Under Cypress

2023

Jo Malone 委約作品 《柏樹之下》是一個多感官的藝術裝置,由一首 88 字的詩、柏樹模擬程式、4 x 2.5米 LED屏幕、鋼琴雕塑及大量柏樹葉組成。 作品藉電子式重組柏樹,讓觀眾置身於沒有柏樹的未來,體驗人類只能倚靠零碎片段去回憶大自然。這種提煉和重組,零感來自香薰的製作方法。

Under Cypress is a new chapter in the Stone Piano narrative. The series furthers Henry Chu’s previous 2022 work Stone Piano: Under Pine.

In the Stone Piano series, the keyboard is separated from its body in a sculptural design collaboration with Hong Kong-based design duo Batten & Kamp. The separation announces new modular possibilities for artist Henry Chu, liberating sculptural materiality from visual theatre.

Chu describes Under Cypress as a journey both of inspiration and of self-discovery, abandoning boundaries and forming bridges of creativity. In this video odyssey, digital art recreates nature, offering surrogate external landscapes in moving image form. Taking its title from the cypress tree, buoyed and swayed by the winds, the artist imagines unchartered journeys and adventures unfolding beneath evergreen whispers. The immersive forest of sound and colour acts as a storybook embrace and distracting decoy away from the noisy stimulus of Hong Kong city life.
