all is good
2025
这些由铝板印刷，经过裁切、雕刻、折叠而成的立体图像，部分来源于艺术家对树阵“潜意识”的想象：在一切都井然有序的人造景观之中，它梦到自己置身原始森林，与密林中的植被为伴，感受着季节的流转。另一部分则取材自卡尔维诺小说《树上的男爵》中的提及的动物形象。故事主人公柯希莫·皮奥瓦斯科自十二岁起栖居于树上，一生没有回到地面，带着对于当时贵族阶级的反判，远离人类建立的地面文明，在树上找到了自己的归属。
在《所有美好》中，艺术家将两种叙事中的森林生态叠加在这片现实的树阵之中，以折叠图像依附在针栎的枝干，随四季的变化显露与隐藏，回应一种在此处缺席的美好。
"All the Good " is part of BY ART MATTERS Tianmuli Art Museum's 2025-2026 public art project, consisting of 14 works distributed in the tree array in front of the museum. Artist Tan Yingjie imagined a forest transplanted from afar, using image sculptures as a medium to supplement it with animal and plant companions that should coexist in the real natural ecology.
These three-dimensional images, printed on aluminum plates, cut, carved, and folded, are partly derived from the artist's "subconscious" imagination of the tree array: in the man-made landscape where everything is in order, it dreams of being in a primeval forest, accompanied by vegetation in the dense forest, and feeling the flow of seasons. The other part is taken from the animal images mentioned in Calvino's novel "The Baron in the Trees". The protagonist of the story, Cosimo Piovasco, has lived in the tree since he was twelve years old and has never returned to the ground. With his rebellion against the aristocracy at the time, he stayed away from the ground civilization established by humans and found his own belonging in the tree.
In "All the Good Things", the artist superimposed the forest ecology in the two narratives on this real tree array, with folded images attached to the branches of the pin oak, which appear and hide with the changes of the four seasons, responding to a kind of beauty that is absent here.
