2023,暫時性情境,京都藝術中心
在日本近代化時期建立的小學體育館內,觀眾被引導戴上美國製造的夜視鏡,在視覺受限的條件下注視身體動作,以及依據廣島核爆遺留的人影之石所等比重製的雕刻物。作品以全然黑暗的狀態,對照核爆當下,廣島因瞬間驟起的黑雨和強烈閃光,城市成為暗房,讓人類身體顯影於台階與橋樑上;觀者在極致黑暗狀態下觀望世界的戰爭歷史;以及東亞的政治關係。
2023, Ephemeral Situations, Kyoto Art Center/ Art Kyoto
In an elementary school gymnasium built during Japan’s modernization period, the audience is guided to wear American-made night-vision goggles to observe the movements of performers’ bodies under visually restricted conditions, along with a sculpture composed of human silhouettes—a “shadow stone” reminiscent of the imprints left after the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima. Immersed in total darkness, the artwork evokes Hiroshima at the moment of the explosion, when the city was transformed into a dark room by sudden black rain and blinding flashes of light, imprinting human figures onto steps and bridges. Within this darkness, the viewer confronts the history of global wars and the shifting political dynamics of East Asia.
