跳 • 台南  Hopscotching Tainan

Mixed Media, Site-Specific , 2013

以四百片的棧板搭起展覽空間,在棧板上鋪起木板、塗上黑板漆、繪上跳房子的遊戲格子,並在一個個看似資訊台的立柱上放置觀看機具。整體展覽,是一個以「pop-upexhibition」的概念所呈現的展場,企圖以本身臨時且開放的特性連結起周邊社區和來往流動的人潮,在互動的經驗過程中認識作品,瞭解人、城市、記憶和想像的關連與建構。

 

這件作品利用遊戲跳房子的形式重新解構台南中西區地圖。我在臨時搭出的展場空間劃出跳房子的路線,在特定點上擺置類似望遠鏡的觀看機具 (viewmaster),裡面是不同的3D影像,而這些影像其實是對應中西區地圖的不同地點(如:鴨母寮、保安路、國華街...)。觀者看到這些影像或 許會覺得熟悉卻又奇怪的,因為這些影像其實是事前在工作室利用照片做成的小模型、進行場面調度與燈光配置、利用3D技術拍攝而成。

 

 

A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing

-- Oscar Wilde

 

一座城市的建築與街道,經過理性且制式的方位標注後,可以成為一份讓大眾使用的公共地圖。然而,公共地圖所提供的資訊卻無法完整表達人們對生活的感受、也無法再現旅人於城市閒逛散步時的身體感知。

 

無論是在地人或旅人,我們大多是透過身體移動,在城市裡建立空間與我們的關係,並且在過程當中用自己的方式堆疊城市的面貌,為街頭巷弄的角落劃下有形與無形的標記。

 

《跳 • 台南》這件作品以遊戲「跳房子」的隨機概念出發,邀請觀者進入作品當中,透過機具觀看藝術家詮釋的城市景象,以身體感受在城市空間的定位與方向,重新建構對城市的認識與想像。


This project adopts the idea of childhood game ‘hopscotch’, using the map of Tainan Central-West District as the base and coding the hopscotch routes according to the structure of Tainan city map.

This site-specific work takes place on an abandoned public space. Using 400 pallets to construct the site and placing blackboard on the ground, participants are invited to enter this pop-up toy box, play the hopscotch game and view the images in 3D view-masters.

These images are street scenes of different locations which are made out of photographs and papers. Through viewing these strangely-familiar images, viewers are stimulated to interpret the Tainan map through their subjective imaginations and memories.


 

Rules of the Game

01. Throw cards on to ‘Hopscotching Tainan’ site.

02. Jump or walk or hopscotch or dance to the spot.

03. View images through 3D view-masters, observe...

04. Note your map via memory and imagination.
