催眠
催眠是精神分析師在進行治療的時候, 通過調動人被意識壓抑下的無意識，將蘊藏在人體內潛在的能力發揮出來的一種方法。此次展覽的主題“催眠”旨在以此種的方法去探討隱藏在文化符號下的海峽兩岸當代藝術中的個體性話語。

畢竟在今天這種政治意識形態統治力逐漸削弱，個體意識高漲的氛圍中，藝術創作總是緊密地維繫著藝術家個體在無意識中的心理歷程。我們通過“催眠”來對兩岸藝術家們近年來在攝影和錄影領域的各種創作進行具體分析，通過回避地緣，政治差異等概念，以透析藝術家在面對“文化身份問題”的焦慮時所產生的個體心理差異。並以此來超越藝術家在意識領域中的關於文化身份的想像訴求，而探究藝術家在無意識中潛藏的個體能量。
Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a mental state during the hypnotherapy when the hypnotist unleashed the inner potential of the patient through calling out the repressed unconsciousness by his/her consciousness. Hypnosis, the title also the theme of this exhibition in here is using this method to treat and discuss the individual discourse concealed under the cultural symbol of both Taiwan and Mainland‘s contemporary art.

As today’s atmosphere, domination of political ideology is gradually weakened and individual consciousness keeps expanding; artistic creativity always is the bond of spirit experience of individuality of artists under unconsciousness. We use the concept “hypnosis” to give a close analyze of varies photographs and video installations works by artists from both sides of the straits; we evade concepts such us geographical or political difference in order to emerge and analyze individual psychological disparity of artists when facing “Culture identity” problems. Here by using this concept to break through their pursuing of imagery of culture identity when artists are in their conscious sphere. Then delve into the underlying individual energy in their unconscious level.
