【展覽論述Statement】
2022年,我與絕對空間以及來自北海道的藝術家和策展人共同參與了一場線上合作展覽,並創作了一件名為《城市946》的作品。這件作品以連結台南市和我所居住的札幌市的地標性建築及景觀為主題。

在台南,我被眾多日治時期的建築所深深感動,這些建築已經成為地標。同時,我也開始思考為什麼台灣這個國家能夠接納如此多樣的歷史。因此,在這次的駐地創作中,我的重點放在學習這座城市的歷史,並親自走訪各個地點。
當我走在台南的街道上,透過攝影捕捉這座城市的精髓時,我感覺自己找到了一部分問題的答案。台南是台灣最早開發的地區之一,城中散佈著許多日治時期以前的古老建築。這些建築物被保存得很好,有些則經過翻修,我能真實感受到歷史在日常生活中的脈動。寺廟的數量之多也讓我感到驚訝,這反映出信仰與祈禱深深植根於台南人的生活中。台南包容多元文化與價值觀,這顯然源自於它的多樣歷史背景,受到西方、中國和日本的影響,以及來自移民和原住民族的多元文化融合。

對我來說,成長於僅有150年歷史的現代都市札幌,這是我第一次長時間待在如此具有深厚歷史的地方。台南的氣候與文化完全不同,這座城市讓我留下了深刻的印象,讓我體會到「溫故知新」的精神。在日本,許多古老的城鎮和建築正被拆除以進行重建。我理解,由於氣候和不斷變更的抗震標準,日本在保護舊建築方面面臨困難,但隨著這些歷史景觀的消失,我仍然感到一絲失落。

如今,我們已經進入「人類世」,這是一個由人類經濟活動和核試驗顯著改變環境的全新時代。我認為,與其進行大量耗能的「拆除與重建」,城市應該採取「溫故知新」的哲學,從歷史中學習,創造未來。
受到「太陽龐克」(Solarpunk)這一體現自然與科技共生的科幻類型的啟發,我創作了兩件名為《城市 22》的作品。這些作品結合了人類與自然共存的理想未來,與台南充滿活力、美好日常的景象,展現了多元文化的融合。「22」這個數字代表了台南的緯度,也與我之前創作的《城市 946》相呼應。

最後,我想對絕對空間藝術進駐的所有成員致以最誠摯的感謝,感謝你們將我從北國「召喚」而來,並給予我這次美妙的機會。

Today, with the spread of digital devices such as smartphones, photography has become a familiar medium, allowing us to easily record our daily lives. While photographs act as external memory devices for many people, photography continues to expand its role as a medium for self-expression. However, no matter how much technology advances, a single photograph is nothing more than a record of a moment in the continuity of time.

I attempt to extend photographic elements using collage techniques, superimposing photographs of different times and various spaces to expand senses of time and space that cannot be expressed in a single photograph, and by not using elements other than photographs. Further, this form of expressionmdashwhich ignores the laws of physics that cannot be photographed in realitymdashdraws from the ideas of a Surrealist manifesto written by Andreacute Breton (1896-1966). Using photography as a medium that records reality, Surrealismmdasha form of expression that many artists have engaged with through paintingmdashcan become more familiar in todayrsquos world, where photography is easily enjoyed.

In his Surrealist manifesto, Breton states his intention to liberate human beings by expressing the subconscious world of dreams and illusions, rather than a real world ruled by reason.

By reconstructing a real landscape that anyone can see with their eyes, I create an expression that, while unrealistic, suggests a world that may exist as an extension of everyday life. In doing so, I hope my work will liberate those living in the present.

【李旭彬 Lee, Hsu-Pin】
生於臺灣臺南,現居臺南。藝術創作者/策展人,海馬迴光畫館創辦人,目前任教於臺南藝術大學材質創作與設計系及高雄師範大學跨領域藝術研究所。先後在紐約、舊金山以及義大利學習傳統攝影。2000年起陸續於國際攝影節及攝影博物館展出,2010年以災難風景成為國家文藝基金會創作計畫獎助,並分別於2016年臺北雙年展及2017年於巴黎攝影博覽會中展出,作品由德意志證券交易所攝影基金會典藏。
作品著重反身性思考,以影像與文字互為註釋的方式開展敘事,以山水遠景,模擬古典攝影甚或早期無名攝影者的風景紀實影像,以古典攝影形制對應今日攝影的處境,特意給定的作品尺幅,隱然要求的是觀看者必須駐足「在場細勘」,隨像細讀。作品中的靜謐,引領觀者重新思考古典風景攝影中視覺經驗,看似無所敘說的場景,悠悠地感受著地殼長時間變動中的細微痕跡。
A native of Tainan, Taiwan, Lee Hsu-Pin still resides in his hometown today. A working artist and curator.Lee has exhibited at international photography festivals and museums since 2000. In 2010, he received a National Culture and Arts Foundation creative project grant for his 2010 Disastrous Landscapes work, exhibiting the resulting work ndash now housed in the collection of the Gruppe Deutsche Boumlrse Photographic Foundation ndash at the 2016 Taipei Biennial and 2017 Photo Paris.
Lee Hsu-Pin takes a highly introspective approach, unfolding narratives alternately with images and words as annotations. He uses distant scenic landscapes to emulate classical photography, or the landscape documentary images of early anonymous photographers he matches classical photographic forms with todayrsquos photographic climate, deliberately sizing the works, so as to subtly demand that viewers stop in their tracks to ldquocarefully inspect at the scene,rdquo and to conduct careful readings of the images. The tranquil quality of the works leads viewers to re-think the visual experience of classic landscape photography taking in scenes with no apparent narrative, easily feeling the delicate traces of the earthrsquos changes over time.
