“你知道所有的相遇都是久別的重逢嗎?”
運行針:加德滿都(Running Stitch: Kathmandu)是我在2018年於尼泊爾加德滿都駐村時的作品,延續過往創作中針對城市邊緣地帶異質場域的關注,進行一系列探訪在地神靈信仰的創作計劃。
藉由在地觀察,編寫出三段關於靈魂循環的寓言詩,大量遊走在狹小巷弄街道中拍攝異國居民的日常生活,透過這些街拍影像,將自然現象 (聖河、土地、大氣) 的畫面再抽象化,運用影像上下切割並置的方式,搭配詩歌讓畫面個別獨立並在時間軸上同時呈現,企圖跨越一般線性影像的單一記錄特質,與在地居民共同編寫出一篇獻給自然的影像詩。
"Do you know that every encounter is a reunion after a long separation? "
Running Stitch: Kathmandu is the work I did during my residency in Kathmandu, Nepal in 2018. It continues my artistic concern towards the heterogeneous fields found in urban fringe areas, and includes a series of art projects about searching for the local gods/spirits.
I composed three fable poems about the reincarnation based on my field research. By keeping wandering the streets and narrow lanes and photographing the daily life of local residents, I aimed to make the natural phenomena (the holy river, the earth, and the air) seem more abstract through these street snapshots. The images in the video are cut and juxtaposed in vertical position with the lines in poems shown on the screen synchronically. By doing so, the work attempts to surpass the general characteristics of linear-timeline-based videos, and co-write a collection of videopoetry dedicated to the nature with the local residents.

“我在這裡沒有遇到靈魂,但是我有我的故事要說。” 運行針:曼谷(Running Stitch: Bangkok)是我在2016年於泰國進行藝術創作駐村時的作品,針對那些屬於城市邊緣地帶的異質場域,進行一系列探訪地區神秘傳說的創作計劃。 藉由敘事接龍的方式,在泰國曼谷地區街頭隨意的進行游擊採訪,並且將採集來的那些屬於鬼魅與都市傳說等親身經歷的故事,搭配實地探訪所拍攝的影像,運用縫紉與拓撲學的概念,將三個不同地區的事件串連起來成為一個迴圈狀態。 在視覺上,使用雙頻幕將地域與敘事的影像個別左右獨立出來並在時間軸上同時呈現,企圖跨越一般線性影像的單一記錄性質,將敘事裡的空間打破並且重新尋找鍵連,共同與當地居民進行一場屬於在地的影像實驗。 |
"I have met no spirits here, but I have my story to tell."
RunningStitch: Bangkok is the work I accomplished during my residency in Thailand in 2016. Focusing on those heterogeneous fields found in urban fringe areas, I conducted a series of art projects on regional mysterious hearsays.
By using the methodology of narrative sequence, I conducted interviews on the streets in Bangkok at random. Following that, I matched the pictures taken on the actual site of the personal experiences pertaining to ghosts and urban legends I heard during the interviews——all three events originated in different regions are connected together as a loop based on the concept of sewing and topology.
Regarding the visual representation, I create a two-channel video to display the images of regions and narratives simultaneously so as to surpass the general characteristics of linear-timeline-based videos, to break the boundaries among the narratives, and to find new connections from within. Together with the residents, we performed a local visual experiment.
