在制鞋流水线中,荧光剂被广泛用于标记劳动的关键步骤和位置。这些痕迹在肉眼下不可见,仅在荧光灯的照射下才会显现。艺术家将这种隐形劳动的标记方式转化至美术馆场域,用以记录展览生成过程中幕后参与者以及布展工人 (其实也是鞋厂工人)的身体介入与劳动轨迹。观众手持手电筒,再次踱步于美术馆中的观展路径,重新审视他们无意间穿越的这件浸透劳动痕迹的作品,而其他作品之间的关系也因劳动痕迹的显露随之改变。
In the shoe production assembly line, fluorescent agents are widely used to mark key steps and positions in the labor process. These traces are invisible to the naked eye and only become visible under UV light. The artist transposes this method of marking invisible labor into the context of the art museum, using it to document the bodily involvement and labor trajectories of behind-the-scenes participants during the exhibition’s creation.
Visitors holding flashlights, retrace their steps along the exhibition route—unknowingly revisiting a work imbued with traces of labor. As these hidden marks are revealed, the relationships between the exhibited works shift as well, reconfigured through the visibility of labor.
