Memory of Symbols
There are historical site disappearing from our memories as the city moves on developing. They are like objects covered by dust and thus no longer recognized. In the work of Memory of Symbols, I wash up the muded tiles of a swimming pool in He Ping Island, Keelung, and then reprint these tiles with early Tawainese patterns found in local residential houses. The way I apply is sort of the reverse of graffiti. The result of washing up and reprinting tiles is to reappear the beautiful memory of swimmers' childhood and the historical past while people watching these newly printed tiles.
符碼記憶/基隆
許多歷史建物隨著都市的發展之中,逐漸消失在你我的記憶裡,如同物件不斷被灰塵堆積,分辨不出原有樣貌。
在《符碼記憶》作品中,以基隆的和平島作為創作範圍,藝術家透過基隆當地的「台灣早期磁磚」樣式結合「反向塗鴉」手法,重現歷史輪廓的符碼記憶在和平島游泳池,讓遊玩的民眾欣賞作品的同時,能回想起童年美好的回憶。
