“““Weaving”””



“““编织””” (performance still), 2022
made in collaboration with Dong Longyue董龙跃
Power Station of Art, Shanghai, China

Through performative imagery, “““weaving”””delves into the embodiment of writing and the spatial aspects of language. Amiko Li and Dong Longyue explore the concept of writing with the body through poetry, game, sign language, and more. These attempts reimagine and engage with the possibilities and responses of writing, placing individual experiences ahead of linguistic constructs to challenge binary oppositions. Hidden stitches on the back of a knitted sweater and transitions from yarn to floral rope, are symbols reflected in their considerations on weaving immaterial objects. Additionally, the proportion of sign language gestures in the artwork mirrors the rhythmic movements of knitting needles, generating multiple interpretations that intertwine within the actions depicted.

“““编织”””(2022) 以表演式的影像探讨了书写的身体性和语言的空间性，将个体经验置于语言之前来质疑二元对立论调。艺术家李文嘉和董龙跃以身体的写作为切入点先后通过诗歌，游戏，手语等语言的诠释重新想象和实践了“书写”的可能和回应。影像中出现的隐藏针脚的毛衣背面，和由织线到花绳的跳跃是两位艺术家关于如何编织非固体的物件的思考和探索；而作品中手语动作的比量犹如正在编织的针线，若干的词义解释在动作与动作之间形成并交织。
