站在此作前，你会看见自己的倒影在镜面布料上起伏荡漾。隐藏在后的预设动力系统会在布料表面激起涟漪，并向下散发光芒，形成群山的剪影，产生神秘莫测、充满电影感和节奏感的效果。郭城编排了这出诗意舞蹈，呈现日常生活中无所不在的电磁波，这些电磁波来自多种源头，包括光、红外线、无线电波、无线网络和蓝牙讯号。透过融合山水的视觉元素和讯号的概念，郭城指出科技基础建设乃深植于自然环境之中，而我们的形象和感知，亦因科技的传播而不断被重塑。

Commissioned by M+ Museum
Standing in front of this work, you find your reflection undulating on its mirrored fabric.A hidden pre-programmed kinetic system triggers ripples on the fabric surface and emits downward light in the silhouette of mountains, creating an enigmatic, cinematic, and rhythmic effect. Guo Cheng choreographed this poetic dance to represent electromagnetic waves prevalent in everyday life from a variety of sources ranging from light, infrared rays, and radio waves to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals. He interweaves the visual elements of landscape and the idea of signals to point out how technological infrastructure is rooted in nature, and how our image and perception are constantly reshaped by the circulation of technology.

M+美术馆
2024
专题展览“山鸣水应”展出选自M+藏品系列的作品，探讨在后工业时代愈发走向虚拟的世界中，山水与人类的复杂联系。山水是中国哲学和诗学中不可或缺的文化元素，启发了东亚千年的水墨传统。作为万物感应的体现，山水演绎出感官与想像、瞬息与永恒之间的微妙共感，更是了解人与自然的关系的重要概念。
除了水墨画，此展览还展出雕塑、流动影像、声音、设计及建筑等领域的作品，重新想像山水的概念，寻觅启发及回响。
Shanshui: Echoes and Signals
M+ Museum
2024
Shanshui: Echoes and Signals is a thematic exhibition of works drawn from the M+ Collections that explores the complex connections between landscape and humanity in our post-industrial and increasingly virtual world. Shanshui (‘mountain and water’) is a cultural legacy integral to Chinese philosophical thinking and poetic imagination, and motivates a millennium-old tradition of ink painting across East Asia. Although commonly translated as ‘landscape’, shanshui can take us far beyond observable reality. It manifests invisible resonances—between stillness and motion, vision and imagination, the fleeting immediacy of experience and the persistence of history and memory.
The exhibition reimagines shanshui through sculpture, moving image, sound, design and architecture, and ink painting, searching for signals across contemporary mediums.
