BRUISE  「淤青」


Exhibition Design & Experiment Design

Ink, Blank Paper, Cassette, Player,

The "Bruise" exhibit is a blend of experimental and exhibition design, delving deeply into the emotional landscape of neglected children in dysfunctional families. At its core, the exhibit features an interactive sound system that plays tapes containing real arguments and insults from various dysfunctional family scenarios. These recordings are not just auditory elements but also catalysts, causing the sound system to vibrate intensely.

In a poignant display of symbolism, children in this context are represented as blank sheets of paper, signifying their innocence and untouched nature. As the sound system vibrates, it causes ink placed near or on these sheets to move and scatter. This ink movement is influenced by the intensity and frequency of the family arguments and insults heard on the tape. Over time, as the ink settles and dries, it leaves behind patterns resembling bruises. These ink patterns serve as a stark visual metaphor for the emotional and psychological scars inflicted on these children by the constant exposure to such a toxic environment.

The exhibit is designed to be immersive and thought-provoking, inviting visitors to witness the physical representation of these 'bruises' but also to experience the unsettling auditory background that causes them. This multi-sensory experience aims to raise awareness about the often unseen and unheard struggles of children in dysfunctional families, highlighting the lasting impact of verbal and emotional abuse.

「淤青」 展览是实验和展览设计的结合，深入探讨了不正常家庭中被忽视儿童的情感景观。展览的核心是一个互动音响系统，播放各种不正常家庭场景中的真实争吵和侮辱录音。这些录音不仅是听觉元素，也是催化剂，导致声音系统强烈振动。

在一个令人心酸的象征主义展示中，孩子们在这个背景下被描绘成一张白纸，象征着他们的天真和未被触及的本性。当声音系统振动时，它会导致放置在这些纸张附近或上面的墨水移动和分散。这种墨水的运动受到了磁带上听到的家庭争吵和侮辱的强度和频率的影响。随着时间的推移，当墨水沉淀干燥时，会留下类似瘀伤的图案。这些墨水图案作为一种鲜明的视觉隐喻，反映了这些孩子长期暴露在这样一个有毒的环境中所造成的情感和心理创伤。

该展览旨在让人身临其境，发人深省，邀请参观者见证这些“瘀伤”的物理表现，同时也体验引起这些“瘀伤”的令人不安的听觉背景。这种多感官体验旨在提高人们对不正常家庭中儿童往往看不见和闻所未闻的斗争的认识，突出语言和情感虐待的持久影响。
