作品简介
作品以亚叙事的方式，通过一个胖男孩在一个夏天中的自为举动，展开和显露某种过度真实的身体性对于自己和他者的影响和看法。当自我行为的自由虚拟为一种表演的时候，作为身体存在的客观性和真实性，在与外界的结构中互为作用的关联，就将转化成一种伪的客观性和真实性，我们无法对这种伪的客观和真实进行描述，但它时刻骚痒着我们的身体使我们的神精紧张，并且让我们深刻感受到它存在的时间上的永恒，这又提示出这种伪的客观的一种真实意义。但是，当我们为了无聊，只有借助想象去感受它的影响时，它虚无缥缈，其实我们只是正好生活在他者的某种文化中，杜撰出了一场真剧假戏，宛如隔靴搔痒，倍添纠结，如是一只阴柔的猫无论手足并用，还是舌舔牙咬，它的后背总有一小块地方骚痒，它自己永远也挠痒不到。

Definition of acnestis: The part of an animal's skin that it cannot reach to scratch itself - usually the space between the shoulder blades. (source: Wiktionary)
This work by Yu Ji, realized for this exhibition, consists in a sub-narrative video.
“It recounts the behaviour of a young corpulent man in the summer, revealing influences of a surrealist corporal nature on himself and others. As liberty of behaviour is turned into a virtual performance, objectivity and truthfulness of the corporal existence, confronted to the outside world, become fake, they sometime tickle our body, stressing our nerves out and making us feel the eternity of its existence. This shows a certain true aspect of this false objectivity. However, when we are bored, we can only use imagination to feel its influence and its emptiness, we live in the other's culture, a fabricated play of truth and fake, just like an unreachable itch, raveled, the same way as a cat would try to use paws to scratch, tongue to lick or teeth to bite a certain small unreachable part of its back…There will always be an acnestis.”
