The Blind Man’s Compass: Crafted Within Highly Regulated Commercial Landscapes and Mass-Produced Industrial Commodities盲人罗盘:高度规制的商业景观与大规模工业标品中的产物

The false certainty of human-contrived contours: within a bookstore where one seemingly selects books freely, the individual—disciplined into an “absent observer” by a pre-engineered spatial order—is forced into a state of landlessness. After all, the true commodities are pre-packaged “orders” awaiting mass consumption. … Read More >The Blind Man’s Compass: Crafted Within Highly Regulated Commercial Landscapes and Mass-Produced Industrial Commodities盲人罗盘:高度规制的商业景观与大规模工业标品中的产物

Industrial standard products: fractals have folded the horizon of the spiritual habitat工业标品:分形折叠了精神栖息地的地平线

Rockeries (Artificial Rockery / künstlicher Felsengarten) are a perfect metaphor for ‘mimicking nature / artificially constructed order’ in an artistic context. Juxtaposing them with ‘industrial standard products (stainless steel bowls)’ creates a sharp contemporary critique—industrial products have become the ‘man-made rockeries’ in the spiritual habitat of modern people. … Read More >Industrial standard products: fractals have folded the horizon of the spiritual habitat工业标品:分形折叠了精神栖息地的地平线

Industrial Standard Products: The “Man-Made Rocks” in Mental Sanctuaries工业标品:精神栖息地中的“人造岩石”

Four stainless steel salad bowls of fractal-scaling sizes originate from an international supermarket chain—mass-produced industrial commodities shaped by standardized molds. Within today’s highly regulated commercial landscapes, they are purchased en masse, populating thousands of domestic kitchens.
Rejecting a rigid, size-based sequence, the artist reconfigures them with dynamic lightness according to fractal logic—symbolizing the modern individual embedded within the contours of public order. … Read More >Industrial Standard Products: The “Man-Made Rocks” in Mental Sanctuaries工业标品:精神栖息地中的“人造岩石”

The Alienated Gaze: Folded Existence Within a Folded Field疏离的凝视:在折叠的场域中折叠的生存

Spanning a decade (2012–2021), this body of work condenses Damao’s profound insight into the human condition. Interweaving performance, installation, and painting, the artist constructs a spatial topology of “Landlessness,” investigating how modern individuals confront abandonment, alienation, and the fixity of the gaze within the folding and interaction of space. … Read More >The Alienated Gaze: Folded Existence Within a Folded Field疏离的凝视:在折叠的场域中折叠的生存

【1/2】The Yearning for Individuality in the Era of Standardized Products:An Irreplaceable Sense of Proximity标品时代的肖像渴望:一种不可替代的亲近感

Every morning,
our razors and lipsticks never reach the self inside the mirror.
Thus in the future,
our ability to discern will become entirely second nature. … Read More >【1/2】The Yearning for Individuality in the Era of Standardized Products:An Irreplaceable Sense of Proximity标品时代的肖像渴望:一种不可替代的亲近感

Living in downtown , it is already difficult to feel the breeze, and of course you can hardly hear the sound of water, except that you can see the water beating up and down from the fountain in the central square. It’s just that when you want to leave, your eyes are tired, but you don’t dare to close your eyes and rest, so you can only hold on until midnight, close your eyes and ride the wind home.
