滇池风土艺术季 参展项目

When we observe the disappearing terroir, what are we actually observing?
概念：当我们观察消亡的风土时，我们究竟在观察什么？


The Chinese term "terroir（风土）" can be interpreted as the collective representation of the unique natural conditions, geographical environment, and customs specific to a particular place. Therefore, when we refer to the disappearance of terroir, we are likely indicating the gradual process through which natural landscapes or cultural customs are diminishing. This represents a dynamic and uncertain phase, particularly evident in structures undergoing a process of re-wilding. It imbues landscapes with a sense of ambiguity, making it challenging to determine whether nature or human intervention dominates the discourse on the aesthetic presentation of the landscape. This ambiguity allows for various interpretations of the same landscape, prompting our imaginations of the terroir in its original form. When encountering collapsed buildings, we may wonder, "How did people once live under these fractured beams?" As a result, the material fragments that constitute terroir are connected with the experiences of the observers, forming new narratives for individual’s private, fragmented memories.

风土的中文名词解释是“一个地方特有的自然条件、地理环境和风俗习惯的统称”，所以根据语义，当我们提到风土的消亡时，我们大概是指某种原有的自然景观或人文风俗逐渐走向残缺的过程。这是一种动态的、不确定的阶段，尤其体现在那些正经历着再野化的构筑物上。它使景观具有边缘性，无法判断究竟是自然还是人工霸占了对景观美感呈现的话语权。这使得同一景观的不同解释成为可能，它引发我们对风土原貌的想象。“在断裂的横梁之下，人们曾经是怎么生活的？”，我们在看到危房的时候不经这么想。于是构成风土的物质碎片和观看者的生活经历联系起来，构成了新的故事，成为了个体对私人残缺记忆的补充与慰藉。
