■ 展覽介紹
專職創作前，藝術家曾在劇組兼職電影美術，除了陳設場景、製作道具、處理質感外，「研究劇本以創造藏有其線索的空間」是最抽象不易且搬弄虛實的課題，也對我於日後從事視覺藝術有所啟發。2022年，藝術家將至魁北克進行電影編劇的駐村計畫，此前導個展《沒有＿＿的地方》則是一個如同編劇功課的空間實驗。
位於寶藏巖內的邊境9號是一幢留有花磚地板的舊宅，也是一處白牆環繞的展間，而其中乘載的多重時空與事件，使人物的存在不再最為重要。儘管角色研究是編劇必然，猶如進入社區創作理應田調，藝術家更關注空間本身的意念和符號，在敘事之外尋找可能，並以「空」的形象再現；於此，再現並不作為存在的證明，也無關某人的故事，而是試圖回應電影美術的核心——虛構場景、寫實氛圍；也反映電影編劇的本質——戲假情真。在邊境9號，「空」是辯證虛實的過程、是無中生有再抹其痕跡、是感知也是意念。此展以影像為基礎，為一現地製作之空間裝置，在切換媒材與形式之間，模糊道具與物件、場景與展間、情節與記憶的界線。

■ Artist Statement
Before becoming a full-time artist, the artist worked in some filmmaking crews as an art director. Besides setting scenes, making props, and handling the artistic texture of the film, “to find the clues that make up the space through studying the script” is the most challenging part of the job as the space appears to be an abstract concept flirting between the real and the fake. Later on, the study of space become part of my practice in visual art. In 2022, the artist will be participating in a residency program in Quebec as a screenwriter. “Moldy Walls” is a solo exhibition that serves as a prelude to my residency research project. It is an experiment of space and an investigation of a screenwriter.
In Treasure Hill, the Frontier Gallery No.9 is an old house with patterned tiled floors and white walls. The space carried layers of everyday lives and events throughout the past and the present and made a contributor's existence not the most important. Although, the research of a character is essential for a screenplay, like an artist entering a new community to create artworks through local research. The artist wants to more focus on the spirit and symbols of space by finding possibilities beyond the narrative and reproduce it through the approach of “spacing”, where reproduction does not serve as proof of existence, nor does it have to do with the narration of a character. It is an attempt to respond to the essence of film art - the staged scenes and realistic atmosphere - a reflection of the nature of screenwriting - the surreality of reality. In Frontier Gallery No.9, the method of “spacing” becomes a debate of existence that is born out of nothing and wiped by its traces. It is a perception and a spirit that provides insight into reality itself. “Moldy Walls” found its foundation in the use of the image. It is an on-site installation that blurs the boundaries between props and objects, scenes and exhibition room, plots and memories through switching between media and form.
