▓▒░ 展覽簡介 Exhibition ░▒▓
《以身試驗》描述金勇自 2023 年起，以人體藝術作為起點，逐步探索人與環境、身體與觀看之間關係的創作歷程。創作初期，身體之於他更像是一種媒介。他並不介意裸體被觀看，卻也因為創作而開始注意自己的體態、鏡頭下的表現與身體的可塑性，並在這樣的過程裡，驚覺自己其實與身體十分陌生。透過與不同攝影師的合作，一面尋找創作中主體與客體之間的關係，一面也逐漸摸索自己與身體的距離。
與此同時，他持續在社群媒體上分享作品與生活，並於 Threads 上每天發布對鏡自拍的刷牙照。原本無心的日常紀錄，卻在某次貼文引來洪水般的流量後，成為另一個實驗現場。社群媒體讓他得以窺見網路社會如何想像身體的界線，也使自拍不再只是看向自己，而成為測試大眾對身體自主、凝視與解放可承受範圍的一面魔鏡。
兩年多的創作與嘗試，逐漸拉近了他與身體之間的距離，也讓這段關係從陌生走向欣賞與喜愛。於是，他開始試圖從被觀看轉向觀看自己：肌肉與贅肉的線條、皮膚的顆粒與紋理、姿勢的可達性——《以身試驗》所試探的，不只是社會觀看身體的方式，也是他究竟有多了解自己。
Body as Experiment
Body as Experiment traces Gin-Yung's creative journey since 2023, beginning with nude photography and gradually expanding into an exploration of the relationships between human beings and the environment, the body and the act of looking. In the early stages of this practice, the body functioned more as a medium. Gin-Yung did not mind being seen nude, yet through making these works she began to pay closer attention to her physique, her presence before the camera, and the body's plasticity. In the process, she came to realize how unfamiliar she actually was with her own body. Through collaborations with different photographers, she not only searched for the shifting relationship between subject and object within image-making, but also slowly began to negotiate the distance between herself and her body.
At the same time, she continued to share both her work and daily life on social media, posting mirror selfies of herself brushing her teeth on Threads every day. What began as an unintentional form of everyday documentation became another site of experimentation after one post drew a flood of attention. Social media allowed her to glimpse how online society imagines the boundaries of the body, and turned the selfie from a tool of self-observation into a kind of magic mirror—one that tests the thresholds of public reception regarding bodily autonomy, the gaze, and liberation.
Over more than two years of making and experimenting, the distance between Gin-Yung and her body gradually narrowed, and that relationship moved from estrangement toward appreciation and affection. She began, then, to shift from being looked at to looking at herself: the lines of muscle and flesh, the grain and texture of skin, the reach of bodily posture. What **Body as Experiment** probes is not only the way society looks at the body, but also the extent to which she truly knows herself.
