提到Emmanuelle Moureaux这个名字,想必大家都不陌生,这位擅长使用色彩的法国女设计师,从2013年开始,创制了一系列“100种颜色”的设计作品,涉及各个领域,尽管每一次的作品都似曾相识,但每一次还都会让人眼前一亮,怦然心动。今年的作品是一个名为“未来”的公共雕塑,位于东京利川市的一个新区里,作品仍然沿袭了该系列的色彩运用,用100种颜色绘出未来100年——2020—2119这100个不同的数字,寓意彩色的未来由代表过去的白色数字来支撑。

Well known for her colorful large-scale installations, Emmanuelle Moureaux has unveiled her first public sculpture in Tokyo. Dubbed “mirai” (meaning “the future” in Japanese), the artwork visualizes the next 100 years to come (2020 to 2119) in 100 different shades of colors. The colorful future is supported structurally by the past, represented through white numbers. “mirai” – forms part of Moureaux’s ongoing ‘100 colors’ installation series – is located in Green Springs, the new well-being district in Tokyo.

东京街头纵横交错的各种层次和色彩,传统的日式推拉木门,让Emmanuelle Moureaux受到启发,从而创造了“shikiri”——即“用色彩来分割空间”这样一个概念。她将自己的色彩理论实践于多个项目,其中包括巢鸭银行的建筑设计,ABC烹饪工作室的空间设计,优衣库和三宅一生的艺术造型,“100种颜色”系列的艺术装置,以及东京国家艺术中心的“数字森林”。

Inspired by the layers and colors of Tokyo that built a complex depth and density on the street, and the traditional spatial elements like sliding screens, she has created the concept of “shikiri”, which literally means “dividing (creating) space with colors”. Using colors as her signature, her works extend to a number of projects, including architectural design for Sugamo Shinkin Bank, space design for ABC Cooking Studio, art installations for UNIQLO and ISSEY MIYAKE, “100 colors” art installation series, and “Forest of Numbers” at The National Art Center, Tokyo.

“100种颜色”系列开始于2013年,其理念是使用100种不同的色调来构成空间。Emmanuelle希望通过色彩来表达内心的情感,就像1995年她第一次来到东京时感受到的视觉冲击那样。她同时希望给人们创造机会,调动自己的各种感官,通过视觉、触觉和感觉,实实在在地去感知我们身边的色彩。

“100 colors” is an installation series began in 2013, which forms space using 100 shades of colors. Emmanuelle wishes to give emotions through colors as she felt from seeing overflowing “colors” in Tokyo when she first visited in 1995. She also wishes to give opportunities for people to see, touch and feel colors with their senses to become more conscious of colors that exist around them.

在“100种颜色”系列中,色彩的呈现方式会根据环境的不同而变换,以便将色彩之美淋漓尽致地展现出来。该系列的造型装置将继续在世界各地巡回展出。

In “100 colors”, Colors are explored in various forms depending on the environment, to maximize the beauty of colors. 100 colors entering the body with a glance triggers a physical response to engage with the sensation of colors. The installation series will continue to travel around the world.
