| 説明 | 2 April 2008Doris Salcedo’s "Shibboleth" is a bick crack in the floor of the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall.On the one hand, just making a big hole in the floor of the museum seems to be more or less the height of Capitalistic, wretched excess. On the other hand, it actually works visually. The point is about racism as a chasm which divides modern societies, so a big tear in the floor of a major cultural insitution is not a bad way to illustrate that. If you look closesly at the photo, you should be able to see the chain link that she used to construatc the crack. Her materials are visible, I think not at all by accident. Yes, racism looks like a giant desctrictuve natural force tearing things up, but that's not exactly true. It's actually carefully constructed. We made racism and we can unmake it, just like the Tate will repair it's floors in 4 days time.Thus, the work shows not only the terrible destructiveness of racism, but emphasies that it's man-made and can be undone. So I like the piece on that level.I do wonder, though, if pieces like this actually need to be made, or if you can just pretend they exist and talk about them as if they do?On the other hand, the hall was full of people looking at, interacting with and thinking about the issues raised by this piece. Neat. |
