Is Civilization Another Pronoun for False? Chinese Contemporary Artists are Thinking about it

As nowadays moral is neglected, people don’t pay attention anymore to the fact, avoid or disregard it: Today how much authenticity is still in our civilization? Only few people care about what the culture’s original meaning is. The world is both true and false. The civilization’s inveracity makes the artists struggle with their ideas. However they don’t want to attract the audience’s attention on themselves, but they try their best to expose the gloss of a pseudo-culture, expressing their own perspective even if it won’t be persuasive. As an individual or a group, can we imagine that civilization is another pronoun for false? In his work, Chen Wei set up a depressed, lost or meditating character that couldn’t find his own way in those similar scenes. The enclosed space is filled up with a delicate and tense psychological hint: when time is unknowable, the accumulation of obsolete items from memories gives somewhat to everyone an unavoidable quiver.Through his work, Ma Yongfeng restores people’s primordial dream about nature. The beautiful man-made landscapes become a powerful accusation to the human and animal’s absence. His photography is not passive but saddening, likes a theatrical satire.The crowd, dictionaries, flags, ropes and religious themes are the hallucination’s origin of Jin Shan’s works. He seems to describe a dissociation of spirit, which makes the parade looks like performing a circus’s chaffing sideshow. In an imaginary time and space, Wang Ningde exchanges on purpose characters identity and event: in a dream world adults are innocently playing like in their childhood. While memories are quickly fading away, life is becoming more real and illusions more false. The artist uses images instead of words to show us that if dreams are grafted on unsuitable medium everything becomes fad and effectiveness.In his installations, Yang Longhai uses sexy lips and tongue to flirt with the audience, but as people walk towards it with curiosity he refuses. He is making a joke to call people’s attention: failed resisting the temptation is actually a self-deception.
