"The aim of the cinematic is to create an engagement with narrative, is to draw the viewer in, so they lose time,finding themselves inside the story. I thought, if I extend the notion of reflectivity that plays out in my films and apply it to sculpture, the viewer becomes the subject. The mirrored sculptures enact an economy whereby the intermediary is taken out of the equation and the viewer becomes the film."
——— 道格.阿特肯
道格.阿特肯以其創新的藝術裝置而聞名,利用各種各樣的藝術手法,引領我們進入一個時間,空間和記憶是流動概念的世界。在阿特肯的藝術實踐中,通過對二十一世紀城市,當代生活全球化交流的不斷調查,發展並探索了對圖像和敘事的理解。從大型看板,特定的場域環境,音響作品,攝影,雕塑和浸入式的視頻裝置中,阿特肯探究了在大規模工業和環境變化的時代背景下,圖像的時空錯位以及個體的脆弱性。
