绍兴柯桥旁的秦望山是秦始皇最后一次巡游天下的望海处。之后，皇帝在返回帝都咸阳的途中突然去世，留下了短命的秦王朝。尽管如此，中央王朝的帝国形态还是延续到了两千年以后的清末，直到在鉴湖女侠秋瑾的起义中走向瓦解。作为祖籍绍兴的艺术家，耶苏本名张帆，在绍兴度过童年时代。本次展览所呈现作品主要取自艺术家长期以来对秦始皇生平及其神秘地宫的想象——CILING系列作品。借助鉴空间特殊的江南民居布局，各组视觉作品以移步异景的方式穿插于展厅中，不时营造出对偶的叙事体验，而空间在这里转化成提供智性阅读的三维“出版物”。

随着技术的发展，当代图像媒介最终获得了形式上的自由。但图像本身的镜像惰性，在智能时代进一步增强了消解现实的作用。耶苏在本次展览中借用Ai制图，棋牌设计，纹样设计等形式，尝试构造出一些由权力叙事与个体想象混合而成的图像野史。历史意识总是想勾画未来，而现实却是当下的，充满转机。秦丞相李斯曾在绍兴秦望山刻“李斯碑”，用小篆统一了文字法度，不过中国各地的方言却能始终保持多样性。本次展览的题目“念达搞来”便来自绍兴话的音译，是“归根到底”，“最终”的意思。这个词表现了一种在绍兴地域才有的，非常接地气的幽默与自信。毛泽东曾在苏联留学生前演讲：“世界是我们的，也是你们的。归根到底（念达搞来），是你们的。”

 

Beside Keqiao in Shaoxing stands Qinwang Mountain, traditionally regarded as the place where the Qin Shi Huang(First Emperor of China) made his final survey of the seas during his last imperial tour. Shortly afterward, on the return journey to the capital Xianyang, the emperor died unexpectedly, leaving behind a short-lived Qin dynasty. Even so, the imperial structure of a centralized monarchy persisted in China for another two millennia, until it began to unravel during the late Qing dynasty—most notably with the uprising led by Qiu Jin, the heroine of Shao Xing.As an artist whose ancestral home is Shao xing,Ye Su, birth name Zhang Fan—spent his childhood in this region. Most of the works presented in this exhibition are drawn from his long-standing imaginative exploration of Qin Shi Huang’s life and the mysteries of subterranean tomb—CILING series. Making use of the distinctive layout of Jiangnan residential architecture in Mirror Space, the visual works are interspersed throughout the galleries in a sequence of shifting scenes, creating moments of paired, echoing narratives. Here, architectural space is transformed into a three-dimensional “publication” that invites intellectual reading.

With technological advancement, contemporary image media have finally gained formal freedom. Yet in the age of artificial intelligence, the mirror-like inertia of images has only intensified their ability to dissolve reality. In this exhibition, Ye Su employs AI-generated imagery, board-game design, pattern design, and other formats to construct a kind of visual ‘unofficial history,’ blending narratives of power with the artist’s personal imagination. Historical consciousness always seeks to sketch the future, while reality itself remains rooted in the present—uncertain and full of turning points.Li Si, Chancellor of Qin Dynasty once carved the “Li Si Stele” on Qinwang Mountain in Shaoxing, using lesser seal character (Xiao Zhuan) to standardize written language; yet spoken dialects across China have managed to preserve their diversity. The exhibition title, Nian Da Gao Lai, is a phonetic rendering of a Shaoxing dialect expression meaning “after all” or “at last” The phrase embodies a uniquely local sense of grounded humor and confidence. Mao Zedong once remarked in a speech to Chinese students studying in the Soviet Union: “The world is ours, and it is also yours. After all (Nian Da Gao Lai), it belongs to you.”
