自然是自然的吗？我注意到在长期二元对立的社会系统下，人类对自然的操控极度相似于父权社会中男性对女性的控制。在这一作品中我用女性的化妆品在英国皇家花园拍摄的植物影像上涂抹，正如人类惯常通过改造自然来满足自身的欲望与审美，我通过在黑白的植物影像上化妆来制造人类对自然的幻象。在长期人类中心主义和笛卡尔二元论的框架下，理论家们逐渐意识到女性所处的位置与自然如此相似，没有真正的环境公平便不会有真正的性别平等。人类对自然的幻想必须被打破，这一过程也势必伴随着女性从父权文化的枷锁中解放。

Is nature natural? I have noticed how we manipulate and reconstruct nature in the way we want and realized how we are controlling(manipulating) nature just like men control women under the long-term patriarchal context. In this work I adorn photography of plants with make-up, forging a symbolic connection between feminism and ecology. Just as we often embellish nature to satisfy our desires and ambitions, I use cosmetics to enhance these plant images to form rhetoric that constructs illusions within human life. Within the framework of a long-standing anthropocentric ideology and Cartesian dualism, the theorists gradually recognize that women are synonymous with nature and there can be no real gender justice without environmental justice. To achieve this, a collective awakening from the illusions we have woven around nature must be realized, and this liberation must be accompanied with the freedom of women from the shackles of masculine culture.

 

The audience is welcome to put make-up on my photographs during the exhibition.
