奥黛丽·西门(Audrey Salmon)于1977年出生在法国里昂。

于2001年拿到里昂高等艺术高等学校的平面设计硕士学位之后，她就开始了她的创作生涯，而平面设计和摄影都是她的表达媒介。

2007年她参加了意大利设计品牌Moleskine为年轻艺术家举办的艺术创作比赛，并获得了第三名。

比赛后为获奖者的作品举办的“Invitation au Voyage”展览使她有机会把她的创作带到一些亚洲城市做巡展，其中包括香港、新加坡和台北。

自2005年起，她开始在北京生活和工作。

来到中国是一份令人难以置信的都市体验，她对于这个城市的“欧洲”式的设想被一种全新的建筑景观打破和取代。

城市的景观在 不停的改变，这便是她近期工作背后的灵感源泉。

在这里，人们会感觉到永恒不断的位移，因为“你几乎永远不知道身在何方，因为这里所有的一切每天都在变化”。

摄影本身在追赶这种都市张力的能力上是存在限制的；而这个展览旨在将这个奇特而迷人的宇宙的点滴重构和诠释为图像。

生物体本身的变化来自基因的突变，然而在过去几十年的中国，因为剧烈的经济与改革开放，中国的城市面貌也产生了仿彿基因突变的效果。

居民内心深处的欲望和危机感日以俱增，渊远流长的文化传统在城市建构参与者的眼中交替与沦陷。

奥黛丽·西门(Audrey Salmon)的 “建筑突变”系列作品展现出一个旁观者的记录并触动观者的臆想。

在4月20日星期日的下午3点，在FakeSpace虚空间会举办一个抽奖活动，得奖者将可获得艺术家本人签名摄影作品一张。请有效填写现场发送的表格，并放置在现场的抽奖箱，即可参与本次活动。

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.
