“如果未来存在，具体地存在于个体的意识里，就像那些只能由头脑更好的人所察觉的事情一样，那么过去也许便没有那么吸引人了，因为过去的种种事情，会与未来相抵消。”
——弗拉德米尔·纳博科夫《透明》
要审视“未来”的概念，以及它与现在的关系，就要记录，保存并重现现实。这是为了改变我们对时间顺序的认识。
展览《未来公民》是一组视频装置。罗蔷在她的个展当中邀请她的观众进入一个虚空的世界——“外太空”。太空是一个未知的空间，并且象征着未知的将来。
我们将进入一个“无空间”，一个还并不存在的空间，即未来。什么是未来公民？未来将会是什么样子？将会在何处发生？这公民是何人的公民？未来会在过去显得更好吗？这些关于未来的问题无法回避，且伴随着关于“现在”的问题。本展览提出了一个未来的空间，并邀请观众想象和探寻那复杂的未来情形。

“Perhaps if the future existed, concretely and individually, as something that could be discerned by a better brain, the past would not be so seductive: its demands would be balanced by the future.”
-Vladamir Nabokov, Transparent Things

To examine the notion of future and its relationship with our present, is to capture, retain and reproduce our reality. It is an act to alter our sense of temporality.
The show “future citizen” is a large-scale video installation.In her solo exhibition, artist Luo Qiang invites the visitor to enter a void. The place: outer space. Space is a place unknown and symbolizes the unknown time to come.
Enter a space to a “non – place”, a place that does not exist yet – the future. What is the future citizen? What will the future look like and where will it take place? Whose citizens will they be? Did the future look better in the past? The inevitable questions about future are consequently be followed by questions about our ‘now’. This exhibition is proposing a space of the future and is inviting the visitor to imagine and explore the complex condition of futurity.
