"Little Spies Spread Around the City" | Residency journal of Bárbara Sánchez-Kane

Описание: "I become like a plinth in a way... I drape with my body a lot."
In the practice of Bárbara Sánchez-Kane, clothing, sculpture, and research permeate one another, becoming different entry points to understanding power, rhythm, and flow. During his residency at CHERUBY in Shanghai, inspiration often emerged through movement and accident—classical gardens in Suzhou, bodily training at a circus school, tactile encounters in fabric markets, even a spider in the studio. Nearly every sensory encounter was transformed into a creative cue, subtly extending the trajectory of his thinking.
With this film, CHERUBY delves into the threads left behind by Sánchez-Kane during his residency in Shanghai. It is not a retrospective of finished works, but an observational practice that brings us closer to his modes of thinking and processes of becoming. Centered on his working state, the film captures those moments in which materials are tested, structures are overturned, and the body is continually negotiating with systems—moments still in formation.

"Bárbara Sánchez-Kane: Coro de Soles Menores" is commissioned by CHERUBY

“某种意义上，我自己成为了一个基座...我的身体不断地参与到对事物的悬垂中。”
在芭芭拉·桑切斯-凯恩的实践中，服装、雕塑与研究彼此渗透，成为理解他作品中权力、节奏与流动的不同入口。在上海CHERUBY驻留期间，他的灵感常常在移动和意外中发生——苏州的园林、马戏学校里的身体训练、面料市场的触感经验，乃至房间里一只蜘蛛的存在……几乎所有感官抵达之处都转化为创作线索，并在不经意间推动思考的延展。
CHERUBY 用这支影片潜入桑切斯-凯恩在上海驻地期间留下的线索，这并非是对其创作结果的回顾，而是一种贴近其思考方式与生成过程的观察实践。影片围绕他的工作状态展开，捕捉创作中那些材料被试探、结构被推翻、身体与系统不断协商的尚未成形的时刻。
