Pulse

This installation honors the memory of Ling Pui Sze‘s late grandparents. In her recent practice, she primarily uses microscopic cell images as her material. This installation marks her first attempt to explore incorporating text from personal correspondence into her signature ink collages. These letters hold precious memories filled with unspoken feelings of intimacy and support that she deeply cherishes and misses.

The installation features suspended loops imitating cardiac pulses, reminiscent of a heartbeat monitor from Ling’s time caring for her grandparents during hospital visits. She turns these rhythmic pulses into ascending and descending flows, unlocking the portal in-between life and death, while making the intergenerational bonds visible. The textual paper collage morphs into hidden messages, offering a lasting tribute to her grandparents’ legacy. Each loop serves as a vessel of intersection reaching beyond time and space, attuning to an embodied intelligence passed down through generations. Through this work, Ling seeks to transform personal grief and significant memories into a quiet awakening of self, reminding us of the subtle ways intergenerational connections shape who we are and ripple through our lives.

這個裝置作品承載着凌佩詩對祖父母的深切追憶。她的近作多以顯微細胞影像為素材，而此作則首次將私人書信的文字融入她標誌性的水墨拼貼。這些信件蘊藏珍貴記憶，滿溢未言的親密與扶持，是她深深珍惜及懷念的情感印記。

裝置以懸浮的環狀結構模擬心臟的脈動，恍如藝術家在醫院探望祖父母時所觀察到的心電圖儀器律動。她將這些節奏化為起伏的流線，開啟生死間的隱秘之門，並形塑一種跨世代的紐帶。拼貼的文字化作隱密的訊息，成為對祖輩遺澤的永誌。各個迴圈超越時空交錯，調和着代代相傳的睿智。藝術家藉此作試圖將悲傷與記憶轉化為靜謐的自我覺醒，提醒我們那些跨世代的微妙聯繫，如何塑造我們的存在，並在個體之間漣漪不息。
