由上海玻璃博物馆资助的长石艺术基金会将于2025年9月26日呈现艺术家陈轴个展——《梦镜图》。展览缘起于艺术家陈轴在2025年初受基金会邀请，前往贵州云山屯展开的驻留项目。在深邃的山洞中，陈轴关掉一切光源，体会黑暗与静默同在的时刻。洞穴宛如一个古老的寓言，触发了他对“存在与意识”的本源思考。这种无声无光的体验，成为了《梦镜图》创作的重要起点。

在展览《梦境图》中，具身体验、绘画与装置互为呼应，织就光、影、空间与意识的多重互动。梦与镜子被视作双重隐喻。梦境中的主体常常流动不定：有时是清醒时的自我，有时成为陌生的“他者”，或是虚空中的旁观者，甚至更抽象的存在。镜子则在确认自我的同时，也引发对存在的否定。艺术家陈轴通过装置、声音与环境的综合呈现，构筑出模糊真实与虚假的界面，引导观众沉浸于如梦境般的境地，在镜像与自我、虚幻与真实之间，体会那份难以言说却挥之不去的困惑。

此次展览的完美呈现亦得益于两位重要合作者的加入：电影混音师李哲，通过声音构筑出沉浸而层次丰富的听觉场景；以及建筑师潘加伟，以独特的空间设计强化了观众的路径体验，使作品之间的流转更具叙事性。

Supported by the Chance Art Foundation, the Shanghai Museum of Glass is proud to present The Dreaming Mirror, a solo exhibition by artist Chen Zhou, opening on September 26, 2025. The exhibition grew out of Chen’s residency earlier this year in Yunshantun, Guizhou, invited by the Foundation. In the depths of a mountain cave, he extinguished all light sources, experiencing a moment where darkness and silence coexisted. The cave, like an ancient allegory, prompted a fundamental reflection on “existence and consciousness.” This silent, lightless encounter became a vital starting point for the creation of The Dreaming Mirror.

In the exhibition, embodied experience, painting, and installation resonate with one another, weaving together light, shadow, space, and awareness. Dreams and mirrors are conceived as dual metaphors. In dreams, the subject often shifts: sometimes the self of waking life, sometimes a stranger, sometimes an observer in the void, or even a more abstract presence. The mirror, while affirming the self, simultaneously invokes its negation. Through an integration of installation, sound, and environment, Chen Zhou constructs an ambiguous threshold between truth and illusion, guiding viewers into a dreamlike state where mirror and self, illusion and reality, intertwine—eliciting a persistent, unutterable sense of doubt.

The exhibition also benefits from two key collaborators. Film sound designer Li Zhe shapes an immersive, layered auditory landscape, while architect Pan Jiawei reinforces the audience’s journey through distinctive spatial design, giving narrative continuity to the transitions between works.

陈轴

1987年出生于中国浙江，现居上海。他以绘画、影像与行为表演为主要创作媒介，关注人的存在体验。陈轴早期的创作以影像为主，关于当代生活的荒诞性，身份的表演性与欺骗性，虚拟世界的孤独与异化。疫情之后，他的实践更多涉及绘画与行为表演。其长期研习的佛家思想逐渐渗入创作，使作品散发出一种内在的精神力，静谧的气息，同时具有东方色彩的超现实主义风格。他开始探索身体、空间、知觉、精神、能量之间的关系。

陈轴的首部纪录片电影《模仿生活》（2017）获得哥本哈cc根纪录片电影节新视野奖；韩国 DMZ 电影节亚洲视点奖；并入围 61 届伦敦电影节。他也是ArtReview Future Greats （2018）的入选者之一。他的行为表演《形同虚设IV》（2024）在蓬皮杜艺术中心展出。

他近期的个展有：“归隐图”上海嘉园海美术馆（2025）“行旅图”西岸美术馆x蓬皮杜艺术中心五年项目，上海西岸美术馆（2024）；“蓝洞”香港白立方画廊（2018）。

Chen Zhou,

born in 1987 in Zhejiang, China, is currently based in Shanghai. He primarily works with painting, video, and performance art, focusing on the human experience of existence. In his early works, mainly in video, he explored the absurdity of contemporary life, the performative and deceptive aspects of identity, and the loneliness and alienation within virtual worlds. Since the pandemic, he has increasingly focused on painting and performance. His long-term studies of Buddhist philosophy have gradually influenced his work, giving it an inner spiritual force, a tranquil aura, and an Oriental surrealist style. In this phase, Chen has begun to explore the relationships between the body, space, perception, spirit, and energy.
