东京国家艺术中心于1月份举办了回顾十年的展览活动以庆祝艺术馆成立10周年。一个意为展望未来十年的巨大装置——“数字森林”被设置于特展厅之内,这是至今为止出自Emmanuelle之手的最大的装置。白色方形的展厅没有设置任何隔墙,被一百多种色彩填满空间。

The National Art Center, Tokyo has celebrated its 10th Anniversary in January. As a commemoration, it presented the museum activities of the past ten years in the Special Exhibition Gallery room, which was superimposed with a large installation “Forest of Numbers” – the symbolization of the next 10 years to come. Used without any partition walls for the first time, the 2000 square meter White Cube exhibition room became a canvas of the installation, filled with “100 colors”, inspiration and emotion, which became the largest installation of Emmanuelle’s work.

“数字森林”预示着从2017到2026的未来十年,整个装置在巨大的展厅中创造出一种静谧之感。超过60000件从0-9的数字构件悬浮在三维网格中。中间一部分被移除,让出一条供穿越路径,以使参观者可以置身于这巨大的“数字森林”之中。装置分为10层,代表着未来的10年。每一层都由四个数字随机布置而成,数字代表着年份,如由2,0,1,7四个数字组成的那一层代表着2017年。这个装置是Emmanuelle“100色”艺术作品系列的一部分,因此10个时间层被染成100多种颜色,创造出了一个色彩斑斓的时光穿越森林。

The installation “Forest of Numbers” visualized the decade of the future from 2017 to 2026, created a sense of stillness across the large exhibition space. More than 60,000 pieces of suspended numeral figures from 0 to 9 were regularly aligned in three dimensional grids. A section was removed, created a path that cut through the installation, invited visitors to wonder inside the colorful forest filled with numbers. The installation was composed of 10 layers which is the representation of 10 years time. Each layer employed 4 digits to express the relevant year such as 2, 0, 1, and 7 for 2017, which were randomly positioned on the grids. As part of Emmanuelle’s “100 colors” installation series, the layers of time were colored in 100 shades of colors, created a colorful time travel through the forest.

这个装置由300名志愿者参与制作。在这五颜六色的森林里,两个女孩和一只猫藏于于其中,这增加了展品的趣味性。十年内展览的海报展示在右边的墙上,与之对面的墙上也展示着预表示未来十年的白色数字。因为展览允许拍摄,照片早已经通过社交网络广泛传播,达到了很好的宣传效果,使得开展10天吸引了20000名参观者。

Inside the colorful forest, two girls and one cat were lost inside, added playfulness to the installation. In concert with the installation, the compilation of exhibition posters from the last ten years filled the wall on the right, and the opposite wall across the room simply expressed the next ten years with white numbers. Because photography was exceptionally allowed, the installation has spread through various social networks, increasing number of visitors. This installation was created with the cooperation of 300 volunteers, excited the attention of over 20,000 visitors in10 days.
