Reflection
As I was visiting Richard Serra’s exhibition, I challenged myself to walk through the “Reverse Curve” while experimenting with the Yes/NO modify. I walked into the Reverse Curve twice. The first time allowing the installation to drive my direction unconsciously, and the second time, being aware of the external factors that drive my direction, I subconsciously said no to them and modified my own sense of direction. The first time saying yes to the installation, It felt really easy. Saying yes doesn’t require effort. Abiding by the rules and construct of the installation provides you comfort. And by saying yes allows you to experience what the artist wants you to see or feel. But also only what the artists wants you to see or feel. The second time walking through the installation, I felt more uneasy. First of all, because it required a bit more brainwork. To find ways to say no to the construction, the direction the installation is driving you towards. I tried to walk backward or sideways, jump or hop to break through the points of view, leading lines, the installation is driving me towards. Through that, I started to become a bit dizzy, since I am forcing my brain to walk towards something without a destination or by following a certain guideline. And to put the idea in a bigger concept, It felt like it is as though I couldn’t achieve anything without knowing an end goal. Or without following a direction.
