ARTISTS BIOGRAPHY 參展藝術家簡介
Alexandra & Serge Siro
We are Alexandra and Serge, an IT girl and a photographer (that’s why often behind a camera). Before corona came, we used to travel quite a lot and have posted our travel pictures.. But now the times are different, for all of us..
A year ago, locked down in four walls with more spare time as usual, we began to create our tiny series #seeroads_homeadventures, and then stopmotions and other video magic . It brings us a lot of fun and experience, despite it takes hours or sometimes even days to achieve the good result.
我們是Alexandra和Serge，分別是一個做IT的女孩和一個攝影師（這就是我們經常在相機後面的原因）。在疫情來襲之前，我們經常去旅行，所以在我們一般都會上載有關旅行的相片。但是現在對於我們所有人來說，時代已經不一樣了。
過去一年，我們就像被困在四堵牆裡。因為時間多了，我們開始在製作#seeroads_homeadventures 系列，定格動畫和其他視頻。儘管需要數小時甚至數天才能完成作品，但這一切給我們很多樂趣和經驗。

Salvador Dali
Salvador Dalí, (1904-1989), Spanish Surrealist painter and printmaker, influential for his explorations of subconscious imagery.
Dalí is an artist with extraordinary talent and imagination. He presents his paintings in a “paranoid critical way”. He often juxtaposes things illogically in the paintings, adding or replacing the absurdity and weirdness of his inner world into or replacing the external objectivity. The world reflects the subconscious in the way of decomposition, synthesis, overlap and interlacing.
His works of art are famous for exploring the weird dreams of the subconscious, and are closely related to Freud’s psychoanalysis. He captures the madness of the human mind and is an artist with extraordinary talent and imagination.
Salvador Dalí，（1904-1989），西班牙超現實主義畫家和版畫家，作品以探索潛意識的意象著稱。
達利是一位具有非凡才能和想像力的藝術家，以一種「偏執狂的批判方式」來呈現畫面，他常於畫面中不合邏輯地並列事物，將自己內心世界的荒誕、怪異加入或替代外在的客觀世界，以分解、綜合、重疊和交錯的方式，來反映潛意識。
他的藝術作品以探索潛意識的怪異夢境而出名，和佛洛伊德的精神分析學有著密切關係。Dalí 的作品捕捉人類心靈深處的瘋狂，是一位具有非凡才能和想像力的藝術家。然而，他能擁有如此巨大的成就，除了他的瘋狂創作之外，也離不開他怪誕的個性和行為。
