「每個人內在存在著另一個未知的我。」― 卡爾．榮格

瑞士心理學家卡爾．榮格提出個體社會化的過程中，將隨著外界給予的回饋，建構出人格面具(Persona)來符合社會期待，潛意識則會將所有自我(Ego)無法坦然接受、遺忘的一面封存在陰影(Shadow)中，形成另一個未知的「我」，只有接納全部的「我」才得以完整的存在。

陰影，作為個體社會化的副產物，在有意識的世界中創造無意識的行為中樞。現今運行在多數國家的資本主義，強調個體的存在以及追求利益極大化的概念，若視社會對於平權的倡議為其投射出的陰影，驅使整體社會面對的過程中，又曾何時停下腳步，正視背後那些躁動不安與勇往直前的靈魂?

從顯微鏡底下的細胞切片到基因序列，人類是基因的一個載體，遺傳因子的突變是生命繁衍的關鍵，徐若鈞透過日常媒材製作的多樣紙漿纖維製作成的球體，呼應著存在人類體內一個個相似卻相異的細胞彼此協作，成為一個生命體。許家玲面對母親的病痛，遊走在理性與感性之間，探索著那條看似無止盡的照護生活，在視覺與聽覺的刺激下，形象化潛伏在社會中的照顧者們無法言喻的心境。陳昱榮聚焦在愛滋病感染者的生命歷程，以光、聲響構成的裝置場域與文本，述說著社會集體對於非常態與未知的恐懼，病痛所帶來的困頓與限制，同時也是前往未來的嚮導，透過個體之間的對話，描繪生命的韌性與可能性。

本展企圖回應關於文化平權的從此還有以後，再度邀請2021年文化平權駐村藝術家徐若鈞、許家玲與陳昱榮，透過其視角剖析當代台灣社會與其陰影消長的共存關係，不斷地推動社會集體的演進，向日出行，是一條走向陰影的路途。

“In each of us there is another whom we do not know.” ― Carl Gustav Jung

Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung pointed out that during socialization, individuals construct Personas according to the feedback they receive from the outside world to meet societal expectations. At the same time, the subconscious seals aspects that the Ego cannot accept or forget in the “shadow,” forming another unknown “self.” Only when we embrace the different parts of ourselves can the “self” become complete.

As a side-effect that emerges as individuals experience socialization, the shadow is like a centrum that generates unconscious behaviors in the world of consciousness. Capitalism, which prevails in most countries of the modern world, emphasizes individuality and the pursuit of maximum benefit and profit. If initiatives that uphold equality are seen as the shadow of Capitalism that requires our attention, perhaps we should stop and look at the restless and determined souls?

From cell slice to gene sequence examined through the microscope, we realize that human beings are vessels of genes, and the mutation of genetic factors is critical to the proliferation of life. Using everyday paper as her creative medium, Hsu Jo-Chun uses different paper fibers to create various spheres that refer to the collaboration between similar but different cells that exist and form into the body. Faced with her mother’s illness, Hsu Jia-Ling wanders between rationality and sensibility, exploring the unending life of a caregiver. Under the stimulation of sights and sounds, the forms allude to the ineffable inner states of the caregivers in society. Chen Yu-Jung spotlights the life of HIV patients through installations and texts composed of lights and sounds. Chen’s works not only feature the collective social fear towards the abnormal and the unknown and the distress and limitations brought forth by illness but also act as a guide that navigates us into the future, portraying the tenacity and possibilities of life through dialogues between individuals.

This exhibition highlights the present and future of cultural equality. By presenting the works by artists of the 2021 Cultural Diversity and Inclusivity Residency: Hsu Jo-Chun, Hsu Jia-Ling, and Chen Yu-Jung, this exhibition explores the fluctuating coexistence of Taiwan’s society and its shadow, encouraging us to move forward as a society. Ultimately, the pathway to shadow will guide us toward the sun.
