ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

藝術家簡介

Lai Tsz Yin works across installation, sculpture, and performance to examine nuances of meaning in different contexts and to challenge conventional perception. Lai's works are mostly rational and reflective, attempting to reinterpret daily activities, scenarios and objects in an effort to seek the authenticity and essence that are hidden and altered in our reality. 

 

黎子言的創作涵蓋裝置、雕塑與行為,旨在探討語意在不同脈絡中的微妙變化,並挑戰既有的認知。黎氏的作品多具理性與反思性,嘗試重新詮釋日常活動、情境與物件,以尋找在現實中被隱藏或異化的真實與本質。

At the end of the day 日子的最後

Modular metal shelves, mechanical analog light box 

模組鐵架,機械類比燈箱 

 

Size variables 

尺寸不定 

 

The shelves stand in tidy rows, their deliberately piled density makes a space at once brimming and hollow. Light and shadow alternate repeatedly, so that this state appears, then vanishes, and everything keeps to its usual course.  They say it is to gather more, yet it slowly alienates itself into something scarcely able to hold anything, and it gains nothing after all. Under daylight, there is nothing new.  

 

架子整齊排列,其刻意堆砌的高密度成就某種既充盈又空洞的空間。光影反覆交替,將此狀態時而顯現、時而隱匿,一切照常運作。  說是為了獲取更多,自身卻逐漸異化為無以承載多少的存在,終究未真正得到什麼。日光之下,並無新事。

The end of one day is also the beginning of another. Perhaps every choice has long since been made. 

 

一日的結束亦是一日的開始。關於一切,或許你早已決定。 

PREVIOUS WORK

過往作品

Boundary Exercise 

2025 

 

Cutting mat and video installation 

 

Size variable, 0'35", looping 

 

In Boundary Exercise, Lai recorded himself cutting a blank piece of paper on a cutting mat and projecting the video onto the exact mat that he used. A deep cut is created on the mat after Lai repeatedly cut 2000 sheets of paper in the same position and spot.  

Through this work, Lai transforms his idea of setting a boundary into the act of repeatedly cutting the same line, as both require precision and refinement, yet are repetitive and cumulative, in order to make a clear cut, or a boundary. 

Practice of Time Perception (Active) 

2024 

 

Single-channel video 

 

Size variable, 3’07”, looping 

 

Through the practice of counting ten seconds, the difference and distance between oneself and the standard are repeatedly perceived, and to revisit the ability to believe.
