展覽論述 Exhibition Statement
若去撿拾都市中位移的日子,灰色是生活最常見到的顏色:水泥建築與大廈、被柏油取代的草皮或泥沙、煙霧或粉塵環繞的空氣、招牌並肩閃爍的光暈、還有所有不是特別好也不是特別壞的那些抽象妥協…,灰色的馬路延展於大街小巷,在事件與事件的中間被碰觸,串連生活與生活的空隙,成為人們在都市內移動所遇見的第一道介質。我以道路作為象徵、反映大眾生活的媒介,將路面作為模具,翻製、採集人類所活動的痕跡與破損,試圖從日常所見的交通關係中尋找對應社會中其他實際存在,卻又不輕易被理解或梳理的落差,以物的模具討論也處於模具之中的人們,所被成就集體類似的悲傷或喜悅,一如前面那個常見的,夾雜在黑與白之間的尺幅廣大的待解的灰。
If we collect the memories and days we move around in the city, grey is the most common color we see in daily life: The cement mansion building, the asphalt that replaces the meadow or turf, the spreading smoke and dust in the air, the halo of flickering signboards, and those abstract compromises which are neither good nor bad. Grey roads reach everywhere. They are contacted when different events happened and also link those interspaces within life. They are the first medium people encounter while moving around in the city. I symbolize the roads as the medium of people’s daily life by using the model of the road pavement to create and to gather the damages as well as the traces of human activities. In attempt to seek the realistic existence corresponding to the traffic conditions in daily life, which cannot be easily understood or puzzled out, I wish to provoke the thought about the unsolved grey spreading widely between black and white by probing into the people situated in the model who share similar sorrow or pleasure.
