    楊天( 1993年生于北京)是一位跨媒介艺术家,在装置、雕塑与诗性写作之间展开实践。他通过离心管、检测盒、铁、 木、铜等日常或工业材料,探讨制度、记忆与语言如何在物质中显形。创作灵感往往源自后疫情时代的经验与对传统金 属工艺的研究,在权力与身份、信仰与约束之间捕捉断裂的痕迹。他的装置与锻造作品,在质感与结构之间建构脆弱与 抵抗的共存关系。现生活与创作于巴黎、首尔与北京三地。

    Yang Tian (b. 1993, Beijing) is a multidisciplinary artist working across installation, sculpture, and poetic writing. His practice investigates how systems of control, memory, and language manifest in physical form —through humble, clinical, or industrial materials such as centrifuge tubes, iron, wood, and brass. Often drawing from post-pandemic experiences and research into traditional metal techniques, his works quietly trace the fractures between power and identity, belief and constraint. Rooted in both conceptual clarity and material intimacy, his installations and forged

    pieces unfold at the intersection of fragility and resistance. Yang lives and works between Paris, Seoul, and Beijing.

    该系列延续“ ⾃然變形” 中对⾃然与⼈⼯关系的探索。蘑菇帽以铜塑形,茎由钢构成,体现⾃然与⼯业的对⽐。蘑菇虽短暂,却⽤耐久⾦属凝固其脆弱。作为⽣态系统中重要但常被忽视的存在,它们象征隐秘的社会⽹络与边缘群体的力量。此系列反复呼应⽣命的易逝与永恒。

    This series continues my exploration of the relationship between nature and artificiality started in the Organic Metamorphosis series. Copper caps and stainless steel stems contrast the organic and industrial. Mushrooms, while ephemeral, are crystallized in enduring metal. As vital yet overlooked organisms in ecosystems, they symbolize hidden social networks and the resilience of marginalized communities, echoing the interplay between transience and permanence in life.
