展覽介紹│
我對於探索作者與觀者之間的共同創造很感興趣，如同點子、想法、情感以及感知上的交流。
一切的人、事、時、地、物都可能因為敘事的連結或發明而交織在一起。身處在一個陌生之地，我時常基於眼見之實，沈浸於建構虛與實的連結。
此展覽中，想邀請您以觀者角度，來思考此作品能有什麼樣的想像，無論是線性的、多面向的、完整與否，也思考在與展示的作品的進一步互動之中，可能產生的結論。歡迎您一同撰寫、討論、回應、分享以及視覺化您的結論。回應的方式可以在醉美空間Facebook線上回應、在展覽空間中留言、與我或與彼此對話、拍攝照片或小短片、繪畫、說故事、寫詩或散文等等任何方式。
故事被敘述或被理解的方式通常是線性的，而時間軸也可能改變，但內在的邏輯能使我們在角色的發展或演變維持在主軸上。故事可以有程度上的差異，就像是一趟驚奇的旅程，其中的簡樸或光彩都可使人為之驚豔。純視覺敘述無需任何文字、更不需要標題就足以產出各式各樣的故事，甚至透過圖像，我們無意識下就可創造一個故事。反之亦然，簡單的一張圖都可激起動靜態的回應，我們所擁有的敘事能力或想像力是無邊際的，故事可以或明或暗、可怕或歡樂、也可充滿神秘，又甚至能揭露出一個美麗或感人的事物。
歡迎您無論是留下一個字、兩個字、一首詩或是任何您所觀察到的，不管任何語言，請您一同貢獻於這個正在被分享的故事吧！
I am interested in exploring the co-creation of the author and the viewer - as a contractual exchange of ideas, thoughts, emotions and perceptions. All things, events, times, people and places may be joined by narrative links or inventions. Often, as a stranger in unfamiliar places, I am drawn to construct imaginary connections between things, narrative fictions, based on visual facts.
In this exhibition I want to invite you, the viewer, to consider what fictions can arise from the active viewing of this work - whether the story is linear, multi-dimensional, complete or incomplete...what imaginary conclusions can be drawn by interacting more closely with the visual material on display? I invite you to to write, discuss, respond, share thoughts and make conclusions visible to others in some way....responses can be on-line or through comments left in the exhibition space, through dialogue with each other and myself, through new photographic collections, short pieces of film, drawings, storyboards, poetry and prose....
The story that can be told and understood is so often linear, time periods may shift but the internal logic of the structure keeps us on track with the development of the characters and their involvement in main events. Stories can be built with levels of structural elegance and complexity which are incredible journeys to follow or with such simplicity and descriptive brilliance that they leave us open mouthed in wonder…
A visual narrative with no words, not even a title to view may stimulate a very different sort of story - perhaps one that is simply confusing, something that we are unresponsive to even. However, the opposite might be true...even a single image can stimulate a cinematic or literary response, the narrative capacity and narrative imagination we are all capable of is immense...be the story light, dark, scary or joyful…full of mystery or a revelation of something beautiful and touching…
Even if you only leave a word …or two…a short poem or observation in whatever language you choose….please do so and contribute to this story that is being shared!
