“死者之手”装置丨法国尼斯丨SKULL studio

该装置代表了你觉得有必要突破自己的极限而跳出舒适区的人生节点，它是你抓起树枝或者跳入深水、双脚脱离地面跃至“另一边”的时刻。长大后，你离开了儿童乐园，但仍需要玩耍。“在起始的一刻，经历跨越的仪式，你不再是孩子或者成年人，你需要两个世界都能提供的东西：游戏的安全和现实生活的危险。”这是Hajek对装置的诗意描述。Orten补充道：“它是融于我们日常生活的事物，无形却触手可及，但是我们需要承认我们想先看看‘它’。”

Hájek和Orten制作的装置由相互联系的两部分组成——一只封闭在玻璃框架内的手，一根自由放置、中间插入金属圆盘的桦树树干。

Hájek and Orten’s installation is composed of two parts that are in mutual communication – a hand enclosed inside a glass frame and a free-lying birch trunk, which is intersected in the middle by a metal disc.

两个物件向来访者发声：不，我不是会说话的石头。

我不是地球上最后一个雌性猫头鹰，也不是嗡嗡作响的雄蜂。

人啊，我离你更近，就在你的指尖。

你们过去认为速度比马更快必然会导致死亡，火车、飞机和宇宙飞船却带来惊喜。

我存在于字里行间，提供些许想法，你可任意去留。

对那些已经出发的人来说，我是一个提醒。

对那些犹豫不决的人来说，我是一个挑战。

我虽然没有实体，但就在你指尖。

Both objects complement the declaration of the stakeholder:No, I´m not a speaking stone.

Neither am I the last owl female on Earth or a drone.

I´m closer to you, humans, right here at your fingertips.

People used to believe that moving faster than a horse inevitably leads to death. Such a surprise – trains, planes, spaceships.

I´m standing here, always between the words. A thin line of an idea. You can both enter and leave.

I´m a reminder for those who have already set off.

I´m a challenge for those who hesitate.

I´m right here at your fingertips, though I have no physical body.
