The Question of Beings 蒼生問
The Question of Beings is a new site-specific installation made up of various large-scale ink paintings that dominate the exhibition walls. The tension of these undefined countenance of portraits presents a dynamic study of human interaction combined with environmental changes, subsequently based on the interaction of self and others, exploring the identification of different values between self and the others, and on the compromisation of rights and interests...and more. In essence people must extend the way of individualism of “I think, therefore I am”, which exalts into the concept of ‘us’ as in “We ask, therefore we are.” By utilisation of such concepts as a future trend in making the world a better place, by reaching out to others, and listening to one an other.
「蒼生問」是此展全新限地製作的壁面繪畫裝置,超大尺幅的水墨畫作,佈滿整個展覽空間,透過張力十足的筆墨色彩材和表情模糊而同時瞪視前方的眾生面容,呈現人面對外在環境變化,面對自我與他者的共存互動,面對個人與群體的價值辯證,面對當下與未來的權益取捨....等等,諸多必須從個人主義式的「我思故我在」,進階發展成「我問,故我們同在」,一種利人利己,互相關注與傾聽的未來文化情境。
