此山非彼山
Ain’t that Mountain
在立霧山回程的火車上,看著手機裡的相簿,手指輕快的滑過一張張照片回憶著立霧山的顏色,在這一連串日常的動作下卻形塑了與記憶無法共感的矛盾:不自覺自問為什麼手機的照片無法讓人聯想到身在立霧山當下的真實?於是發現影像的狡獪,因為它編造了斷裂並與真實產生距離。於是在多次來往台北與立霧山的過程中,常思考著是否能利用日常的材料或現成物來呈現個人的生活經驗,並從中尋找立霧山,重現山林的意象,這也是一個讓人重返立霧山的方法,同時與部落共感,從部落建立山友們對於立霧山的意象,也許部落的立霧山才是人們印象中的山,〈此山非彼山〉透過蒐集與重新建構的動作看見你我記憶中的山。
On the way back to Taipei, when Shao-Ying Huang looked at her photo album in her phone, she thought about the gap between these images and the real environment. It was difficult for her to connect her physically vivid experiences of Liwu Mountain with the photographs. She began to interrogate the way that these images are disconnected from her memory. After visiting the tribe many times, she implements the project “Ain’t that Mountain” to bring this question to the audience. She wishes to use objects from her daily life to represent her personal experiences in this project, describing the process in which she tries to imagine the nature of the mountain. In the end, it could be the most faithful way to approach Liwu Mountain and to represent the tribe. Recreating the image of nature from her experiences with the tribe could represent the real nature that she remembered.

善於透過創作來回應個人生命經驗,透過觀看與閱讀牠者的身體,回應到自身的社會處境及牠者的生命狀態。同時思考身為人存在於社會中的我們,身體會因為環境而產生選擇性的變化,例如意圖符合社會期待樣貌或在身體上建置無形的社會框架等。以各種不同類型關於空間性的創作方式,透過材質與空間結合所產生的厚度,來回應藝術家所看的身體及找尋的另種身體可能的形狀-原初的模樣。

Shao-Ying Huang’s work involves her creative response to personal experiences. She frequently enacts the method of watching the bodies of others, which initiates her thoughts upon living conditions. Moreover, the visitors are forced to consider how the human being prepares themselves in order to live in our society. For example, people habitually change their appearance and intentions to comply with social expectations. After extended artistic research, through spatial creative practice, she often applies a variety of different ways to respond to what she sees behind the physical body, meanwhile looking for another kind of possible shape – the original appearance.
