尽可能生存的快乐,是生命的本能追求。再复杂衍生的观念、行为,或都是以它为原始出发点的。当现象应接不暇、观念光怪陆离时,反复的折回原点,更容易让人清醒,即使只是片刻。
曾浩身处瞬息万变的“中国”这个大现场中,像渺小的微尘般浮游。对过去的回忆、对未来的假想,夹杂着对当下的体验,成为痛并快乐、难以言说的乱流。从自身出发,他反刍这种痛并快乐的滋味,并进行自由且理性的分析。
从求生存、求快乐出发,他关注这个本能追求遭遇中国现场时的境遇,以及未来的可能性。两极差距过大是基本事实,但不安全感是整体性的;及时享乐是大多数人的选择,但对不远的未来,谁都没有把握……幻想是人最自由的权利,它柔软的自由生长和变化,但现实处境却是坚硬的。
曾浩用大体量的气囊,承载当下的图景和对未来的幻想的勾画。人可以终生持续幻想,曾浩用具体可视的作品给观者提供触媒。至于幻想和现实之间的差别,就在这里,就在眼前。

On-going Free association
Du Xiyun
Being as happy as you can be, this is the instinctive goal of life.Everything is based on it no matter how many complex and derivativeviews and performs there are . When you are walking on a dreamlandthat full of flying ideas and phenomenological Memento, even sometimestempting thoughts, only this idea can wake you up and take you back theoriginal thoughts--being as happy as you can be, although sometimes justone second, that is enough for now.Metaphorically speaking, Zenghao believes that he is like one swimming fish in the middle of no where in a huge ocean which represents Chinese contermpary art. From the past till the present,the growing complex
feeling and understanding of his past and future has been developed into a feeling that shows painfulness and happiness in the same time, he has been forced to take them all back in his own world and re-examine and analysis them in his very own free association methodology.
Speaking of which,surviving in this world (painfulness) and being as
happy as you can be (happiness) becoming his instinct pursuit to the scenery of Chinese contermpary art and the possibility of the future,he has realized the insecurity is overlapping and interacting of all. For most of people maybe seeking happiness is their primary goal of life ,but nobody knows what will happen in the future and predict it. Maybe the only way of cherishing this beautiful free association method, is to see and undertstand what the reality is.
The appearance of the gasbag represents Zeng’s conscious sketch of reality and future, it also revels Zeng’s un-conscious answer of the difference between reality and fantasy, it is that where you can see and being seen.
