《身之載體》The Body Medium
2022 政大駐校藝術計畫|Video Installation|與聲音藝術家 Petr Danda 共同創作|B&W|10m 30s Loop
作品簡介
《身之載體》為影像與聲音的創作,影像擷取自分享者身上的刺青,使用數位方式拆解、放大,投影至空間中流轉,創造有別於平常的觀看方式。聲音與影像同時存在,收錄與刺青分享者的談話,描述著這些圖案如何反映個人生命經驗與體悟,並使用身體記錄下來。觀者需使用手機(掃QR code)來聆聽,這種私密的傾聽方式,與諾大的投影形成對比,像是建立了一條穿越形象表層的通道,探見意念顯化的過程。
這件作品可視為一件多層次的共同創作,第一層是分享者的想法與行動,第二層是刺青師賦予每個作品完成,第三層是攝影師拍下照片。而此作品做為最後呈現的最外層,音像則化為導遊般的角色,緩緩行向那可能蓬勃、可能幽微,也可能狂亂或意義不明的內心世界。
About the Artwork
The work The Body Medium in 2022 is a visual and auditory installation that explores the interplay of tattoos and motifs within the inner body. The artists interviewed 30 tattoo owners, turning their stories into a digital animation documenting how tattoos reflect private experiences and values. The video deconstructed, enlarged, and projected various tattoo images into space, offering diverse perspectives on this body art form. The projections not only provide an external view of tattoos but also invite visitors to delve into the personal narratives behind them. By closing to the sound installation, attendees can listen to the confessions of the participants, uncovering the intimate motives and stories that have shaped both the tattoos and their owners. The artist aims to depict the evolution of tattoos as a medium for channeling personal life experiences and reflecting individual values. The piece acts as a guide to the chaotic and ungraspable inner world of the human psyché.
