Abstract

This piece sets out an exploration of the relations between the city, the body and the face, seeking to understand in particular how the city and the face could be articulated with reference to an image of the body. It is suggested that the face and the city entertain a kind of privileged affinity. Just as the face unsettles the head and the bodily system to which it belongs, projecting the latter into an intersubjective social system of interaction and signification, so the city unsettles the land where it is located, projecting it into long-distance connections with similar entities scattered across the continent, and beyond. The piece evolves into the twin exploration of, on the one hand, ‘the city of the face’ and, on the other, ‘the face of the city’.

脸与城市

这件作品探索了城市、身体和脸部之间的关系，尤其试图理解城市和脸部如何通过身体的形象来表达。这表明脸和城市有一种特殊的亲和力。就像脸扰乱了它所属的头部和身体系统，将后者投射到一个相互作用和意义的主体间社会系统中一样，城市扰乱了它所在的土地，将它投射到与分散在大陆上的类似实体的远距离连接中，甚至更远。这件作品演变成一种双重探索，一方面是“城市的面貌”，另一方面是“城市的面貌”。
