作为群展“伟大的掩饰”的一部分，上海外滩美术馆将呈现艺术家陈琼英（Arlette Quỳnh-Anh Trần）的作品《革命鬼魂》（The Revolutionary Ghost，2026）。这部由美术馆委任的作品目前仍在创作中，并首次面向公众呈现。之后，现场还将放送艺术家与策展人对谈录像。
作品《革命鬼魂》追随曾雪明的灵性之旅展开——她曾是李瑞（胡志明早年的化名）在广州时期的妻子。她的灵魂穿梭于时空，最终抵达了当代纽约。作品以诗意的随笔式镜头，交织出20世纪横跨洲际的革命历史暗流：从非裔美国人群体的大迁徙与哈莱姆文艺复兴，到胡志明在美国度过的隐秘岁月，再到广东和香港地区活跃的地下共产主义运动。
作品避开了对于英雄肖像的宏大刻画，潜入历史表象之下，挖掘那些伴随女性革命者身上沉默而强大的影响力。她们的牺牲、渴望以及对自由的向往，在国家与意识形态的斗争中激荡回响，并最终在爱、命运与抗争那微妙的罅隙间显影。
As part of The Great Camouflage exhibition, Rockbund Art Museum is pleased to announce a free screening of Arlette Quỳnh-Anh Trần's film The Revolutionary Ghost (2026); a first look into a work-in-progress commissioned by the museum. Following the screening, there will be a pre-recorded Q&A with the artist.
The Revolutionary Ghost follows the ethereal journey of Zeng Xueming, the Cantonese wife of Lý Thuỵ (Hồ Chí Minh’s former alias), as her spirit drifts through time and space, arriving in modern-day New York. Through a poetic, essayistic lens, the film weaves together the trans-continental currents of 20th-century revolutionary history—from the Great Migration and the Harlem Renaissance of African American communities, to Hồ Chí Minh’s clandestine years in America and the secretive communist movements of Guangdong and Hong Kong. Eschewing iconic portraits, the narrative seeps beneath the surface of history, uncovering the silent, powerful influence of women who accompanied the revolutionaries. Their sacrifices, desires, and thirst for freedom echo through the struggle for country and ideology, revealed in the delicate interstices of love, fate, and resistance.
