“大荒之中，有山，名曰北极天柜，海水北注焉。有神，九首人面鸟身，名曰九凤。有无肠之国，食鱼。”                                           — 《大荒北经》

“人类普遍记载了那些自然界对人类非常有用，或使人类特别感兴趣的动植物变种，被某些学者成为物种。”                                 — 达尔文《物种起源》

   时间裹挟着过往成为历史，人类在世界的发展中不断找寻真相。当我们了解了基因的奥秘，惊喜于新物质的发现，享受于科技的进步的同时也仍然处于对未知和未来的不安和恐惧中。从原始人面对周遭环境，古代人类面对未知事物开始，这种不安与恐惧穿越几千年后依然存在。

   进化心理学认为人类所拥有的许多心理属性是在漫长的岁月中被选择出来的，而最早形成的一些行为还会在现在发挥着影响。 艺术家伍伟试图用带有触感欲望的作品激起观者最原始的感知力，对所在世界的警醒和洞察，对周遭事物的好奇和敏感，对自我的观照和觉察。皮毛、肌肤成为艺术家和观者贯穿远古和当下、以微见著的感知通道。

When we get to know the mistery of gene, be surprised of the findings of something new, or enjoy the new scientific technology, we also get anxiety and fear about the future. From primitive man, ancient people to us as present human being, the anxiety and fear last thousands of years.

By his works inviting a touching desire, artist Wu Wei seeks his way to provoke the most primitive perceptions of the viewers including the awakening to the present world, the curiosity to the surroundings and the awareness and reflection to oneself. Hair and skin serve as a path for artists and viewers to penetrate the ancient and present, and to perceive from small to big.
