《死者的姿態》連晉逸蔡幸芳創作聯展

展覽簡介｜
本展覽以平面繪畫、錄像裝置及攝影為主要創作媒介，表達目前對於生命的想像及體悟，相信「失去」不代表真正的結束，而會是另一段記憶或生命的開始，也以一場象徵性的告別式，悼念曾在生命中消逝的人、事與青春。

我們同在踽踽而行的旅途上，試著回首那段最為深刻的失去，儘管當初的無限憂傷與救贖始終在拉鋸，難以揮別，相信現在取而代之的會是以釋然的心情來看待一切的自然運行，苦澀終究會熟成為另一種釋懷。

Introduction｜
The artist uses graphics, video clips and pictures as the primary media on this exhibition to express the current image and comprehension of life. She believes that “to lose” does not lead to the end. Instead, there will be another beginning of life and memory. We grieve over the people, the memory and our youth in life by our symbolic parting ceremony.

We all travel lonely and slowly on the path of life. We all try to look back at what we had lost and what we felt the most, even though we are still struggling between the sadness and past redemption. We still believe these will be replaced to be relieved. Every bitter thing we’ve been through will all be released one day.

創作理念｜

蔡幸芳/
關於生命與記憶，就像單方向的時間軸與不可預測的生命裡交會後所發生的狀態，只要是存在於這空間的物質，都將日復一日地慢慢變質，直到最後耗弱殆盡，化為烏有。將死亡的來臨至結束的過程中，難以釋懷中所萌生的片刻記憶，集結醞釀成使人夜夜低迴的回憶，「回憶」便也讓逝去的生命與存在者再度擁有重新共處的機會。
曾經充滿希望的一段關係成了絕望，早已習慣他的存在到最後不存在，我無從推測生命的好壞與變質，只能不斷掩飾，彌補看似完整的遺憾，因為這一切都是自然運行的狀態；用創作表現對於生命消逝後的想像，以生命告別式的方式來紀念那場曾經蒼白腐爛的過往，表達這段記憶交錯造成的巨大迴響，以最真切的儀式來悼念那漸漸發酵散去的憂愁，最後明朗的靈魂一定會再將殘破失落的身軀撫平。

自小喜愛觀察有機體的蠶食腐敗消逝的過程，看它們正當熟成旺盛時，因為時間的催化或自然物種侵蝕，讓腐物做為孕育下一代的溫床，形成生死循環的現象；也著迷於他們經過陽光和雨水的洗禮後，崩壞的質地，逐漸膨漲發酵後的橫流，直到僅剩的灰燼殘存，最後消失殆盡，我想這就是大自然質量循環的狀態，代表它還真真實實的存在，但卻早已不存在。其實每個空間或時刻裡都會有生命消逝，只是分解後就彷彿像不曾存在過一般，記錄這些有機體的質地轉變，也同時像在記錄自己，因為死亡總是不可預測，生命也會在持續運行的時間裡慢慢耗弱。

Artist Statement｜

Xing Fang, Tsai
Life and memory are just like the status when the unidirectional timeline and the unpredictable life come together. Everything that exits in this space will be changing day by day, until it dies and disappears. We are in the process of dying until the day we die. It will be hard for us to relive every piece of the moments we experienced. And these pieces of moments become memory. The memory lets the passing life get back to the owner again.
A hopeful relationship becomes hopeless. His existence is what I used to become something that never existed. I have no idea if life is going to be good or bad. I can only keep disguising it until it looks perfect. It is all because of nature.
To express the imagination after death, to memorize our deadly passing with ceremonies, and to express this huge reflection: these were all made by memories. I mourn the sadness with the most sincere ceremony little by little. The bright soul will finally calm the body full of sadness.

Chin Yi,Lien
Since I’ve been a child, I’ve loved watching organisms decompose. When the bodies turn mature, they get eaten away by nature. These rotten bodies then become the warm beds of the next generation. This becomes the circle of life. I am also fascinated when the organisms are washed by the sun and rain. The organisms’ texture collapses and the cross-flow gradually swells and ferments and only the residual ash remains until one day they vanish. I believe this is the circulation of nature. It presents lives as they actually exist, though they do not exist anymore. Actually, there are lives passing and going in every space at every moment. But these lives just cease to exist after they decompose. To record these organisms’ lives is just like recording myself because death is always unpredictable. Meanwhile, life is also getting weaker and weaker as it is rolling along.
