emotions by creating a soft dialogue among architecture, the people, and the moon.
In East Asian culture, the waxing and waning of the moon holds a great meaning of completeness – incompleteness, people get together – apart. The imagery provided by the ancients has continued for thousands of years, covering the moon itself. The illuminated, longing for the lie of completeness. Is the pursuit of “completeness” a kind of kitsch? When the full moon is “full”, all other phases become “incomplete”.
If the full moon symbolizes completeness, then is a lunar eclipse an empty full moon and symbolizes the void? In my opinion, the longing for completeness is actually the reflection of our awareness of the void.
Then the moon eclipse comes. The moon was cut out. The cries and laughter disappeared. The shadow swallowed the moon, leaving a dark red circle of void.
Now, the moon finally gets a moment of breath.
