11071,9600114143公里 影像装置
德国Kempen 市的Von Behring 街11号和上海巨峰路1589弄210号 是我时间跨越了20年的两个住址。由这两点牵动的时空变迁在我的私人化经验里无异于几番改朝换代。
期间无数次的往返都无一例外的是在空中完成的,飞机的快速飞行和地球的自转作用造成的时差错乱给我带来诸多困扰也让我常常对时间和距离的确定性产生怀疑。
我在地球上找到了一条实在的地面路线连接这两个地点,让以家门为出发点所经过的每一个国家,每一个城镇,每一条街道都巨细无遗地包含在这条路线里 。它的长度是11071,9600114143公里。
线路确认后将地球的背景抹去,彻底消除误入歧途的可能性,这条真实的道路就转化成一条抽象而单纯的线条,它也因此变得除我之外与别人无关。
这条漫长的线条以影像的方式在一固定地点按照每小时120公里的速度从一端向另一端移动。双程并置。走完这条形式虚拟而又数据精确真实的道路需要的时间是92,258个小时 。

Germany, Kempen city, Von Behring Street No.11 and Shanghai, Jufeng Road 1589, House 210 are my two home addresses, which I crossed through in a time frame of 20 years. During these years my individual experience was tremendously enriched, being stretched between these 2 points.
In this time I travelled for- and backwards countless times – however not a single time differently than by air. The jet lag, created by the speed of the airplane and the self rotation of the earth, gave me quite a lot of trouble and often made me doubt the confirmation of time and distance.
I found a terrestial route on earth connecting the 2 addresses, starting point being my house gate door, passing through each country, each city, each single road, being part of this route. Its length is 11071,9600114143km.
After confirming the route line the surrounding background of the earth was erased, completely eliminating the possibility of getting lost on a wrong route. This real existing route line became an abstract and pure line - thus having no relevance for any other person apart from myself.
This long line was video installed at a fixed location and is moving from one end to the other end at a speed of 120 km per hour. Two ways combined. Completing this fictious route filled with detailed, true data will need about 92,258 hours time.
