The Empty City, No One’s Left
Cities are the result of humanity, they seem to be half organic, continuously growing over time. The significance of the city extends from the center to the edge. The edge then becomes the center, forming a new edge. Due to its intricate structure, the history of a city is constantly in transition. However, like an organism, cities also age, die, and are reborn. Because of the rapid rate of change, there is not enough time for the organism to create a new shell. Once a city has become a ghost town, it also becomes a statement on contemporary human landscape. Perhaps the landscape was influenced by migrations, whether natural or because of war. These spatial transfigurations, both surreal and metaphysical, provide distinctive perspectives on culture.
The exhibition “The Empty City” reflects the artist‘s concern for urban life – its interpretation and reflection – by viewing the city through a series of metaphors from the summer solstice.

關於光距再思考



人類藉由光的波動探測物理世界,科學上的光是由一種稱為光子的基本粒子所組成,粒子產生的磁波肉眼可以 視見,而光波代表了能的計量,進而作為解釋物質的運動與行為,當光在不同的學門中出現時也代表了不同的 意義,藉由在文學與社會科學中所賦予其的特殊意涵,我們對光的詮釋開始帶入了情感的作用,光明世界、光 彩奪目、光鮮的外表、光環與光榮等等,光從來就是以正面的形象示人,不分種族與國度,始終對光的符號有 著鮮明的文明運作與情感象徵,當光回到了藝術的領域,藝術家藉著光的作用帶出了色彩及造型,豐富了視覺 藝術的語言層次,也使物理現象帶入深層的心理意識之中。

「光距」透過光學工具的投射與成像作用,探討光的軌跡運動,空氣中的微粒子使光體驟現,鏡頭所展現的光隨著時間的變化忽暗忽明,而光經由攝影的捕捉所轉換成的電子訊號又輸入到投影機,形成影像內的光體,轉換在意義與質量之外的世界形塑另一次經驗光的迴圈。
