如何安全拓宽宇宙视野？

玩具回春堂

我们每天都在使用各种物品，却很少思考它们的名字是谁起的、功能是谁决定的。那如果有一天，我们突然忘记了这些词汇，会发生什么？我们是否会重新发现这个世界的可能性？

在这个富有诗意的演讲中，“玩具回春堂”的两位艺术家将带我们跳出熟悉的认知框架，重新理解我们日常所依赖的物品。他们用艺术让那些被丢弃或忽略的事物重新获得意义，也邀请我们一起重新凝视这个世界。

玩具回春堂是由艺术家一木与林坚硬组成的创作组合，致力于将遗落之物重新唤回人类社会。他们擅长用装置、绘画、影像与概念玩具等形式，为梦境、记忆、情绪与物件赋予新的生命。他们的作品既温柔又富有哲思，引导我们重新思考人与物、个体与时代之间的关系。

林坚硬以独立漫画创作起步，擅长用幽默与夸张手法解析社会结构，而一木则以装置与诗意语言探寻人类情感与宇宙之间的连结。他们的合作跨越媒介，也跨越认知的边界。

How can we safely broaden view of world?

Toy Resurrection Clinic

We live surrounded by objects, yet we almost never question what they’re called—or why they exist the way they do. But imagine if we suddenly forgot all those labels. Would we see the world differently?

In this whimsical and thoughtful talk, the creative duo behind Toy Resurrection Clinic invites us to look again at the things we think we know. Through their work, they breathe new life into forgotten items and offer us fresh perspectives on the ordinary.

Toy Resurrection Clinic is the collaborative project of artists Yimu and Lin Jianying. Together, they specialize in reviving lost, broken, or overlooked things—whether physical objects, emotions, or stories—through installations, drawings, conceptual toys, and videos. Their work is both playful and profound, rooted in memory and emotion, and always reaching toward a deeper understanding of our connection to the world.

Lin Jianying began with independent comics, using sharp humor and storytelling to explore social themes. Yimu works across installation, sculpture, and poetry, crafting deeply felt pieces that connect the personal to the cosmic. Together, they create art that challenges how we define usefulness, value, and meaning.
