"一个自我的话题，两面性，白日与暗夜下自我的对话，救赎与被救赎。"
在孙珂的作品中，欲望被呈现为一种凶猛到几乎触手可及的力量，而力量必然伴随着痛苦的倾泻。
All things are in a state of absolute motion, where movement leads to collision, and thus force. Consequently, invisible sound waves ripple outward from the object itself.

“一个自我的话题，两面性，白日与暗夜下自我的对话，救赎与被救赎。”
"A personal theme, duality, dialogues between day and night, redemption and being redeemed."

切割般整齐的身体边缘向中心突起或凹陷，引力在此身体剧场中强大而难以抵抗。肉体和欲望之痛从来都不是静态的，而是随时间一起流淌变形。在充满紧张气息的舞台上，形象和场景正酝酿着随时爆发的能量。
Precisely cut edges of bodies protrude or recede towards the center, where gravity exerts a powerful, irresistible pull. The pain of flesh and desire is never static but flows and morphs with time. On this tension-filled stage, figures and scenes brew with an energy ready to erupt at any moment.

“欲望、幻痛、臆想、迷幻等等感受，是随时随刻伴随着自己，只是在特定的时刻由某一事件诱发而出。”
"Desires, phantom pains, illusions, hallucinations are always with me, triggered by specific events."

面对麻木的身体，疼痛是一剂解药。那是修女特蕾莎梦中的金箭，刺瞎参孙眼睛的长矛。疼痛也是危险的诱惑：它将我们从能指之链中暂时断开，以崇高的超验作为承诺。
Pain is an antidote when faced with a numb body. It is akin to the golden arrow in Teresa's dream or the spear that blinded Samson. Pain is also a perilous temptation: it temporarily disconnects us from the signifier chain, promising sublime transcendence.

Q：这次展览展出了你不同阶段的作品，最新的作品画面的内容更少更精简了，现在更多的重心在“表达准确”上吗？
A：不同阶段的心境自然不同，画面内容变少或精简，是在前期作品画面的相比之下，并且是在个人整体脉络下的“迭代过渡”，是在为下一阶段创作做尝试和准备，就像登上舞台前整理衣装细节的那一刻。
Q: This exhibition displays your works from different stages. The latest pieces are more minimalist, focusing more on "precise expression"?
A: Different emotional stages naturally lead to changes in artistic expression. The reduction or simplification of elements in my recent works is an "iterative transition" within my personal trajectory, preparing for the next creative phase, akin to fine-tuning costume details before stepping onto the stage.

Q：可以透露一下后面创作的方向吗？
A：接下来我更专注要做的不是具体的某一个方向或系列，计划完成两个架上作品的项目，把作品围绕在一个词语范畴或要探讨的一个问题（疑惑）内，每件作品独立存在，又牵扯在范畴或疑惑之中，也可理解为答疑解惑。
Q: Can you share the direction of your future creations?
A: My focus is not on a specific direction or series, but on completing two easel projects. Each work will revolve around a concept or question, existing independently yet tied to the central theme, serving as both inquiry and resolution.

Q：你的《不可预知的必然》和《沉没的方舟》两幅作品很有舞台感和戏剧张力，这些冲突来自于哪里？
A：戏剧化的表达呈现舞台感的画面，一个自我的话题，两面性，白日与暗夜下自我的对话，救赎与被救赎。“故事是生活的比喻，活着就是置身于看似永恒的冲突之中。”
Q: Your works An unpredictable necessity and Sunken ark exude a strong sense of stage and dramatic tension. What's the source of these conflicts?
A: The theatrical expression creates a sense of stage, addressing a personal theme of duality, dialogues between light and darkness, redemption, and being redeemed. "Life is a metaphor for stories, living amidst seemingly eternal conflicts."

Q：如何看待肉身？或者说如何看待灵魂和肉体的关系？
A：“是身如梦，为虚妄见”。
“是身如幻，从颠倒起”。
Q: How do you view the body, or the relationship between soul and body?
A: "The body is like a dream, an illusion."
"The body is an illusion, born from confusion."

Q：可以聊聊这次展览《灵体》系列作品中的欲望疼痛的张力相比之前更隐晦也十分凶猛。
A：《灵体》是把肉体的局部放大，回避或说是抹杀掉人物身份特征，从个性特征向同性特征的转化，在普遍的同性中表现欲望，要比在个性特征下来的隐晦，但也更趋同和接纳，感受到的“凶猛”便是这种强烈地认同感。
Q: The Soul Body series in this exhibition shows more subtle yet intense tension in desire and pain compared to previous works.
A: The Soul Body magnifies parts of the body, avoiding or erasing identity features, shifting from individual to generic traits. By expressing desire in genericity, it's more subtle yet universally relatable, and the perceived 'ferocity' is this strong sense of identification.

Q：会为了创作向自身深挖吗？寻找欲望、幻痛和残酷。
A：我会回避为了创作而刻意自身深挖，这一刻意行为未必会帮助自己的创作，反而会被其反噬。不过欲望、幻痛、臆想、迷幻等等感受，是随时随刻伴随着自己，只是在特定的时刻由某一事件诱发而出。这些隐晦的感受是最自我和私密的，也是共同的，尽而创作出的诗歌、绘画、音乐、电影和小说都会引起他人同感，并会长舒一口气，原来我不是唯一感受者。
Q: Do you delve deep into yourself for creation, exploring desire, phantom pain, and cruelty?
A: I avoid deliberately digging deep into myself for creation, as this forced action might not aid my art but backfire. However, feelings like desire, phantom pain, illusion, and hallucination are always with me, triggered by specific events. These elusive feelings are both deeply personal and universal, inspiring art, music, movies, and novels that resonate with others, offering relief in shared experience.

Q：你在生活里更多的是一个看客的角色存在于人间吗？
A：这是确定的，但也是片面的。看客何尝不是他人剧场中的角色，是主导者同时也是参与者。
Q: In life, do you often find yourself an observer, existing among people?
A: Definitely, but that's only one aspect. An observer is also a character in others' dramas, both a leader and a participant.

Q：会介意有声音说你某个时期的作品像培根或者像达利这种风格偏向于一个具体的艺术史上的艺术家吗？
A：不介意，或说介意无用。但自己要注意在摄取营养的同时避免趋同，营养过剩，明晰自己创作的长时间线，保持清醒。
Q: Do you mind if some say your work resembles the style of artists like Francis Bacon or Salvador Dali?
A: I don't mind, as worrying is futile. However, I must be careful to absorb influences without becoming too similar or excessive, maintaining clarity in my long-term creative journey and staying alert.
