《Tier 10》探讨中国意象在英国的误译与东方化。名称源自威廉·钱伯斯在邱园大宝塔上增建的“第十层”,象征中西文化的错位与混杂。项目通过三部分展开:一部影像,将维多利亚公园的宝塔与“青花瓷盘纹样”联系起来;一场介入表演 Performing the Blue Pagoda;以及一本收录虚构图像的出版物,揭示东方叙事如何被重构于西方文化之中。
Tier 10 examines the mistranslation and orientalisation of Chinese imagery in Britain. Named after the extra tier William Chambers added to Kew’s Great Pagoda, the project explores how Eastern narratives are recast in Western culture through three works: a film linking Victoria Park’s pagoda to the Willow Pattern Plate, the intervention Performing the Blue Pagoda, and a publication of inauthentic images.
