三千年前岷江畔的篝火旁,未留文字的古蜀匠人以夜火鍛打薄如蟬翼的黃金,將對天地星辰的敬畏熔鑄進四米高的青銅神樹、九隻神鳥與縱目面具。沉睡三千載黃土後,三星堆半張黃金面具在博物館聚光燈下重現光芒,低沉大提琴、古樸骨笛與青銅編鐘交響,定格隔著展櫃玻璃跨越三十個世紀的凝望。
"Sanxingdui: Half a Golden Mask" contemplates the Bronze Age Shu civilization along Sichuan's Min River—an ancient culture unrecorded in dynastic chronicles that cast its cosmology directly into gold foil and molten bronze. Centered on artifacts unearthed at the Sanxingdui site, including the iconic fragmentary gold mask, the four-meter Bronze Sacred Tree perched with nine solar birds, and the protruding-eye bronze masks, the piece pairs resonant bronze chimes, bone flute, solo cello, and atmospheric orchestral strings to frame a three-thousand-year encounter between ancient stargazers and a modern visitor behind museum glass.
