超级分镜——深圳文化多样性主题策展季 / 直径叙事设计

直径叙事团队一直试图在各种空间形态中探讨展览叙事的意义与可能，我们从不回避在任何空间进行文化介入，其中包括博物馆、美术馆、社区和古村等等。每一种环境都会给创作者提出新问题，睿印项目是一次前所未有的空间叙事尝试，感谢睿印能够让直径团队在商业空间领域中迈出自己的第一步。
—— 李德庚
The Diameter Narrative team has consistently explored the meanings and possibilities of exhibition narrative across diverse spatial typologies. We never shy away from cultural intervention in any kind of space—be it museums, art galleries, communities, or ancient villages. Each environment poses new questions for creators. The RAIL IN project represents an unprecedented experiment in spatial narrative, and we are deeply grateful to RAIL IN for enabling Diameter to take its first step into the realm of commercial space.

作为深圳湾超级总部基地的首发商业，睿印 RAIL IN 以服务市民高品质出行和生活为出发点，致力于为湾区生活圈打造中央活力“枢纽”。在深超总首个商业综合体建成之际，直径叙事受深铁集团与万科集团的邀请，负责睿印开幕季展览的整体策划。
As the first commercial development within the Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters Base, RAIL IN is conceived around enhancing high-quality urban mobility and everyday life, aiming to establish a central hub of vitality for the Greater Bay Area lifestyle circle. Upon the completion of the district’s first commercial complex, Diameter Narrative was invited by Shenzhen Metro Group and Vanke Group to undertake the overall curatorial planning for RAIL IN’s opening exhibition season.

直径团队以深圳为“超级主角”，开展“超级分镜”主题策展季，从不同视角对深圳进行多元的全新解读。展览分为三大主题：“自然人文分镜”、“历史未来分镜”和“多元文化分镜”，通过分镜向观众展现出深圳无限的包容力、缤纷的生命力。三个主题位于睿印一层，直径希望通过“主题展厅”与“文化艺术展廊”相结合的方式，创造出多样化且身临其境的体验，开启一场关于深圳文化的探索之旅。
Taking Shenzhen as the “super protagonist,” the Diameter team launched the themed curatorial season Super Storyboard, offering diverse and renewed interpretations of the city from multiple perspectives. The exhibition is structured around three major themes: Storyboard of Nature and Humanity, Storyboard of History and the Future, and Storyboard of Multiculturalism. Through a storyboard-based narrative approach, the exhibition reveals Shenzhen’s boundless inclusiveness and vibrant vitality.All three themes are located on the ground floor of RAIL IN. By combining themed exhibition halls with cultural art corridors, Diameter Narrative aims to create a diversified and immersive experience, inviting visitors on a journey of cultural exploration through Shenzhen.

自然人文分镜——主题展厅“山海城市 生命共鸣”
Natural and Cultural Mirrors – Theme Exhibition Hall “Resonance of Life in Mountain and Sea Cities”

自然人文分镜的空间外形从深圳的连绵山脉中汲取灵感，创造出一个巨大的“山体”结构。既能够保证外部视角观看的视觉张力，又能够保证内部环境的沉浸性。“山体”内部分为两个展区，希望以全新的融合视角看待深圳，用蒙太奇式的手法讲述深圳的生命故事。
The spatial shape of the natural and cultural storyboards draws inspiration from the continuous mountains of Shenzhen, creating a huge “mountain” structure. It can ensure both visual tension from an external perspective and immersion in the internal environment. The interior of “Mountain” is divided into two exhibition areas, hoping to view Shenzhen from a new perspective of integration and tell the life story of Shenzhen through montage style techniques.

“‘山海城市·生命共鸣’展览位于商场主入口的核心位置，是可以被观众第一眼就看到的。那么，我们为什么要让展览外部的红色结构长到商场外面呢？通常展览是不需要做外形的，因为展馆建筑已经给展览赋予了外形。但商业氛围决定了人群活跃的气氛，安静古典的展览会与商业空间格格不入。所以在展览的外部造型上希望体现出活跃、张扬甚至是有点夸张的状态，给展览营造出一种性格与氛围，这样展览才能更好地去融入商业空间。”
The “Mountain-Sea City · Life Resonance” exhibition is located at the core of the main entrance of the shopping mall, making it visible to the audience at first glance. So, why do we want to extend the red structure outside the exhibition to the outside of the mall? Usually, exhibitions do not need to have an external appearance, as the exhibition hall building already gives the exhibition its appearance. However, the commercial atmosphere determines the lively atmosphere of the crowd, and a quiet and classical exhibition would be incompatible with the commercial space. Therefore, we hope to reflect an active, bold, and even exaggerated state in the external appearance of the exhibition, creating a personality and atmosphere for the exhibition, so that it can better integrate into the commercial space.

“山海城市”展区将以宏观的视角展示深圳的自然环境与地貌变迁。在室内空间中设置了“山海观景台”，穿过坡道走上平台便可以纵览深圳的自然景观。平台内的三段影像以自述者的视角向观众介绍深圳的陆地、海洋与湿地环境，墙面变幻的影像与地面造景拼接成一幅幅深圳的“全景画卷”。在坡道上设置了两个观察窗洞，分别展示珠江口亿万年的地理演变和深圳湾海岸线的进退，带领观众以俯瞰的视角从上空观察深圳。
The “Mountain-Sea City” exhibition area will showcase the natural environment and geomorphic changes of Shenzhen from a macro perspective. An “Mountain-Sea Viewing Platform” has been set up in the indoor space, where visitors can overlook the natural landscape of Shenzhen by walking up the ramp to the platform. Three videos on the platform introduce the land, ocean, and wetland environments of Shenzhen to the audience from the perspective of the narrator. The changing images on the wall and the ground scenery are combined to form a series of “panoramic paintings” of Shenzhen. Two observation windows are set up on the ramp, showing the geological evolution of the Pearl River Estuary over millions of years and the advance and retreat of the coastline of Shenzhen Bay, respectively, allowing visitors to observe Shenzhen from an overhead perspective.

“生命共鸣”展区则是聚焦微观，展示深圳生命和谐共生的故事。在这里将看到形似天平的装置，“生命天平”的一端是深圳人、另一端是深圳的动植物，影像记录着他们在这座城市生活的诸多景象：劳作与捕食、宗族传承与族群繁衍……它们都在城市中建设着属于自己的美好生活，共同组成了“深圳生命共同体”。这些生动瞬间凝聚成如梦似幻的“泡泡”，观众可以轻轻触摸这些不断闪烁着的“泡泡”，去感受这些生命的呼吸共鸣。触摸后，在它们轻微地倾斜晃动之间可以感受到人类与自然万物之间微妙的平衡关系。
The “Life Resonance” exhibition area focuses on the micro level, showcasing the story of harmonious coexistence of life in Shenzhen. Here, visitors will see a device resembling a balance scale, with one end representing the people of Shenzhen and the other end representing the flora and fauna of Shenzhen. Images record various scenes of their lives in this city: labor and predation, clan inheritance and population reproduction… They all build their own beautiful lives in the city, collectively forming the “Shenzhen Life Community”. These vivid moments condense into dreamlike “bubbles”, and visitors can gently touch these constantly flashing “bubbles” to feel the breathing resonance of these lives. After touching, they can feel the subtle balance between humans and all things in nature through their slight tilting and shaking.

“观众来到商场会经历很多次场景的切换，观看商场的展览也只是作为逛街过程中的一部分。所以商业空间下的展览，就不能做得过于复杂，而且内容也需要做得更轻松一些，不能呈现出教育式的严肃面孔。另外，观众拍照打卡的行为在商业空间中也更加合理化，就像去景点游玩一样，拍照打卡本来就是很重要的事情。某种意义上展览也是人们在逛街过程当中的景点。”
“Visitors to shopping malls will experience numerous scene changes, and viewing the exhibitions in the mall is merely a part of their shopping journey. Therefore, exhibitions in commercial spaces should not be overly complicated, and the content needs to be more relaxed, avoiding an educational and serious tone. Additionally, the behavior of visitors taking photos and checking in is more reasonable in commercial spaces, just like visiting scenic spots. Taking photos and checking in is an important thing to do. In a sense, exhibitions are also scenic spots in people’s shopping journey.”

历史未来分镜——主题展厅“ IN/OUT：深圳都市漫游”
Historical Future Storyboard – Theme Exhibition Hall “IN/OUT: Roaming in Shenzhen Metropolis”

历史未来分镜邀请了CABLE团队来进行策展与设计。在展厅入口可以看到，空间被黑白两种颜色一分为二，通过在展厅营造出两种全然不同的沉浸式空间，邀请观众一起短暂地脱离现实，在回溯中聆听深圳的尘封往事，在想象里构筑深圳的未来图景。
The Historical Future Storyboard has invited the CABLE team to curate and design. Visitors can see at the entrance of the exhibition hall that the space is divided into two halves by black and white colors. By creating two distinct immersive spaces within the exhibition hall, the audience is invited to briefly escape from reality, listen to the dusty past of Shenzhen through retrospect, and construct the future vision of Shenzhen in their imagination.

黑色空间“IN  表象之下”，邀请了握手 302 团队与哈尔滨工业大学建筑学院共创《城市漂流》研究，它呈现了深圳早期建设片区的人文历史影像和游览路线。左侧墙面的装置中，可以看到展览精选的深圳城市节点。通过挑选对应的磁带，可以在收音机中聆听到对应的人文故事。向前走，进入沉浸式观影区，在这里可以躺下并通过上方的拱顶屏幕看到完整的影像故事。通过内容给观众建立一种都市观察的视角，一起去记录与感知深圳四十年发展的厚度和遗产。
The “IN” exhibition space, “Under the Surface,” has invited the Handshake 302 team to collaborate with the School of Architecture at Harbin Institute of Technology to create the research project “Urban Drift.” It showcases the humanistic and historical images and tour routes of early construction areas in Shenzhen. In the installation on the left wall, visitors can see selected urban nodes of Shenzhen. By selecting the corresponding tapes, they can listen to the corresponding humanistic stories on the radio. Moving forward, visitors enter the immersive viewing area, where they can lie down and watch the complete video story through the dome screen above. Through the content, the audience is given a perspective for urban observation, and together they record and perceive the depth and heritage of Shenzhen’s forty-year development.

白色空间“OUT  未来之上”，邀请深圳市城市规划设计研究院《元深圳META-SHENZHEN》项目。展出空间中创造了一个打破边界、连接虚实的未来平行世界，观众从不同高度探头进入黑色空间内，灯光和屏幕影像随着红外感应呈现出深圳的代表性场景。观众可以代入虚拟人物视角，体验失重视角下的红树湾和留仙洞、云游深南大道两侧的草木菁华，见证未来全新的城市交互方式。 
The white space “OUT: Beyond the Future” invites the “META-SHENZHEN” project from the Shenzhen Urban Planning and Design Research Institute. Within the exhibition space, a future parallel world that breaks boundaries and connects the virtual and the real is created. Visitors peer into the black space from different heights, and lights and screen images present representative scenes of Shenzhen through infrared sensors. Visitors can adopt the perspective of virtual characters, experience the mangrove bay and Liuxian Cave from a weightless perspective, wander through the lush vegetation on both sides of Shennan Avenue, and witness the brand-new urban interaction methods of the future.

多元文化分镜——文化艺术展廊“深圳文化多样性”
Multicultural Storyboard – Cultural and Art Gallery “Shenzhen Cultural Diversity”

多元文化分镜由五组文化艺术展廊组成，它们分别散布在一层空间的各个地方，讲述了多样化视角下的深圳文化。由于这些展廊与店铺散点并置在商业空间中，所以在设计上，希望通过将明亮艳丽的色彩与野生粗糙的装置相结合起来，形成一种强烈反差感的视觉张力，让具有文化性的展廊轻松巧妙地融入在商业空间之中。
The multicultural storyboard consists of five groups of cultural and art galleries, which are scattered throughout the first floor, telling the story of Shenzhen culture from diverse perspectives. As these galleries and shops are scattered and juxtaposed in the commercial space, the design aims to create a strong visual tension through the combination of bright and vibrant colors with wild and rough installations, allowing the culturally rich galleries to be easily and cleverly integrated into the commercial space.

“在商业空间内的展览不适合做成像博物馆、美术馆展览那样过分传统的形式。去商场的观众与去博物馆的观众，心态与行为是完全不同的。去博物馆的初衷是为了能够增长见识，而去商场就是希望感受到轻松愉悦的氛围。在商场中如果能够得到一些意义与启示固然是好，但是绝对不是来学习、瞻仰的。所以我们将文化性与商业空间进行融合时，就要注意两者之间的平衡关系。”
“Exhibitions in commercial spaces are not suitable for overly traditional formats like those in museums and art galleries. The mindset and behavior of visitors to shopping malls are completely different from those of museum visitors. The original intention of visiting a museum is to broaden one’s horizons, while visiting a shopping mall is to experience a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. It is good to gain some meaning and inspiration in a shopping mall, but it is definitely not for learning or admiration. Therefore, when we integrate cultural elements into commercial spaces, we must pay attention to the balance between the two.”

“历史寻踪”展廊中，我们希望在三个橱窗结合当地的语言特色，呈现出地域多样性：在通过“粤东首府‘冇得顶’”可以了解历史中深圳行政区位的变迁；从“海防‘猴赛雷’”中知道海防军事的演变；通过“‘好劲’的食盐故事”中看见古代深圳的经济贸易生活。观众可以通过深圳至今仍保留的代表性盐业、行政、海防历史遗址全景影片，探寻历史深圳与当下深圳之间的联系。
In the “Tracing History” gallery, we aim to present regional diversity by combining local linguistic characteristics in three display windows: through “The ‘No Top’ Capital of Eastern Guangdong”, visitors can learn about the changes in Shenzhen’s administrative location over history; from “The ‘Very Impressive’ Coastal Defense”, they can learn about the evolution of coastal defense military; and through “The ‘Excellent’ Salt Story”, they can see the economic, trade, and daily life of ancient Shenzhen. Visitors can explore the connections between historical and contemporary Shenzhen through panoramic films of representative historical sites related to salt industry, administration, and coastal defense that are still preserved in Shenzhen today.

“城市当下”展廊呈现了城市的多种可能性：“满血复活吧！古城”中展现了传统岭南文化与现代城市文明碰撞下的南头古城、“流水线上的艺术”中展现了以从事西方油画复制为主的大芬村、“创新是我的力量！”中展现了以科技创新闻名的高新区、“红树林，谢谢你”中展现了拥有宝贵生物资源的的红树林。通过观察当下，观众可以看到完全不同模样的深圳。
The “City Now” gallery presents various possibilities of the city: “Resurrect with Full Blood! Ancient City” showcases the Nantou Ancient City under the collision of traditional Lingnan culture and modern urban civilization; “Art on the Assembly Line” displays Dafen Village, which is mainly engaged in the reproduction of Western oil paintings; “Innovation is My Strength!” exhibits the high-tech zone renowned for technological innovation; and “Mangrove Forest, Thank You” showcases the mangrove forest with valuable biological resources. By observing the present, the audience can see a completely different Shenzhen.

“海洋文化”展廊呈现出人类在深圳上演的精彩海洋故事：“妈祖，请你保佑我”讲述海洋信仰相关的故事；“你来我往大交流”告诉我们海上贸易的相关文化；“我的小船，我的家”展现的是疍民们如何与海共生；“我从哪里来？”反映了珠江口地区民系的变迁；“记得常回家看看”呈现的是华人远到海外发展以及海外移民回乡寻亲的故事。透过这些故事可以感受到深圳的人文精神、独具特色的海洋文化。
The “Marine Culture” gallery presents the fascinating marine stories staged by humans in Shenzhen: “Mazu, Please Bless Me” tells stories related to marine beliefs; “You Come and I Go, Great Exchange” tells us about the culture related to maritime trade; “My Little Boat, My Home” shows how the Dan people coexist with the sea; “Where Do I Come From?” reflects the changes of ethnic groups in the Pearl River Estuary region; “Remember to Come Home Often” presents stories of Chinese people who have gone overseas for development and overseas immigrants returning home to visit relatives. Through these stories, we can feel the humanistic spirit and unique marine culture of Shenzhen.

“向海而生：深圳海岸变迁”展廊中CABLE通过趣味图解的方式，记录了近40年来深圳城市发展和海岸线的相互依存。观众在玻璃上可以看到深圳海岸线在不同年代的扩张印迹。从左往右可以依次看到深圳西部滨海片区、中部深圳湾片区和东部海岸片区，分别在城市建设、城市核心区建设与自然资源共生、海洋动植物生态保护等领域的实践。
In the “Born to the Sea: The Evolution of Shenzhen’s Coastline” exhibition gallery, CABLE documents the interdependence between Shenzhen’s urban development and its coastline over the past 40 years through engaging illustrations. Visitors can observe the expansion marks of Shenzhen’s coastline across different eras on the glass display. Moving from left to right, one can see the coastal areas in the west, the Shenzhen Bay area in the center, and the eastern coastal areas of Shenzhen, each showcasing practices in urban construction, the coexistence of urban core areas and natural resources, and the ecological protection of marine flora and fauna.

“未来城市说明书”展廊展示了由腾讯研究院和帝都绘联合创作的《未来城市说明书》，介绍了腾讯的未来城市探索计划WeCityX，它从零开始思考和探索科技将如何影响和改变城市规划、建设、运营与治理方式。邀请观众像阅读旅游指南一样认识未来城市，展廊犹如一列行驶中的地铁，带领观众进入未来城市的丰富想象当中去。
The “Future City Manual” exhibition gallery showcases “Future City Manual” co-created by Tencent Research Institute and DiDuHui, introducing Tencent’s WeCityX, a future city exploration program. It rethinks and explores from scratch how technology will impact and transform urban planning, construction, operation, and governance. Visitors are invited to understand the future city like reading a travel guide. The exhibition gallery, like a subway train in motion, leads visitors into the rich imagination of the future city.

通过这次项目，直径叙事团队希望寻找到一种不摆文化架子，能以轻松姿态融入商业中的展览叙事形式。我们不希望项目中的商业环境与文化展览各自成为独立的个体，“就像咖啡中加入牛奶一样，咖啡变得不再是咖啡，奶也不再是奶，它们成了好喝的拿铁。”看似矛盾的两者，其实是一种新的机会，希望这次尝试能够给大家带来一些新的思考、新的可能。同时也希望这场与深圳共创的超级展览，在满足观众对美好生活的期待和想象的同时，也能够彰显出深圳这座城市的多元视野、文化活力与城市精神。
Through this project, the Diameter Narrative team aims to find an exhibition narrative form that can blend into the business world with an easygoing attitude, without imposing cultural pretensions. We do not want the commercial environment and cultural exhibition in the project to become independent entities, “just like adding milk to coffee, the coffee ceases to be coffee, and the milk ceases to be milk, and they become a delicious latte.” These seemingly contradictory elements actually present a new opportunity. We hope this attempt can bring some new thoughts and possibilities to everyone. At the same time, we also hope that this super exhibition co-created with Shenzhen can not only meet the audience’s expectations and imagination for a better life, but also showcase the diverse perspectives, cultural vitality, and urban spirit of Shenzhen.
