展览——《 我们在内心深处能看到多远？》前言

展览汇集了在中国出生，被收养至魁北克（加拿大）的艺术家的作品。她们在成长过程中疏离了原来的家园和文化，试图通过创造力和与过去片段的接触，重新认识自己的华裔身份。这些艺术作品源于共同的理念，相互呼应，邀请公众进入一场关于身份认同的当代对话。

在此背景下，Corinne Beaumier（b.1989，湖南长沙）的作品唤起了信息在时间中的可追溯性。在《背景与形式》系列中，她使用中国最古老的传统手工艺之一, 剪纸技术，在她的养父母 90 年代在中国拍摄的照片中创造出令人着迷的细节和阴影。

同样对重塑档案照片感兴趣的还有童宙（b.1998，安徽铜陵），她审视了跨文化遗产的重建、辉煌与平凡之间的交集，以及归属感的迁移性。在作品《来自：中国，寄往：加拿大》, 《中国梦》和《无题劳动》中，童宙通过手工重现制造纸藤挂历的工业编织方法。

作为故障艺术实验的成果，安媛 (b. 1994, 湖南郴州) 的《Alt + R (替代现实)》系列沿用了类似的探索方式：通过操纵、扭曲和混合摄影记忆，赋予它们新的意义。作为一名专业音乐家，她通过将图像数据与音效结合来制造故障效果。安媛与童宙正在展示她们的新合作项目《转换 Alt+R》，将她们在多媒体艺术和纤维艺术领域的实践结合在一起。

“How far can we see within?” brings together the works of Sino-Canadian artists, born in China and adopted in Canada. Having grown up estranged from their original home and culture, they attempt to reconnect with their Chinese identity through creativity and the contact with pieces of their past. Originating from common ideas, the artworks echo each other, inviting the public to enter into a contemporary dialogue about identity.

Within this context, Corinne Beaumier (b.1989)’s works evoke the traceability of information through time in her paper cutting series "Le fond et la forme" and photography diptych "Couleurs non imprimables".

Also interested in the reinventing archival photos, 童宙 Tong Zhou Lafrance (b.1998) examines the reconstruction of cross-cultural heritage, the intersection between the splendid and the mundane, and the migratory nature of the sense of belonging. In the works, "From: China; To: Canada", "The Chinese Dream" and "Untitled Labour", Tong Zhou Lafrance cuts and reweaves her own photographic memories.

A result of a glitch art experiment, 安媛 An Laurence (b.1994)’s “Alt + R” series is an exploration along the same lines; manipulating, distorting and blending photographic memories to give them a new meaning. A professional musician as well, the artist created glitches by subjecting images data to sound effects. An Laurence and Tong Zhou Lafrance are presenting a new collaboration “Conversion Alt+R”, joining their respective practices in media arts and fiber arts.
