The Wanderer Chapter Ⅲ ：Chants of the Unanchored
When physical spaces undergo drastic shifts and torrents of information rush in, "whereabouts unknown" is no longer confined to the suspended meaning of external objects; it quietly internalizes into a drifting state of the individual spirit.
The act of wandering deepens here, transitioning from outward observation toinward exploration and self-establishment. As the independent exhibition unit of this exhibition, Chants of the Unanchoredpresents Memory Drift, a series of works by artist Zhiwei Bai spanning over adecade. Continuing his consistent fieldwork-based creative approach, theartist engages in site-specific practice in Shenzhen. He focuses on his family's business experiences with the Buji agricultural market and container transport
in the 1990s, exploring the state of objects and sites detached from their original contexts, and how technology intervenes to reconstruct these fading everyday memories. Through this artistic practice, Zhiwei Bai allows these unanchored objects, supported by media, to become coordinates reflecting the individual'sspiritual state. Ultimately, within the continuous intertwining and reconstruction of objects and the self, the drifting perception breaks free from disorder, establishing a brand-new internal order.
行方不明 第三单元：无序者的吟唱
当物理空间急剧变化、信息洪流扑面而来时，“行方不明”便不再局限于外部事物意义的悬置，而是悄然内化为个体精神与记忆的漂移状态。漫游这一行动，也在此刻由向外观察，深潜至向内的自我探寻与确立。
作为本次展览的独立装置单元，「无序者的吟唱」篇章呈现了艺术家柏志威创作十余年的系列作品《Memory Drift》。艺术家延续一贯基于田野调查的创作路径，以深圳这座城市进行在地创作。他聚焦 90 年代布吉农贸市场与集装箱运输的家族生意经历，探讨物件与场域脱离原有语境后的状态，以及技术如何介入并重构这些消逝的日常记忆。
在此艺术实践过程中，柏志威让那些脱轨的游离之物，在媒介的支撑下转变为映射个体精神状态的坐标。最终，在事物与自我的不断交织与重构中，漂移的感知挣脱了无序，确立起一种全新的内在秩序。
