"Whilst travelling through the rainforest, my eyes swept over a strange structure of whirling, flowing, curling dead leaves clinging to hidden cobwebs of discarded leaves that appeared to be suspended in the air," says LU Song, explaining the origin of the Dance of Trees series. "The background's emerald green of regeneration blends with the smell of decomposing leaves, evoking a new world that flattens time or being elegiac or joyful of that moment when the old and the new meet and coexist. The curving, floating forms of the dead leaves resemble those of a modern dancer or acrobat, showcasing the interaction between the body and space through a variety of astonishing airborne moves.”
In light of this, it is simple to comprehend LU Song’s inspiration for creating this environment as well as to picture his feelings upon first seeing it. He tells about an odd thing that captures a moment when the old and the young are alternating and coexisting. It has the aroma of rotting leaves mixed in with the green tint of fresh life. This illustrates not only the natural cycle and turnover but also the passing of time and the transience of existence, as nature and time merge to form one. LU Song uses the metaphor of the dancing leaves and branches to represent the dynamism and change of life. The investigation of this form represents the investigation of the body's relationship to space, illustrating life's quest for harmony and balance in the face of perpetual change. LU Song's attempts to depict a supernatural phenomenon and an enigmatic power in his works surely reflect his interest in the unanswered secrets of nature. As stated in his self-description, he conjures up a fanciful time and space by fusing parts of nature and human conduct to subjectively interpret natural phenomena.
吕松如此讲述《树舞》系列的缘起:“在穿越雨林的途中,我的余光扫到一个旋转、流动的奇特结构,卷曲的枯叶粘连在废弃隐秘的蛛网上,貌似悬浮于空气中。背景新生的翠绿色混杂着枯叶腐败的气息,挽留或赞颂着新旧交替与并存的时刻,这唤醒了一个将时间拉平的新世界。枯叶悬浮卷曲的形态如同杂技演员或现代舞表演者,在空中做出各种惊人的动作,探索着身体和空间的关系。”
以此,我们可以想象吕松在目睹这一景观时的感受,便不难体会到他的创作动机。他描述了一个奇异的事物,新生的翠绿色与枯叶腐败的气息于其中交织,定格了新旧交替与并存的时刻。这不仅反映着自然界的循环与更替,也暗示了时间的流逝和生命的脆弱性,自然和时间在此合二为一。吕松将悬浮摇曳的枝叶喻为舞者,是要强调生命的活力与变化。对这种形态的探索象征着对身体和空间关系的探索,显示了生命在不断变化中寻找着平衡和和谐。在作品中,吕松意图展示一种超自然的现象,一种神秘力量,这无疑显示了他对自然界不可解之谜的好奇。其自述透露着他运用着想象力对自然现象进行着主观解读,将自然界的元素与人类行为相链接,从而创设出一个奇幻时空。
