A work by Ni Jun at ‘DIAL ‘62761232’.
《快遞展》中倪俊的參展作品。藝術家自述:
“我按照標准的中國公民死亡證明書的格式，制作了一張我自己的死亡證明。死亡對於每個活著的人都有著各自不同的理解和定義。但對於大多數人而言死亡即意味著失去一切，意味著和現有的世界隔絕，對於死亡的恐懼可以說超過了任何一種人類所具有的感受。但死亡是真實的存在，是我們必須要面對的未來或現在。我只是想通過向別人展示一張死亡證明，一個真實的人的'真實的死亡'，能夠在他們心理上產生的瞬間反映，在這個層面上真實還是虛構的死亡已變得不再重要，重要的是死亡是屬於每一個人的，是唯一真實的。因此我要求快遞對每一個觀眾的任何提問都回答'是的'。”
Dial 62761232 was the name of an express delivery company that worked with a group of Shanghai-based artists to bring the exhibition to the homes of audience members. The delivery company assigned 15 couriers to the task, who were trained at the BizArt Center. Each courier was given a suicase with a number of works by the artists. Each of the 15 suitcases contained the same works, and each participating artist was identified by name. When a courier delivered the exhibition via suitcase, the viewer would have to choose number in order to see the works.
