香格纳上海荣幸呈现孙逊个展《千江有水千江月》，展览将于2022年3月12日开幕，展期持续至4月26日。本次展览为孙逊在香格纳上海西岸空间的首次个展，也是继2019年长篇叙事动画影像《魔法星图》在香格纳M50空间发布后，阶段性创作成果的呈现。展览内容以《魔法星图》的开篇部分——螺刹为核心，呈现该部分动画影像和以木刻为主的大尺幅作品以及动画原稿，艺术家也将在展厅二层空间进行现场创作。

展览取题“千江有水千江月”，源自于孙逊对自身创作的概括，即他的作品作为现实之物的意象，并不在于单一媒介，而不同的媒介恰能促成艺术表达在不同层面的启示与碰撞。本次个展除动画影像部分外，作品均以木刻为主，对应了故事主人公“小之”游历的第一个虚构国家——螺刹：一个没有历史，没有记忆并禁止飞行的地方。木刻以其独有的刚硬、粗粝的视觉效果承载了螺刹国的特质，恰如其分地构建出动画的内在宇宙。螺刹部分是整部动画中有强烈叙事性的片段，占近三分之一的篇幅，观众可以在动画影像与静帧木刻之间，领略其流动叙事背后宏大而精密的世界观。

孙逊独特的工作方式使传统手工技法与现代数字技术相结合，极具中国传统特色的形式和内容跃然呈现于动画之中。孙逊的创作是数字时代语境下，东方文化现代性的体现。

ShanghART Shanghai is delighted to present Sun Xun's solo exhibition "Sun Xun: An Infinite Journey". The exhibition will launch on March 12 and run through April 26, 2022. This exhibition is Sun Xun's first solo exhibition at ShanghART Shanghai, which is also the presentation of staged creative achievements after the release of the feature-length narrative animation Magic of Atlas in ShanghART M50 in 2019. The exhibition is centered on the opening part of Magic of Atlas - Luocha, including the animation, large-scale woodcut works and original animation drawings. Moreover, the artist will perform live painting on 2F of the exhibition hall.

The title of the exhibition "An Infinite Journey" not only indicates the protagonist’s journey, but also metaphors the artist's creation concept. Stems from Sun Xun's generalization of his creation, his works as the imagery of the reality does not lie in a single medium, while different media can promote the enlightenment and collision of artistic expression at different levels. Except for the animation, the works of the exhibition are mainly woodcuts, which correspond to the first country that the protagonist "Xiaozhi" travels - Luocha: a nation with no history, no memory and deny flight. With its unique rigid and rough visual effects, the woodcut bears the feature of Luocha, and appropriately constructs the inner universe of the animation. The Luocha part is a clip with a strong narrative, which occupies nearly one-third of the origin animation. Audiences can appreciate the grand and sophisticated worldview behind the animation's flowing narrative while enjoying the animation and the woodcut stills.

Sun Xun's unique manner of working combines traditional manual techniques with modern digital technology, so the form and content with distinct Chinese traditional characteristics are vividly presented in the animation. Sun Xun's creations reflect the modernity of oriental culture in the context of digital era.
