《始于这里》From the Point Things Began, 2024

对我来说,艺术不是一种爱好或消遣,而是我必须做的事情。我觉得我必须每天创作一些东西,以便感受到与自然界中的自我位置的平衡和一致。通过视觉手段解决问题,并与周围的人分享新想法,这给我带来了快乐和一种神圣感。
在追求当代艺术的过程中,我的主要研究兴趣之一是没有一种状态是真正永久的。每个时刻都是短暂的,每一秒钟只是浩瀚时间海洋中的一滴,这种事实在人类中创造出一种神秘的忧郁。我们所生活的世界处于不断的、无尽的变化之中,而我们都在其中随波逐流——这种变化带来了一种甜美的悲伤,令我们的心中充满奇妙的感受。它提升了我们对当下美的欣赏,因为我们知道这种美无法长久。
To me, art is not a hobby or a pastime—it is something that I have to do. I feel that I must work on creating something every day in order to feel balanced and aligned with my own place in the natural world. It brings me happiness and a sense of divinity to solve problems through visual means, and to create new ways to share ideas with those around me.
One of my primary research interests in the pursuit of contemporary art is the concept that no condition is truly permanent. The fact that each moment is fleeting, that each second is but only a drop in a vast ocean of time creates in human beings a mysterious melancholy. The very world we live in is in a constant, endless state of flux and we are all along for the ride—with this comes a sweet sadness, a wonder in our hearts. It heightens our appreciation of beauty in the moment, for we are aware that it cannot last.

劳拉·普罗奇洛是来自纽约市地区的多学科视觉艺术家。她的创作媒介多种多样并相互交融,包括但不限于雕塑、拼贴、摄影、数字设计、混合媒体、表演和实验电影。她目前的展览经历涵盖韩国、英国、冰岛、中国大陆和意大利等国家。
她的作品灵感源于时间的流动与忧郁,以及在我们世界周围的无常中寻求某种无限的追求。每一个在我们生活中流逝的难忘时刻,都带着一丝甜美的悲伤,因为我们意识到它无法长久。正是这种二元性最吸引她,在这种交汇点上,她的艺术灵感应运而生。
她目前的学历是视觉媒体研究的学士学位,毕业于美国的罗切斯特理工学院。视觉媒体包括广泛的研究领域,如摄影、平面设计、电影和声音设计、编辑、传统出版以及虚拟现实。她的研究还涉及气候发展、食品生产、废物管理、时间的无常性和现实的终极本质。
Laura Prochilo is a multidisciplinary visual artist from the New York City area. Mediums of work often vary and interplay, including but not limited to sculpture, collage, photography, digital design, mixed media, performance, and experimental film. Current exhibition experience spans countries such as South Korea, England, Iceland, mainland China, and Italy.
Their work is inspired by the flux and melancholy of time, and the quest for something infinite in the impermanence that surrounds our worlds. Each memorable moment that passes in our lives does so with a sweet sense of sadness, for we are aware that it can not last. It is this dichotomy that interests them the most, and in these crosshairs the inspiration for their art is born.
Current level of education is a Bachelor’s degree in the study of Visual Media. This was received from the Rochester Institute of Technology in the United States. Visual Media included a broad range of studies including photography, graphic design, film and sound design, editing, traditional publishing, as well as virtual reality. Research also continues in climate development, food production, waste management, time impermanence, and the ultimate nature of reality.
