Linnea Long - Absent Gallery

Linnea Long 龙嘉雯
Vague is a poetic expression of the uncertainty of memory. Like a blurred photograph, memory exists in a state of flux between clarity and blurriness. And forgetting is a double-edged sword, both painful and healing. It can embellish painful memories, making them softer and more acceptable, and here the two-dimensional nature of memory is explored.
This work explores the uncertainty of memory, using ice as an alternative way of presenting glass. They are similar in substance, with transparent and fragile qualities and the same ambiguity, together showing the changes in time and space. In this work, everything becomes transient and fluid.
The passage of time is shown in the gradual melting of the ice, symbolising the change of memory. Just as glass can reflect images, ice can change through light during the melting process, showing the change of memory space at another time. Between the passage of time and stillness, the present and the past, the internal and the external are connected, and together they explore the fragility of the memory of Alzheimer's disease patients and the passing of time.

Vague 是对记忆悬⽽不定状态的诗意表达。记忆如同模糊的照⽚，存在于清晰与模糊之间的流动状态之中。⽽遗忘是⼀把双刃剑，既带来痛苦，也能带来治癒。它能美化痛苦的记忆，让其变得柔和⽽可接受，记忆的⼆元
性在此被探讨。

这件作品探讨了记忆的不确定性，以冰作为玻璃的另⼀种呈现⽅式。它们在本质上相似，都具有透明与脆弱的特质和同⼀的模糊性，共同展现出时间与空间的变化。在这个作品中，⼀切变得易逝和流动。

时间的推移展现在冰逐渐融化的过程，象徵著记忆的变化。就像玻璃能够反射图像，冰块也能够在融化过程中透过光线的改变，展示出另⼀个时间，记忆空间的变化。在时间的流逝与静⽌之间，现在与过去，内在与外在被连接起来，共同探讨著阿兹海默症患者记忆的脆弱与流逝。
