「越洋信使」為藝術家林羿綺歷時三年籌備的個展。本計畫從藝術家的家族脈絡出發，透過追溯家中早期往來的越洋書信，拼湊出金門出洋者遷移至東南亞地區的漂流路徑。藝術家成為信使，依著陳舊書信上模糊的地址線索，分別踏訪了長輩移居的印尼與新加坡兩地，透過創作呈現出移民者和原鄉親人間被地域、國籍分隔的思慕之情，與現今後代產生在地認同的新生活樣貌。

本次展出作品包含於印尼拍攝的《信使I-返向漂流與南洋彼岸》，以及兩件於新加坡和金門所拍攝的全新製作。其中《信使II-永恆漫遊與熱帶追尋》使用多頻道影像結合聲響，聚焦凝視新加坡繁忙都市中的無人風景，結合在地採集的對話與聲響，創作出多頻道的影像散記；而以金門原鄉為背景所創作的《雙生》，則發揮了林羿綺在影像創作中的跨界特質，透過電影的場面調度與劇場式的表演，在錄像藝術的創作面向上，呈現出其特有的魔幻氛圍。


Hong-gah museum is pleased to present Selamat, the messenger over the sea, the brand new project-based solo exhibition of artist Lin, Yi-Chi. Lin’s family moved from Kinmen to Taiwan decades ago. In the early years, many Kinmenese would travel to Southeast Asia to search for job opportunities. Such decision left them no choice but to move away from home and put down roots in another country for good. Acting as a messenger, Lin visited the illegible addresses on the family letters, and was led to the Bangka Island of Indonesia and Singapore. Along with her family’s trans-island migration in Southeast Asia, the bloodline becomes a connector that transcends beyond geography, with countless family letters serving as carrier containing the Kinmenese diaspora’s memories. This project is a portrayal of the forgotten history in migration, and seeks to incorporate magical realism film’s features into the history-oriented context.
