周而复始的文化连接A full circle of cultural connectivity
Hans-Petter Bjørnådal以“Il primo
cerchio del paradiso”为主题,追溯了他的家乡挪威与威尼斯之间的文化联系,这段历史可以追溯到1432年,当时北海风暴改变了一艘启航前往荷兰的威尼斯商船的航程。在挪威海岸附近的一个小岛上避难后,这艘船的船长沉迷于一个他称之为“天堂第一环”的文化和地理奇观。
With ‘Il primo cerchio del paradiso’,
Hans-Petter Bjørnådal retraces the cultural connections between his native
Norway and Venice dating back to 1432, when a North Sea storm altered the
voyage of a Venetian merchant ship that had set sail for the Netherlands. After
finding refuge on a small island off the Norwegian coast, the ship’s captain
indulged in the cultural and geographic wonder of a place he would characterize
as “Paradise's first circle”.
原产挪威的鳕鱼干在威尼斯开辟了一个接受度较高的市场,渔业贸易成为两国之间文化联系的主要内容。通过探索挪威与外界的交流,“Il primo cerchio del paradiso”是Bjørnådal对过去和现在的文化联结的展示,重点强调了当前亟待解决的问题,如气候变化,环境意识等,以及展现回归简单的生活方式的优点。“项目展现了挪威人对简单的生活方式的态度,也反映了我们目前为应对气候变化需要转变的方向和意识。”工作室的首席建筑师Hans-Petter Bjørnådal解释道。“所传达的信息本质上是,与自然和谐相处的简单生活仍然是通往天堂的可行之道。”
As dried Norwegian cod found a receptive
market in Venice, the fishing trade became a staple of cultural connectivity
between the two countries. By exploring Norway’s communication with the outside
world, ‘Il primo cerchio del paradiso’ is Bjørnådal’s interpretation of those connections,
both past and present, with a strong emphasis on current issues such as climate
change, environmental consciousness, and the merits of returning to a simpler
way of life. “The project is a Norwegian gesture of
simple living, but also a reflection of our current need for a shift in
direction and consciousness in order to address climate change,” explains
Hans-Petter Bjørnådal, Lead Architect of the firm bearing his name. “The
essence of the message is that a simple life, in harmony with nature, is still
a viable path to discovering paradise.”
同根相连The ties that bind
在展览“时与空的存在”主题的广泛背景下,Bjørnådal对从前由渔业贸易建立的联系的自然简单性进行诠释。他的作品是将挪威用于干燥鱼类的两种传统工艺的艺术融合,也出于向用木船在两国之间航行的人致敬,作品令人想起早期的贸易船。装置由松木和钢丝构成,高5米,宽2.9米,融合了北欧建筑传统的自由六边形几何形状,以简洁的形式诠释了近600年的连通性。
Within the broad context of the
exhibition’s “Time Space Existence” theme, Bjørnådal embarked on his
interpretation of the natural simplicity of connections established long ago by
the fish trade. His work is an artistic blend of two traditional methods
employed for drying fish in Norway, as well as a tribute to the men who set
sail between the two nations in the form of a wooden hull, reminiscent of early
trade ships. Constructed of pine and steel wires, and measuring 5m high and
2.9m wide, the work incorporates the free hexagon geometry of Nordic building
traditions in interpreting nearly 600 years of connectivity in a simplistic
form.
“捕鱼业作为挪威人和威尼斯人之间文化联系的基础,已经持续了几个世纪,它基于与我们的自然环境的简单联系,”他解释道。“威尼斯的每家餐馆都有干鳕鱼或鳕鱼的菜谱,威尼斯焗烤鱼配通心粉也同样传回挪威,并成为国民性美食。”
“The fishing trade has endured for
centuries as a foundation of cultural connectivity between Norwegians and
Venetians, and it is based on a very simple connection to our natural
environment,” he explains. “Every restaurant in Venice has a recipe for dry
cod, or clipfish, and Venetian recipes for gratinated fish with macaroni have
been repatriated to Norway and have become national dishes.”
可持续发展的重点A sustainable emphasis
为了进一步强调Hans-Petter Bjørnådal对提高环保意识的情感,他与Rebiennale事务所密切合作,采购必要的材料来建造“Il primo cerchio del paradiso”。Rebiennale是一个合作项目,由威尼斯公民,学生,建筑师,艺术家和政治活动家共同完成,他们交流思想、方案和技能,使用来自威尼斯双年展过去迭代的回收材料来构建创意作品。
To further emphasize Hans-Petter
Bjørnådal’s sentiments toward greater environmental awareness, he worked
closely with a firm called Rebiennale to procure the necessary materials for
building ‘Il primo cerchio del paradiso’. Rebiennale is a
collaborative project comprising a network of Venetian citizens, students,
architects, artists, and political activists who exchange ideas, methods, and
skills to build creative works using recycled materials derived from past
iterations of the Venice Biennale Exhibition.

“我在威尼斯花了10天时间与团队一起制作成品,但由于去年活动推迟,该项目已经进行了两年,”Bjørnådal说。“看到它最终跻身世界上最负盛名的文化活动之一,这是一种美妙的感受。”
“We spent 10 days in Venice erecting the
finished product with my team, but this project is two years in the making due
to the event’s postponement last year,” says Bjørnådal. “It is a wonderful
feeling to see it finally displayed as part of one of the most prestigious
cultural events in the world.”
