家庭记忆展览策展及其展册折页结构设计
Family Spatial Memories Exhibition
Curation and Booklet Folding-structure Design

折叠,作为一种体现在身体上的日常生活经验,充盈着当下的家庭空间。“家之折”提取日常整理收纳中的物品折叠现象,结合展览情境下的纸质展册,形成四种无胶无订的不同纸张折叠结构,用“折叠”讨论“折叠”。翻阅不同的册子,家庭整理与收纳过程中的厚薄、大小、长短、前后四种空间关系随之表现。

Folding, as a kind of daily life experience embodied in the body, fills up the domestic space nowadays. “Family Folding” extracts the phenomenon of folding objects in daily organisation and storage, and combines it with the paper booklet in the context of the exhibition to form four different paper folding structures without glue or staples, and discusses “folding” in terms of “folding”. Folding” is discussed in terms of “folding”. By flipping through the different booklets, the four spatial relationships of thickness, size, length, front and back in the process of household organisation and storage are expressed.

用折叠讨论折叠

家庭是一个流动的展场,物品在其中时而展出、时而撤掉。如何用平面视观察这个空间?我选择了折叠的视角。这里的“折叠”,不只是把纸张布料弯折、让它们的视觉面积缩小的过程,例如布料纸张;“折叠”也是借助可折叠的金属或木质合页构件,隐藏和“清理”物品的过程,例如柜门盒盖。从特定的视平面角度看,这些物品进行折叠时,会呈现出平面布局上的变化。而折叠也是被纸质展览展册所使用的一种常见结构。所以我设想,何不以展册的折叠结构本身,去尝试展现这个展场中的“折叠”现象?于是我选取了其中四类“折叠”,把我自己的物品和部分家人的物品为研究素材,用展册制作了一个虚构的家庭展览。

The home is a mobile exhibition space in which objects are exhibited and removed from time to time. How do you observe this space with a flat view? I chose the folded perspective. Folding” here is not only the process of bending paper and fabric to make their visual area smaller, such as fabric paper; “folding” is also the process of hiding and “cleaning” objects with the help of foldable metal or wooden hinge elements, such as cabinet door and box covers. Folding” is also the process of concealing and “cleaning up” objects with the help of foldable metal or wooden hinge elements, as in the case of cabinet door lids. When viewed from a particular viewing plane, these objects, when folded, present a change in plan layout. Folding is also a common structure used by paper exhibition brochures. So I thought, why not use the folding structure of the exhibition catalogue itself to try to show the “folding” phenomenon in this exhibition venue? So I chose four types of folding and used my own belongings and some of my family’s belongings as research materials to create a fictional family exhibition in the catalogue.

① 厚薄空间:堆放物品时的侧面

记录事件、收集物件,让书本变厚、让包袋变鼓,观看这些物品的侧面时,我们从每一页的具体记忆跳出来,转而回想它的来源和背后故事。

所以从这个角度出发,我把书脊“匚”结构与纸折叠进行结合,做出一本50张纸叠成的“书”,每一张纸的“匚”都比外面一张窄一些,摞起来,就码成了一本书的形态,但实际它每一页都是分开的;翻阅时,先看到物品的封面、再看到印在侧边的物品侧面,讲述也展示在同一面。而叙事上,从厚到薄的排列顺序,将我从小到大的记忆打乱。

大小空间:物品被拿出盒子时的变化

收藏各种物件的盒子里,我们会按照“能不能放进这个空儿”的空间逻辑放物品;而从盒子拿出这些物品时,盒子周围的空间被物品一点点填满的同时,不同时间的物品也会被“随机”地摆在一起。

为了体现这种变化,用纸张的垂直交叉折表现“随机”的展开;每一次打开,每一道纸折痕与盒盖盒体交界处相重合,盒子内的物品会在下一页被拿出,更小的盒子打开-拿出同样如此;叙事上,对物品的描述随着物品被拿出而分层展现,比如我的大玩具会放在大盒子里,因为大所以更先出现,而徽章之类的小物件则在更小的盒子里,更小则靠后出现。

长短空间:笔堆起来的一排

成长过程中会反复打开装笔的笔盒笔袋,不同人生阶段打开的笔盒内部也会有不同的笔,把这些不同时期打开的盒子并置,形成的是一条笔形成的道路。

用连续的纸张卷折体现笔盒打开的过程;翻阅时,单次折的是打开笔盒内部,前后折叠则是笔盒结构的复制和笔的变化,比如小学玩具笔、初中钢笔、艺考画笔、大学鼠标指针,形成一条与爱好、职业相关的路,长与短的空间逻辑也在其中展现。

④ 前后:使用频率不同的收纳

椅背上会出现随意折叠的衣物、柜子里会放置折叠整齐的被单、床底会放着压缩了的真空折叠袋——不同收纳空间的使用频率不同,里面床品衣物的形态也不同。我将这种空间理解为使用频率所造成的前与后,高频的折叠在前、低频的折叠在后。

与垂直交叉折不同,模拟被单的开门折,它展开时有一块居于中心的平面空间,每次“开门”都会进到下一层。翻阅时,随机折痕、到规整折痕、到无折痕,用这个结构展现我和家人使用的床品衣物的频率,以及其中的喜好和习惯,例如,黑灰颜色常用,父母结婚时绣花床单和不应季的不常用,等等。

展览现场

展览突出视觉和互动、弱化衍生品。右墙是互动区,前有四个不同尺寸的展台,用来放置展开后的纸张,展台上用黑色纸胶带画出不同面积的线条,引导观众发现线条与展册开合的关系,配以和主题物相关的电灯;左墙用等轴测图介绍空间的逻辑关系,并展示衍生品。
