Paper ManWed Jul 19 2022
My observations of everyday life inspire this series. We often refer to 2D characters online as Papermen, but I aim to express that with the network's influence, real-life people also present a flat, Paperman-like image. This image can lie, be pulled, folded, or scrunched...
这个系列的灵感来自我对日常生活的观察。我们经常把网络上的二维人物称为“纸片人”,但我想表达的是,在网络的影响下,现实生活中的人们也会呈现出平面的、类似纸片人的形象。这种形象可以“躺平”,可以被拉扯,甚至可以被折叠或揉成一团......
LIE(躺平)
Does this picture remind you of people "lying flat" in real life? In recent years, the concept of "tangping" has emerged as the opposite of "neijuan." It reflects the current state of contemporary youth and represents a rebellion against ineffective competition.
这张图片是否让你想起了现实生活中 “躺平 ”的人?近年来,作为 “内卷”的反面,“躺平”的概念应运而生。它反映了当代年轻人的现状,也代表了对无效竞争的抗争。
PULL(拉扯)
Fragile paperman is firmly involved by various external factors, about to be torn apart.
The implication here is that people are constrained by work, relationships, and so on and that these constraints sometimes constitute a danger.
脆弱的 “纸人 ”被各种外部因素牢牢卷入,即将被撕裂。
这里的含义是,人们受到工作、人际关系等因素的制约,而这些制约有时会构成一种危险。
FOLD(折叠)
The folded paperman refuses to look at the brightly coloured flowers in the real world, instead turning this appreciation to the online world.
Is this an active attempt or a passive choice forced by the social environment?
被折叠的纸片人拒绝观看现实世界中色彩鲜艳的花朵,而是将目光转向了网络世界。
这是一种主动的尝试,还是社会环境逼迫下的被动选择?
SCRUNCH(揉皱)
Even in the case of being crumpled up by an external force, it doesn't look too bad. If this form has a certain artistic beauty, it can also be displayed as artwork on social platforms.
The seemingly hopeless paperman can be reborn in the online world. Is it a joy or a feeling of sorrow?
即使被外力揉成一团,也不会显得太难看。如果这种形式具有一定的艺术美感,还可以作为艺术品在社交平台上展示。
看似无药可救的人,也能在网络世界获得重生。这究竟是喜还是忧?
