你拥有的东西最终拥有你
The Things You Own End Up Owning You
for Sining Zhu 朱思凝
[2025][Exhibition Visuals][展览视觉设计]
Designed the exhibition visuals for Sining Zhu’s 2025 solo exhibition The Things You Own End Up Owning You at Three Shadows Photography Art Centre. The artist collected everyday furniture and objects that carry a sense of belonging or restriction, transforming them into soft sculptures that reconstruct a “rented apartment” space—at once familiar and strange. She invited visitors to move and rearrange the installations, exploring the shifting relationship between people and objects, between presence and possession.
In response to this daily yet intricate state, I experimented with stacking and recombining typography, allowing fragmented elements to form both a statement and a question: “The things you own end up owning you.” During our discussions, the artist mentioned the idea of “negative space,” which further inspired my approach—suggesting that the dynamics of owning and being owned can manifest not only in space and psychology, but also through language and graphic expression.
为朱思凝2025年在三影堂的展览《你拥有的东西最终拥有你》(The Things You Own End Up Owning You)设计的展览视觉。
艺术家搜集来各种承载着归属感或限制感的物品和家具,转化成软雕塑,营造出既熟悉又陌生的“出租屋”空间。她邀请观众移动和重组房间内的装置,以此探索人与物、与空间之间“拥有与被拥有”的关系。
我试图用字体的堆叠、重组来回应这种状态,用琐碎日常的元素拼凑成一个陈述,也是一个疑问:“The things you own end up owning you.” 在讨论过程中,艺术家提到的“负空间”概念也启发了我:这种互相拥有的关系不仅体现在空间和心理层面,也可以通过文字与图形被呈现。
