The new body of works from the Wandering Islands exhibition are made of oil painting on transparent acrylic boards, and are combined with a series of installations in the exhibition space. Each work is a singularly wandering islands in the waves of the sea.
The present exhibition is one of the projects for her Master of Arts at the Wimbledon College of Arts, London. Here she studies the relationship between ready-made, mass-produced memorabilia and the memory of a location. In these wandering islands, you might experience or touch the memorable objects on the list below: Architectural sketch with incorrect position of space/ Staring eyes with beach-blue colour/ Photograph of a cat praying to a full moon/ Butterfly covered with leafy green colour inside a plant/ Someone’s garden as a graveyard scattered with all kinds of dolls/ Shrine with perpetually unfinished construction/ Beggars covered with a blanket in wintry ice-cold Paris/ Endless walking tunnel below the Thames River/ Sound from the video of a sunset scene at Rhine river/ The boy who lives in the island. These memories are a mix of truth and imagination about this and parallel worlds. |
Wandering Islands 徘徊島嶼 展覽中的作品是以油彩於亞加力膠板為主調,配以特意選擇的記憶物件和裝置,展示一個又一個的徘徊在記憶海洋的島嶼。關於記憶物件的概念來看她於2011年創作的Find Her Series- Memories Keeper, 尋找她:記憶儲存體的作品深化。
節錄 Find Her Series- Memories Keeper, 尋找她:記憶儲存體(2011) 作品概念: 有一天,她曾經喃喃自語對物件說的話,忘記了,但呼出的暖氣及用力擁抱擠壓觸摸的壓力,她的物件仍有記憶。她知道真正的自己所及的範圍是大於她的皮膚所包圍的範圍,他們看不見她,但能夠感受她。我們的精神並不局限於我們的肉體, 我們的氣質也不停止在我們的指尖的美及髮尾的香氣,在他物他人記憶中存在,她如是。 在眾島嶼上看到和觸碰到的記憶物件可以是一張的錯位建築系練習圖,一雙凝視的淺水藍色眼晴,一張仰視月亮祈禱的貓的照片,隱藏在綠林中的綠色蝴蝶,走過無數玩偶墓地的前庭,坐上一座最後沒有興建成功的神殿,還有只披著布走過冬天巴黎的流浪漢,看不盡頭的河底隧道,錄像上萊茵河日落的聲音和看到住在島嶼上的男孩。 這可能是真,也可能是想像,也可以來自的外在事物。 |
