攝影/Photography
流變
我們經常以照片來記錄某些時光,然而通常一張照片似乎只有顯現拍照的當下,是平面的,是無法留下當時的各種感官,亦是無法隨著歲月的推進而重新記錄對這些記憶的改變。照片當時的人可能現在已經不在了;照片中的植物可能長成不同的姿態了;照片中的老房子可能又做過幾次整修了;你已經再也想不起那些掉落的果實究竟是打到了你還是另外的人?不同的時空背景下再重新翻看同一張照片,卻混雜著不同的感受甚至不同的記憶。
因此,我將拍攝的照片折成具有觸感的形體,就像記憶在時間的長流中產生的變形;相紙的摺疊,如記憶有些部分依然清楚深刻、有些部份藏在黯影處、有些部分也許被遮蓋住、或者有些已經與其他記憶糾結在一起了…這些摺疊、拼接、排列所構成的,都是時間的形狀。
We usually use photographs as a way to recording. However, a photograph seems only reveal the moments when the photograph is taken, and it is flat. It can not save every sensation at that time, nor can it re-record the changes to the memories as time goes by. The person in the photograph might not exist anymore; the plants in the photograph might have grown into different shapes; the old house in the picture might have been renovated several times; you can no longer remember the fallen fruit has hit you or someone else. Looking at a same photograph again in different time and space background; it is mixed with different feelings and even different memories.
Therefore, I folded photographs as tactile objects, as if memories distorte and disformate as the time passes by. The folding of photograph paper is like memories, some parts are still clear, some parts are hidden under the shadow; the other parts might be covered,twisted or entangled with other new memories. These folding, splicing, rearrangement constitute the shape of time.

這系列作品不是以再現事實為目的,而是取材自一般不被注意到的物件、動作或時刻,促使人們停下腳步來思考那些存在生活周遭,可是卻容易被忽略的空間或是平凡的人、事、物。
我對於光線、色彩、結構的興趣多過於作品裡面的內容,也因此我在作品裡並不詮釋述說某個特定的想法,而是利用視覺圖像製造一股韻律,也許像詩句,或只是某個記憶的片段。
I eliminate those representation objects, narrative icons, or metaphor in this series of works. I don’t quest for representational truth but guide my viewers to the pure inner experience transcending from the objective reality and of reach to the void. These photographs are images captured from common objects and things surrounding myself. I aim to have audiences slow down the movement of the way of looking, feel the purity of color, bring the still images inward, and provoke the internal space and possibility.
