Fotografiska 作為國際當代影像藝術中心，始終致力于向公眾呈現世界級大師杰作的同時，高度聚焦本土先鋒影像藝術的獨特表達。

值2025年開篇之際，我們將推出本土新銳藝術家項目——1月17日，本土新銳藝術家王翰林個展《動物資本論》將于 Fotografiska 影像藝術中心正式開幕。通過本次展覽，我們希望支持具有創新性和獨特藝術表達的本土藝術家，促進本土藝術創作的多元發展與交流，為觀眾呈現更多充滿新意與深度的藝術體驗。

As a Contemporary Museum of Photography, Art, and Culture, Fotografiska has consistently strived to showcase thought-provoking and cutting-edge visual art to the public.

At the start of 2025, we are proud to launch our Local Emerging Artists Project. On January 17th, the solo exhibition Animal Capital by local artist Wang Hanlin will officially open at Fotografiska Shanghai. Through this exhibition, we aim to support local artists with innovative and distinctive artistic expressions, foster the diverse development and exchange of local art, and provide our audience with more fresh and profound artistic experiences.

《動物資本論》作為Fotografiska 影像藝術中心繼2024年12月開幕的世界巡展《寵物總動員》的延伸展覽，以“寵物”為話題切入點，旨在通過觀察寵物來審視人類，探索人類社會的構成。

As an extension of the global exhibition The Pet Show opened at Fotografiska Shanghai in December 2024, Animal Capital uses "pets" as a starting point to examine humanity. The exhibition aims to explore the structure of human society through the observation of pets.

寵物像一面人類的鏡子，映射出人類的態度與思想。當我們以旁觀的視角去更深入地觀察人與寵物的互動時，這一切將更為明顯。我們可以從寵物身上看到人的“問題”，也可在人的身上看到寵物的“痕跡”。

Pets act as a mirror to humanity, reflecting our attitudes and thoughts. When we examine the interactions between humans and pets from an objective standpoint, these reflections become more evident. Through pets, we can discern the "issues" of humans, while also recognizing traces of pets within human behavior.

作為一個持續關注人類情感與精神記錄的當代藝術家，王翰林期望通過對圖像的研究來探尋人的意識形態。本次展覽中，王翰林將“寵物”的概念泛化，“寵物”既指生命體，也涵蓋非生命體，同時也體現出不同時代語境的變化。藝術家對過去五年內家庭內部、周遭朋友和社會新聞里，人和寵物的戲謔互動事件進行了觀察和總結。探討了那些看似理性文明的制度背后，寵物如何成為人類社會中各種非常規事件或行為的出口。

As a contemporary artist focused on the exploration of human emotions and the documentation of the human psyche, Wang Hanlin aims to investigate human ideologies through the study of imagery. In this exhibition, he expands the concept of "pets" to encompass not only living beings but also inanimate objects, while reflecting the evolving contexts of different historical periods. Over the past five years, the artist has observed and analyzed the playful interactions between humans and pets within family dynamics, among friends, and in social news. His work delves into how, beneath seemingly rational and civilized systems, pets have become outlets for various unconventional events or behaviors within human society.
