作品介紹 | Artwork description:
無題 | Untitled
藝術家將會制作十個燈箱,她將會收集富有本地特色的物品,呈現變形的藝術,以似是而非的圖案,勾起人們的回憶。這些圖案或者符號將印制在燈箱,挂在半山芭商家的店屋外面。
A series of 10 light boxes with abstract images of local impressions. The art pieces are made entirely from everyday objects. Light boxes are chosen as the medium of presentation because the old Chinese advertisement signboards and light boxes in Pudu had immediately caught my attention and struck me as a distinctive characteristic of the area.
As I can’t read Chinese, the words look rather like abstract drawings to me—cryptic but beautiful. In this I see an analogy to my drawings. In general, I prefer my artworks to mingle with their surroundings rather than being too prominent. Therefore, my installation art pieces are specially created to blend into the existing kaleidoscope of signboards and light boxes. Their presence may not be instantly noticed, but when someone catches sight of them, they will appear somewhat mysterious, giving the passers-by something to puzzle about—a good way to start them thinking, and hopefully, it will open their eyes to the beauty of everyday objects around them.
