韓國藝術家莉景(Ligyung)的沉浸式個展「時空蝕:光的間界」,聚焦呈現單一現地製作裝置,深入探討時間的二元性,探索創造與滅絕、記憶與遺忘的交會時刻。在展覽中,藝術家以「每道光中的陰影有多深?」進行根本性的探問,將其擴延至時間性(temporality)的研究。
展覽標題「時空蝕」是對此一探索的適切概括,令人聯想到太陽暫時受遮蔽的天體現象:「蝕」,強調光轉瞬而逝的本質,以及時間的循環模式。展覽揭示時間並非以線性方式推進,而是呈現出一種循環、具節奏和出乎意料的轉變,形成複雜的交互作用,反映了「蝕」本身的起伏消長。藝術家藉此邀請觀眾一同體驗光與物質轉變的視覺交響——自然元素及瞬逝狀態的一種匯流,而線性時間和其連續性皆消融於其中。
藝術家運用肖楠木焚香粉以及改變建築格局,創造出永恆與無常之間的感官對話。在兩個展間裡,地面上擺放著象徵完整與破碎的概念性「高塔」,上面刻有銘文。隨著展覽進行,高塔上的肖楠焚香粉銘文會因觀眾互動而逐漸改變和轉化,視覺上體現時間的流逝及其循環痕跡。藝術家形容其創作手法是一種「將物質轉化為精神存在的奮力掙扎」,透過善用自然光和建築空間進行仔細設置來實現。展覽在台北當代藝術館具有豐富歷史的空間中展開,旨在透過哲學思考和感官經驗,反思時間、記憶與無常的本質。
「時空蝕:光的間界」完美無縫地融合藝術創作和哲學探討,提供深刻而發人省思的觀展經驗,邀請觀眾思索時光的移動和我們對時間的感受。這趟探索之旅引領觀者探索自身與時間的關係,思考萬物的無常,最終也進一步對現實的本質,提出深長的探問。
藝術家介紹
莉景
莉景(b. 1969,韓國)現於布魯塞爾和首爾生活與工作,擁有倫敦切爾西藝術學院(Chelsea College of Arts and Design)的哲學碩士及美術碩士學位。莉景因其對光、空間與知覺的探索而聞名,曾在德國新媒體藝術中心(Zentrum für Kunst und Medien)、倫敦維多利亞.米羅計畫空間—碼頭路 14號(Victoria Miro Project Space_14 Wharf Rd),及首爾韓國國立現代美術館(National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea)等重要機構展出。其主要創作計畫有:2018年平昌冬季奧林匹克運動會的「白南準 X 莉景」、東京愛馬仕銀座店「Le Forum」藝廊個展,還有為了紀念韓歐建交60周年而為布魯塞爾凱旋門立面創作的光雕投影作品。她的作品曾在光州雙年展、釜山雙年展,及歐洲和亞洲的多個展覽中展出。
作為藝術家,莉景以光與空間為主要媒介來探索生命的二元性。透過作品呈現光與黑暗、存在與缺席之間的關係,她探問「相信我們所見的究竟有多不完美」。其藝術實踐不以華麗眩目的感官遊戲為主,反而追求物質與精神邊界的探索,藉由光來表達她對人性與社會的哲學思考。雖然她的作品中不以實物進行創作,卻能從對社會與人性本質的洞見出發,檢視現象與現實之間的關係,並揭示我們生活中的根本議題。對藝術家來說,光不只是視覺元素,而是揭露生活隱密的面向、探究存在本質的媒介。
「Chrono Eclipse: The Light Between」Exhibition Introduction
Chrono Eclipse: The Light Between is an immersive solo exhibition by Korean artist Ligyung, featuring a single site-specific installation. The exhibition delves into the duality of time, exploring moments where creation and extinction, memory and oblivion intersect. Driven by the fundamental question, "How deep runs the shadow in every light?", the artist expands into an investigation of temporality in this exhibition.
The exhibition title, "Chrono Eclipse," aptly encapsulates this exploration. It evokes the celestial phenomenon of an eclipse, where the sun is momentarily obscured, highlighting the fleeting nature of light and the cyclical patterns of time. As the exhibition reveals, time is not a linear progression, but rather a complex interplay of cycles, rhythms, and unexpected shifts, much like the ebb and flow of an eclipse itself. The artist thereby invites viewers to experience a visual symphony of light and material transformation—a convergence of natural elements and ephemeral states where the linearity and continuity of time dissolve.
Using Xiaonan wood incense powder and architectural interventions, the artist opens a sensory dialogue between permanence and impermanence. In the two gallery spaces, there are conceptual “towers” with inscriptions lying on the floor, symbolizing completeness and fragmentation respectively. As the exhibition progresses, the inscriptions written in Xiaonan incense powder on the towers undergo gradual changes and transformations due to audience interaction, visually embodying the passage of time and its cyclical traces. The artist's approach to art as "a struggle to transform matter into spirit" is realized through the meticulous installation utilizing natural light and architectural space. Unfolding in the historically layered space of MoCA TAIPEI, this exhibition offers a meditation on the nature of time, memory, and impermanence, through philosophical contemplation and sensory experience.
By seamlessly blending artistic expression with philosophical inquiry, Chrono Eclipse: The Light Between brings a profound and thought-provoking experience which invites audiences to contemplate the passage and the perception of time. This exploration prompts viewers to question their own relationship with time, to consider the impermanence of all things, and ultimately, to grapple with the profound questions of the nature of reality itself.
Artist Biography
Ligyung
Ligyung (b. 1969, South Korea) lives and works in Brussels and Seoul. She holds an MPhil and MA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Arts, London. Renowned for her explorations of light, space, and perception, she has exhibited at major institutions including ZKM (Germany), Victoria Miro Project Space_14 Wharf Rd (London), and MMCA Seoul. Significant projects include Nam June Paik X Ligyung at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, a solo exhibition at Ginza Maison Hermes Le Forum in Tokyo, and a projection mapping at the facade of the Triumphal Arch in Brussels commemorating 60 years of Korea-EU diplomatic relations. Her work has appeared in the Gwangju and Busan Biennales and numerous exhibitions across Europe and Asia.
Ligyung is an artist who explores the duality of life through light and space as her primary media. Questioning "how imperfect it is to believe what we see," she manifests the relationship between light and darkness, presence and absence through her works. Rather than spectacular sensory play, she pursues artistic practice that explores the boundaries between matter and spirit, expressing philosophical contemplation about humanity and society through light. Her works, while absent of concrete objects, draw insights into society and human nature, examining the relationship between phenomenon and reality while revealing the fundamental issues inherent in our lives. For the artist, light functions not merely as a visual element, but as a medium that reveals the hidden aspects of life and explores the essence of being. -
