地點:台北當代藝術中心 TCAC (台北市大同區保安街49巷11號1樓,近捷運大橋頭站)
藝術家:徐璐+吳梓安

雙16mm投影機、超八、幻燈片、彩虹水稜鏡、拔罐玻璃、魁儡戲偶、卡帶機的現場即興放映—矜持的單頻影像各各放蕩交融,流光變幻。

本擴延電影放映演出(expanded cinema performance)以兩卷16mm台灣解嚴前的政宣片為結構,分別自美國與比利時孫逸仙中心搜集而來,佐以Super 8 之70年代色情片、功夫片、手工膠卷與幻燈片。觀眾將不會完整看到政宣片本身,而是被各種數位╱類比方法操弄過的影像與聲音。

本表演約20分鐘,為一個實驗電影製作計畫的初步發想階段的先行呈現。

【衿-】 袖子,引申為傳統婦女美德,如:衿持。
【光】電影生成的必要條件,例句:there’s the shadow cast the light
【é】的,閩南語
【流儀】字面聯想是流行的儀式,日語漢字指作風,例句:昔むかしの流儀,老派的作風


∞ 交易地帶 I ∞ :以物質交換媚影
TCAC 2019 年將以「交易地帶」(Trading Zone)串連點狀活動,試圖在挖掘不定期與偶發的點狀活動中蘊含著隱而未現的關聯。引用自科學哲學家彼得‧加里森(Peter Galison)提出的「交易地帶」,該理論提出不同領域的人在進行知識交換時,如同說著不同語言的人在進行貿易行為。而「交易地帶」則是不同領域的人達到區域性協調的地帶。這不單是空間指向的概念,也是知識在局部領域內得以交換與各取所需的象徵。

第一回合的交換,我們試圖在影像的物質性中找尋隱身的幽靈,讓他們妖嬌獻(現)身。
