Real Dreams - Zhuang Weixin's Solo Exhibition
Dreams are a wonderful world between reality and fantasy. They allow us to temporarily break free from the constraints of reality and enter a space that is not restricted by physical laws and social norms. However, dreams are not completely independent of our real experience. They are an obscure mirror that reflects our deepest desires and fears and reflects our subconscious reactions to the real world. The freedom of dreams lies in their ability to break through the framework of logic and reality, allowing us to play countless roles and experience countless possibilities. This sense of freedom often provides people with a psychological relaxation and even a kind of healing. However, the content of dreams is not completely controlled by ourselves. The emotions, memories and desires hidden in our hearts will penetrate into dreams with invisible forces and become the weaving materials of dreams. From this perspective, dreams are not completely autonomous, but a product of the interweaving of personal psychological states and real life experiences. This exhibition displays two series, namely [Night Dreams] and [Day Dreams]. In the [Night Dreams] series, the author uses the unconscious sleep talk revealed when falling asleep as the creative material to explore the possibility of dreams as a manifestation of the subconscious. As a language phenomenon between wakefulness and subconsciousness, sleep talk is fragmentary, illogical and ambiguous. The author develops a series of pictures and images by disassembling and reorganizing the words in sleep talk, trying to capture the fluidity and irrational structure in dreams, and explore the emotions, desires and memories hidden in the subconscious through the atmosphere and symbols of the pictures. This series is not only a visual experiment of personal dreams, but also a reinterpretation of the psychological messages and symbolic meanings in dreams. The [Daydream] series is derived from the state of wandering that the author experienced in the work situation. As a spontaneous psychological phenomenon, wandering often occurs in monotonous and repetitive daily life, causing attention to drift away from reality and enter into the weaving of memories, imagination or unfulfilled wishes. The author visualizes these fragments of consciousness through the overlap and interweaving of images, presenting the delicate and flowing psychological activities in daily life.
