▓▒░ 展覽簡介 Exhibition ░▒▓

2019 年底，在中國東北進駐創作期間，我開著車沿著鴨綠江一路前行。那是一條劃開兩個世界的天然邊界。當我拍下這一側的風景時，目光總是不自覺地飄向對岸的那個國家。及其有幸在駐村結束之際，我決定跨過那條江，親身去記錄北韓。

起初，我以為整個計畫會完全聚焦在鴨綠江本身，但後來發現，在北韓拍下的照片，恰好與我在中國捕捉到的風景形成了完美的對照。這兩組影像以一種我始終未曾預料到的方式，彼此遙相呼應。

《閃耀吧！瘋狂的鑽石》 錄像作品擷取了北韓旅遊的隨拍畫面，在近乎旅行紀錄的影像節奏中，搭配從當地政治文宣中擷取的標語作為字幕。透過語境的重組，將創作者在旅途中所經歷的矛盾與衝擊，直接推演至觀者的體驗之中。

《模板展演》 拍攝於旅途中參訪北韓中學時，學生獻給外賓的整場歌舞表演。經由後期的重新剪輯，降低單純的紀錄視角，進而營造出一種在螢幕前觀賞綜藝節目的即視感。

At the end of 2019, during an artist residency in Northeast China, I drove along the Yalu River—a natural boundary that cleaves two entirely different worlds. While photographing the scenery on this side, my gaze was constantly drawn to the country across the water. By a stroke of luck near the end of my residency, I decided to cross the river and document North Korea firsthand.

At first, I thought this project would center entirely on the river itself. However, I soon realized that the photos taken in North Korea formed a perfect counterpart to the landscapes I had captured in China. In ways I could never have anticipated, these two sets of images echoed and complemented each other.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond
This video work features casual footage from my travels in North Korea. Set to the rhythm of a travel documentary, the video incorporates subtitles culled from local political propaganda slogans. By restructuring these textual contexts, the work directly translates the contradictions and psychological shock I experienced during the journey into the viewer's own perception.

The Template Show
This work was filmed during a visit to a North Korean middle school, capturing a complete song-and-dance performance staged by students for foreign guests. Through post-production re-editing, the piece moves away from a purely documentary perspective, instead evoking a sense of déjà vu—as if the viewer were watching a staged televised variety show.

▓▒░ 藝術家簡介 Artist ░▒▓

生於1984年，臺北人，自由攝影師，現居臺北。

以往的作品慣以快照的直觀視角捕捉私人生活的跳躍片段，並探討個人情感如何回應不同的時間設定。從觀看層面講，此類親近日常的拍攝方式映現出的模糊、閃爍畫面是對人眼瞥視經驗的模仿。那些看似“索然無味”的現實幻影代表著經驗範疇內出乎意料的偶發事件，其審美快感來自於攝影師為觀眾設置的特定心理距離。

近期的媒材轉向錄像作品，關註人造環境，記錄它們脫離生產後作為事件背景被重新安置的場景。通過這些拍攝，提出身份不僅僅是找到我們來自哪裡; 且是定位我們的落腳點以及我們如何適應它的過程。

Born in 1984 in Taipei, Taiwan, the artist is a freelance photographer currently based in Taipei.

Their past works often utilized an intuitive snapshot perspective to capture fragmented, fleeting moments of private life, exploring how personal emotions respond to different constructs of time. Visually, this intimate, everyday photographic style—characterized by blurred and flickering imagery—mimics the experience of a fleeting glance. These seemingly "mundane" illusions of reality represent unexpected contingencies within our lived experience, generating an aesthetic pleasure born from the specific psychological distance the photographer establishes with the audience.

Recently shifting focus toward video art, their work now centers on man-made environments, capturing how artificial landscapes are relocated and repurposed as backdrops for unfolding events after they are detached from production. Through these visual explorations, the artist proposes that identity is not merely about discovering where we come from, but also about the ongoing process of locating where we land and how we adapt to it.
