「安全室」展覽介紹
倚靠著掩體，循著防空避難的路徑指示，一步步低身踏入空間的內部。在災難、戰爭、個人危機與社會關係的交織場景中，「安全室」試著勾勒出一個如圖層般堆疊，卻也像板塊裂隙一樣劃分你我的邊界。沿著這樣的輪廓，在不斷位移、覆蓋、重塑的動態中建構出能暫時阻絕威脅的藏身之地。透過這樣的他方（elsewhere），展覽不僅拆解保護與隔離的界限，同時也延伸我們對於災難的想像。

安全的他方，似乎總是反身地暗示危險的現身。「安全室」從「災難」出發，探問一種臺灣視野的災難會是什麼樣貌。從烙印在這塊土地上的威權痕跡，到不可輕忽的戰爭威脅與頻仍的自然災害，這些都時時刻刻扭轉我們熟悉的生活軌跡、調動你我的關係與互動方式。面對這些人造的、自然的、關係的力量，我們該以何種姿態與之共處？又該如何在其中找到棲身之地？

近三十年，臺灣經歷過地震、風災、政治動盪等多重挑戰，展覽透過作品與事件回應這些威脅。策展團隊集結了來自日本、瑞士與臺灣的七位藝術家，從不同層面的災難所集結出的經驗進行預示。邀請觀眾進入一個既遠離危險的庇護之所，卻也無比靠近威脅的前線陣地。在不斷緊縮與擴張的邊線上，進一步探討災難後的治理與個人應對的方式，以及相異質地的災變所輻射出的另類關係。「安全室」所揭露的是我們與災難之間的微妙距離，這使得我們必須不斷切身地將自己的身體置於某種前沿之處，並不斷改變自身的戰鬥位置，而或許，這正是屬於我們的治理與生活之道。

「Safe Room」Exhibition Introduction
Leaning against the shelter while following the air raid evacuation instructions, one lowers the body and carefully enters this space. In scenes that intertwine disasters, wars, personal crises, and social relations, Safe Room illustrates a complex reality characterized by overlapping layers and tectonic fissures that separate individuals. Following this framework, the exhibition showcases a refuge that temporarily protects against imminent threats within a dynamic landscape that is constantly morphing, obscuring, and shaping itself. By envisioning such an alternate space, the exhibition not only erodes the boundaries of safety and isolation but also broadens our imagination of disasters.

The notion of a safe elsewhere often reflexively implies potential danger. Safe Room starts with the idea of “disaster” and explores what disasters might entail from a Taiwanese viewpoint. From the authoritarian marks imprinted on this land to looming war threats and recurring natural disasters, these factors continuously reshape the trajectory of life as we are familiar with and alter our relationships and interactions with one another. When coping with these man-made, natural, and relational forces, how do we coexist with them? How do we find a safe space for ourselves within them?

Over the past thirty years, Taiwan has faced numerous challenges, including earthquakes, typhoons, and political turmoil. Through a variety of artworks and events, the exhibition aims to address these threats. The curatorial team brings together seven artists from Japan, Switzerland, and Taiwan, each offering insights drawn from their different experiences with disasters, inviting visitors into a sheltering space away from danger yet unsettlingly close to the frontier of these threats. By navigating the increasingly approaching and expanding boundaries, the exhibition examines the concept of post-disaster governance, individual coping mechanisms, and the alternative relationships formed by catastrophes of different natures. Safe Room reveals the subtle distance between us and potential calamities, urging us to consistently position ourselves on a frontier and adjust our defensive strategies and stances. This, perhaps, reflects our approach to governance and living.
