2024年为庆祝中法建交60周年，法国吉美国立亚洲艺术博物馆邀请了来自中国的艺术家蒋琼耳女士，通过其天马行空的思维，以全新艺术项目《时间的容器》勾勒华夏文明与神话符号的当代诠释，描绘出一座东西方思想和文化交流的桥梁。这也是庆祝中法文化旅游年和巴黎迎接奥运观众的重要地标。蒋琼耳的这一宏伟壮观的大型系列装置艺术创作由“民胞物与”、“祈起”、“XII呼唤”、“AI女书2024/勇敢”以及“内观洞穴”五组作品组成。
‍
在吉美博物馆外立面巍峨的顶端与历史建筑洞窟中，蒋琼耳创作了代表着她心中的21世纪公民价值观精神的十二神兽，它们栩栩如生地显现，仿若在时光的洞穴中安家落户，向世人发出古老而神秘的召唤。

这十二只充满灵性的神兽，宛若汇集了欧洲星座与中国十二生肖之精髓，它们的生命源于守护中国及人类历史的神兽们的再创，每一个神兽都诉说着一段独特的故事，呼唤着一种时代精神。正逢龙年，中国灵感的龙图腾元索，与世界人类共同体的精神呼唤交织在一起，被编织进这十二只神兽的生命中，构筑出 21 世纪新寓言。

这些承载着人类核心价值精神的神兽们，是时间的守护者。

它们随着日夜更迭、季节轮回、节庆钟声和庆典欢歌，在吉美博物馆建筑的外立面苏醒，活灵活现，宛若梦境中的使者。神兽们向过往的路人呼唤，耶拿广场成为洋溢着诗意温馨、欢乐盎然的集会之地。

此次《时间的容器》以时间为题，以人工智能技术为笔，在法国吉美国立亚洲艺术博物馆这座首屈一指的亚洲艺术殿堂描绘了一座东西方思想和文化交流的桥梁，于此，我们共同见证中法建交60周年和中法文化旅游年的重要时刻，以及巴黎奥运会的成功举办。

In 2024, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, the Guimet National Museum of Asian Art in France invited Chinese artist Jiang Qiong Er to create a new art project titled “The Guardians of Time.” Through her imaginative and innovative approach, she reinterprets Chinese civilization and mythological symbols in a contemporary context, depicting a bridge of exchange between Eastern and Western thought and culture. This project also serves as a significant landmark for celebrating the China-France Year of Culture and Tourism and welcoming Olympic visitors to Paris. Jiang Qiong Er's grand-scale installation art series consists of five works: “Origin,” “Initiation,” “XII Calls,” “Her Voice Bravery,” and “Introspection.”

Fantastic creatures appear on the thresholds of caves. For the artist JlANG Qiong Er, each of these mythical creatures embodies a value essential to the harmony of the human community.

Twelve in number, like the twelve signs of the European and Chinese Zodiacs, these creatures are hybrid, syncretic beings, made up of elements borrowed from legendary Chinese creatures of the past, combined with the help of artificial intelligence. Each tells a unique story. In this Year of the Dragon, elements of dragon iconography are woven into the morphology of these twelve creatures, composing a new bestiary for the 21st century. In this year under the zodiacal sign of the dragon, this central figure of Chinese mythology is woven into the morphology of these twelve creatures, forming a new bestiary for the future.

As if emerging from the bowels of the earth, these creatures are created by JlANG Qiong Er to remind us of our common origins and reaffirm the values that unite us. Each carries a particular message, expressing the hope of restoring our common humanity. These mythical, emblematic creatures, which remind us of essential human values, are the guardians of time.

To the rhythm of the cycle of day and night, of the four seasons, of festive moments and celebrations, they appear on the façade and come to life. They interact with the public on the Place d'léna, which becomes a poetic, friendly and playful meeting point.

This exhibition, titled “The Guardians of Time,” uses time as its theme and artificial intelligence technology as its medium to depict a bridge of exchange between Eastern and Western thought and culture at the Guimet National Museum of Asian Art in France, a premier institution for Asian art. Here, we collectively witness the significant moments of the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and France, the China-France Year of Culture and Tourism, and the successful hosting of the Paris Olympics.
