Description

Guge Bricks 1500 (Guge = Google) Installation de l'artiste Shu Yong 2013 briques en résine Pavillon de la Chine 55ème Biennale de Venise

L'artiste a recueilli 1500 slogans, mots, maximes et autres expressions utilisés dans le langage populaire chinois. Il a traduit ces mots en anglais avec Google Translation et les a inscrits sous forme calligraphique sur une feuille de papier de riz, à coté du mot chinois.

Chaque papier a été incorporé dans une brique en résine dont la taille est la même que celles de la Grande Muraille de Chine.

Les traductions par Google (Guge) sont très mauvaises ; selon l'artiste, elles révèlent les énormes différences qui existent, malgré la mondialisation, entre les cultures de l'est et de l'ouest. L’œuvre en forme de muraille symbolise ainsi le mur caché qui sépare les pays occidentaux de la Chine.

En mettant en scène cette confrontation, l'installation tente d'abolir les frontières entre l'art et la société, dans cette perspective elle s'inscrit pleinement dans le thème du pavillon qui, en 2013, est la Transfiguration.
