奧黛麗·西門(Audrey Salmon)于1977年出生在法國里昂。

于2001年拿到里昂高等藝術高等學校的平面設計碩士學位之後，她就開始了她的創作生涯，而平面設計和攝影都是她的表達媒介。

2007年她參加了義大利設計品牌Moleskine為年輕藝術家舉辦的藝術創作比賽，並獲得了第三名。

比賽後為獲獎者的作品舉辦的“Invitation au Voyage”展覽使她有機會把她的創作帶到一些亞洲城市做巡展，其中包括香港、新加坡和台北。

自2005年起，她開始在北京生活和工作。

來到中國是一份令人難以置信的都市體驗，她對於這個城市的“歐洲”式的設想被一種全新的建築景觀打破和取代。

城市的景觀在 不停的改變，這便是她近期工作背後的靈感源泉。

在這裡，人們會感覺到永恒不斷的位移，因為“你幾乎永遠不知道身在何方，因為這裡所有的一切每天都在變化”。

攝影本身在追趕這種都市張力的能力上是存在限制的；而這個展覽旨在將這個奇特而迷人的宇宙的點滴重構和詮釋為圖像。

生物體本身的變化來自基因的突變，然而在過去幾十年的中國，因為劇烈的經濟與改革開放，中國的城市面貌也産生了倣彿基因突變的效果。

居民內心深處的慾望和危機感日以俱增，淵遠流長的文化傳統在城市建構參與者的眼中交替與淪陷。

奧黛麗·西門(Audrey Salmon)的 “建築突變”系列作品展現出一個旁觀者的記錄並觸動觀者的臆想。

在4月20日星期日的下午3點，在FakeSpace虛空間會舉辦一個抽獎活動，得獎者將可獲得藝術家本人簽名攝影作品一張。請有效填寫現場發送的表格，並放置在現場的抽獎箱，即可參與本次活動。

Audrey Salmon was born in 1977 in Lyon, France. After graduating from Lyon’s High Institute of Arts with a Master Degree in Graphic Design

2001, she has been engaged in her artistic production, which uses both graphic design and photography as a medium of expression.

In 2007, Audrey participated to Italian designer-stationery brand Moleskine’s competition for young artists, where she won the thirdprize.

This resulted in Audrey’s participation to « Invitation au Voyage», an itinerant exhibition which brought her work to a number of Asiancities, in cluding Hong Kong, Singapore and Taipei.

Since 2005 Audrey lives and works in Beijing. Her coming to China was a mind-boggling urban experience, as her ‘European’ vision of the city was shattered and replaced by a new kind of architectural landscape.

This was the source of inspiration behind her most recent work, which sees the urban landscape as an entity in perpetual mutation.

People experience a feeling of constant displacement, as ‘you almost never know where you are, just because from a day to another everything has changed’. Photography itself poses limits to the ability to catch that urban intensity; this exhibition, therefore, aims to recompose, and translate into images, the fragments of this strange and fascinating Universe.
