STERLING RUBY – DAMNATION (个展)

E. M. Forster’s 1924 novel A Passage to India hinges on a dramatic scene that takes place deep in the fictitious Marabar Caves. The young Englishwoman, Adela Quested, escorted to the caves on an excursion led by the Muslim physician, Dr. Aziz, experiences an attack, panics, and flees. When the distraught Quested is found among the hills, she’s described as ‘practically done for – her helmet off.’ While Forster leaves the truth of what happened in the caves intentionally vague, the rest of the novel reckons with the accusation leveled at Dr. Aziz that he attempted to assault her. A trial ensues, laying bare the fragile ties holding the English and the natives together. – E.M.福斯特的1924部小说《印度之行》是一个戏剧性的场景，发生在虚拟的马拉巴尔洞穴深处。年轻的英国妇女阿德拉·奎斯特德在穆斯林医生阿齐兹医生的带领下前往洞穴探险，她经历了一次袭击、恐慌和逃亡。当在山间发现奎斯特德心烦意乱时，她被形容为“几乎完成了——摘掉了头盔”。虽然福斯特故意模糊了洞穴里发生的事情的真相，但小说的其余部分还是根据对阿齐兹博士的指控来推测，他企图袭击阿齐兹。给她打电话。随后，英国人和土著人之间的脆弱关系暴露在一起。
