人人女也的故事

经历自己生命周期的过程中,被迫在不同的阶段应对挑战性的变化已经变得更加频繁,更加激进,后果也更加凸显。如今,对许多人来说,这些个人的、传记式的挑战已经通过近年来文化、政治和经济变化速度的戏剧性增长而成倍放大。这当然是一个世界性的现象,但中国似乎正在经历一个最具戏剧性的版本。

通过观察年龄在30岁至40岁之间的中国女性,冯昱窥见了一部分与她出生于同一代人的生活、思想和情感:家庭、金钱、年龄、健康、生育、自我、美貌、暴力、成功、竞争、亲密关系、消费主义等等。

冯昱选择不做任何分析、阐述或评判,为观众提供了一个进入被肖像化的世界和思想的途径,让观众建立自己的理解,得出自己的结论,发现自己的精神食粮。

本系列作品是在两年多的时间里,通过深度采访和同步肖像会谈的结合而创作的。每一次会面都会产生数小时的素材,现在这些内容的精华都以展品的形式呈现出来,扫描二维码在线访问完整的访谈内容。

 

From Her. Stories

Experiencing the progression through one’s own lifecycle, having to cope with challenging changes at different steps has become more frequent, more radical and greater in consequence. And nowadays for many these personal, biographical challenges have been multiplied or amplified through the dramatic increase in speed that cultural, political and economic change has seen in recent years. This of course is a phenomenon that can be witnessed all over the world, but China seems to go through one of the most dramatic versions of it.

Looking at Chinese women between the ages of 30 and 40, Feng Yu presents a glimpse into the lives, thoughts and emotions of some of her own generation: Family, Money, Age, health, fertility, Ego, Beauty, Violence, Success, Competition, Intimacy, Consumption and more.

Abstaining from delivering any kind of analysis, interpretation or judgment, Feng Yu provides the audience with access to the worlds and minds of the portrayed, enabling the viewers to build their own understanding, draw their own conclusions, discover food for own thought.

 

This series was created over more than two years, through a combination of in-depth interviews and concurrent portrait sessions. Each encounter produced an abundance of material, of which the essence is presented in the form of these exhibits, aided by QR-code access to the longer interviews online.
