展覽介紹：
造像
文 杜曦雲
與其說張巍是攝影者，不如說是以攝影的方式製造虛擬圖像的人。這些看似客觀記錄的、很接近「原型」的圖像，其實是把很多中國人的身體局部在電腦中無縫拼接而成。這些略帶怪異的臉孔和身體，呈現出一種微弱的荒誕感。因為貌似客觀記錄，這種介於真實和虛擬之間的微弱荒誕感，在感覺上更加牽動人心。
張巍很重視對人性的洞察，這些圖像精緻而怪異，有濃厚的「藝術」趣味，但有一定人生閱歷和知識儲備的觀者，又能感覺到混雜在藝術趣味中的文化政治觀念。他這幾年製造出的大批圖像，透露有沉重的歷史負擔和生存體驗，但他懂得「魅力」的重要性——這些沉重的、令人不悅的、勞神費心的觀念，如果以直白的方式出現，很可能讓人望而卻步。當把它們摻和在富有直觀吸引力的感性形式中時，卻可能被吸收、消化。
在繪畫/攝影、拍攝/製作、真實/虛擬、正常/反常之間，張巍在精心調節著尺度，讓這些圖像保持著動人的張力。他的作品散發著迷人的異趣，有遊戲的輕鬆和戲謔的快感，又夾雜著悲情抑或是絕望。
False image Du Xiyun
Zhang Wei is not so much a photographer as a person who manufactures virtual photographic images. These seemingly objective records, very close to the 「prototype」 of the images, have, in fact, spliced Chinese people’s body parts seamlessly. These slightly weird faces and bodies show a weak sense of the absurdity. Because of these seemingly objective records and the a weak sense of absurdity between the real and virtual, it affects people more. Zhang Wei has a deep insight in human nature. These delicate and bizarre images have a strong 「artistic」 taste. Viewers with life experiences and knowledge base can feel the cultural and political concepts mixed in the artistic tastes. In the past few years, he has created a large number of images that revealed heavy historical burden and survival experiences. But he understands the importance of 「charm」-these heavy, unpleasant, and bothering concepts. If using straightforward approaches, it appears like to be prohibitive. When blending them in a visually attractive and rich sensual form, it may be absorbed and digested. Between painting/photography, filming/production, real/virtual, normal/abnormal, Zhang Wei carefully regulates the scale so that these images keep moving tension. His work exudes a charming interest. There is a relaxed and playful games of pleasure, but also mixed with sadness and hopeless.
