現地創作 Site-specific, 寶藏巖光節 Treasure Hill Light Festival
2021
流竄於寶藏巖聚落周遭的河流,曾是許多居住者停留的棲居之所。這一座依附於山水之間的城,同時也是法令不斷修改而產生的城市邊陲,依著水而搭建起的記憶也因此顯得柔軟卻又脆弱,如同一面破碎又重新裝起的明鏡,忠實地映照著變遷的時光,在飄渺不定的狀態裡隨著時間的積累,由許多片段組合而成為一幅不斷變化的風景。此次創作計畫擷取流逝與河水的意象作為概念,使用工業生產的薄膜作為媒材,透明且輕盈柔軟的質地,與周圍自然景觀呈現巨大的反差相應,如同入侵般交織的狀態,並建構起一座半透明如同薄膜的人工場所。在夜間,透過材料的褶皺與光的反射,讓封存的空間轉成一層層懸浮的光,成為流於空中的河水與不復存在的過往。
Surrounded by water and situated at the foot of a mountain, Treasure Hill was once the dwelling of many residents and is a product of the ever-changing rules and regulations of society. The waterside memories of the village seem soft and fragile, and yet they truthfully reflect the surrounding changes and the erratic passing of time, assembling the imagery of ephemerality like a shattered mirror that has been pieced together. This art project is inspired by transience and the imagery of the river. The transparency and softness of industrial film create a significant contrast with the natural surroundings, resulting in an effect of invasive entwinement and constructing a semi-transparent, artificial sphere. At night, the creases of the material and light refractions transform into layers of light in the enclosed space, becoming a vanishing, mid-air river of the past.
