郑皓中《13854》
Haozhong Zheng: 13854

郑皓中的个展名 “13854 ”来自利物浦的一棵树的编码。

他如是解释道：“2014年我第一次看到这棵树下就被它迷住了，我画了这棵树，想着两年后再来看这棵树，因为2016年我要再来英国举办个展，两年时间我的生活发生了转折，物是人非，当我再来到这棵树下的时候，我觉得它的编码就像是我生命中的一段编号，而这棵树也成为了一个开始，那些草地散落在叶片就像我一幅幅作品，我无法知道这些叶片来自哪个枝桠，我只知道这些叶片都来自这棵大树。”

The title of Zheng Haozhong's solo exhibition 13854 came from the barcode of a tree in Liverpool, UK.

He explains this further,"When I first met it in 2014, I was immediately intrigued. I painted this tree, thinking that I would see it again after two years, since I planned to exhibit my works in the U.K. in 2016. However, my life turned upside down, and I experienced huge changes in those two years. When I returned to this tree once again, I felt that the barcode was embedded in my life as a serial number of destiny. This tree, thus, becomes a beginning. The leaves scattered around the grass resemble my artworks. I cannot tell which leaf fell from a which branch, but I know for sure that they all departed from this very tree."
