​这是一系列关于云南道路的作品。云南是一个中国西南部的内陆山区省份，与缅甸、老挝、越南接壤，并与中国的西藏、四川、贵州、广西四省相连。在民族国家形成后的当下，我们通常会通过边界线，以及被这些边界线包围的区域去想象一个地方。边界线闭合且清晰，对大地进行着准确、抽象而排他的划分。然而，在前现代，或许更重要的是另一组线条：山脉、河流，以及与之平行或贯穿其中的诸多道路。这些线条是具体的、流动而弹性的，在不同的时间中形成并持续变化，由此生成和连接起一个个地方。这些线条并不闭合，它们延伸，跨过边界，形成新的连接与聚合。

​

「叠层与漂砾」关注的就是这后一组线条：关注这些在不同年代背景、不同技术环境中形成的道路，以及它们如何相互影响、相互覆盖、相互联合，形成时间与物质的叠层。同时，该项目也聚焦于那些道路中的流动者，看它们如何策略性地置身其中，跨越地方，形塑新的话语与新的可能。

This is a series about roads in Yunnan. Yunnan is a landlocked, mountainous province in southwestern China, bordering Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam, and connected to the Chinese provinces of Tibet, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Guangxi. In the present, after the formation of nation-states, we usually imagine a place by its boundary lines, and the area surrounded by these lines, which are closed and clear, providing a precise, abstract and exclusive division of the earth. In pre-modern times, however, perhaps more important is another set of lines: mountains, rivers, and the many roads that run parallel to or through them. These lines are embodied, fluid and elastic, formed and continually changing over time, thus generating and connecting places. They are not closed; they extend, cross boundaries, and form new connections and aggregations.

​

It is this latter set of lines that are the focus of "Stratums and Erratics", looking at these roads formed in different chronological contexts and technological environments, and how they interact, overlay, and unite with each other to form a stratum of time and materiality. At the same time, the project also focuses on the actors on those roads, seeing how they strategically place themselves in and across places, shaping new discourses and new possibilities.
