Tracing the Exhibition Jun Yang Paris Syndrome Curated by Hu Fang Vitamin Creative Space 20/ 01–30/ 04/ 2008 杨 俊 巴 黎 症 策划：胡昉 维他命艺术空间,广州 2008年1月20日－4月30日 巴黎症候群是一种心理失调，症发于到巴黎工作或休假的日本人。 这是一种精神创伤，来自于因无法使梦境般的想象（巴黎作为童话般的城市，爱和罗 曼司的象征）和严酷的现实之间和谐一致而产生的无力感，是当梦想，拟像，图像， 愿望与现实世界相遇时，而产生的某种消极的文化冲击 Paris Syndrome is a psychological disorder, diagnosed on Japanese working or on vacation in Paris. It is a traumata arriving from the inability to reconcile between their dream-image and the harsh reality of Paris (Paris as a fairy-tale city, the symbol of love and romance). A kind of negative cultural shock. Dream/Simulation/Image/Wish meets Reality/the real World. 明天会更好 Tomorrow will be even better 装置，2007 铁架，喷漆镀锡铁字 Installation, 2007 Iron stand, tinned iron letter with paint P.S. 肉菜市场-灯 P.S.

I feel like I'm in a "better life" living room, and it seems a better tomorrow is inevitably coming... Jun Yang: What I found interesting in the situation within the story of Paris Syndrome is the question about the difference between the reality and the dream that we have, so in a way I thought it's much more beautiful annectent about something like longing for something, hoping for something and dreaming for something, that something expresses our need and wishes towards something, and if you think of this direction, Paris Syndrome happens everyday, in all of us, this is one of the thoughts we started... so even though I didn't know what piece I am going to do, I really want to do a piece dealing with about longing for something, it expresses the reason why we move on. From Paris Syndrome in Guangzhou, a conversation between Jun Yang and Hu Fang 杨俊对现实的观察往往不是为了得出对现实批判性的结论，而更多是从个人，一个来自另外一种生存和文化背景中的个人对这块土地上正在发 生的一切提供一个有趣的视角…… 空间中的一切不仅是看的，也是用的（连《巴黎症》这个影片也可以成为广州著名欧陆风情楼盘的指南），它同时涵盖了现实意义的使用功能 和对现实功能的概念性抽空、误用和拼接，而对于杨俊，对现实功能的存在和抽空，分离，重组进行富有悖论性的结合不是反讽性的，正如他 认为广告牌上的标语“明天会更好”不是反讽性的一样。恰恰是这种看似矛盾的结合创造出日常生存经验和概念思考之间的模糊区域，从而将 看似悖谬的不同种生存逻辑交织在一起，进而，表皮可以成为内容，真和赝之间不再是个问题，重要的，它们带来一种新的生存体验（同时在 现实意义上和概念意义上的），成为一种新的媒介。杨俊给我们呈现的恰恰是从他的个体生存经验中形成的一个“更好的”生活场景，是他能 够把握，能够选择，能够用双手去和我们共同去实现的空间，由此，通过看和使用它们，每个人将接收到这个空间所散发出来的去“想”去“做” 的信号…… 摘自：胡昉《杨俊在广州的“巴黎症”》 * 此文章可在维他命艺术空间网站项目栏）下载 展览时间：2008 年 1 月 19 日至 4 月 30 日 地点：维他命艺术空间 (广州赤岗西路横一街 29 号 301) 空间联系：[email protected] 媒体联系：[email protected] Exhibition dates: 19th January – 30th April 2008 Venue: Vitamin Creative Space (# 301-29.
