Waley Art

自06年至今，我不斷地將身體作為創作軸心，初期懞懂地視身體為操作的材料，試圖在鏡頭前自己開展，或影像循環中搖曳地演出。隨著經驗累積，這種類行為的影像現場慢慢地被切分兩個面向，一是影像介體，二為身體實踐現場，並若離若即地讓兩者互相交集，或弔詭地讓彼此失效。

此次展出的影像作品，它們的背後皆挾帶了某一個過往的身體現場，攝影棚內擺拍、行為與裝置場所、甚至是一個陌生的城市...
對我來說，每一次的行為演練不是為了滿足表演而已，身體與空間、環境長時間的培養，以及從我的生活日常切換至不同的陌生文化，生活環境，產生的歧異或衝突往往才是我覺得最寶貴的- 關於身體的美學所在。

From 2006 to now, I have always put human body into the core of my works. In the beginning of my creative path, the body was just a medium for me to perform and then repeat that performance in front of the camera.As the experience increases, my works, which consists semi-performance video installation, has been slowly divided into 2 dimensions: the video medium and the location where the body perform. They interact with one another or more strangely, inactivate each other. 
 

The video works in this exhibition are all contain certain location where the performance happened. It can be in a studio, an art space or even a city that is unfamiliar to the audience. To me, the action came from my body was not only there to satisfy a performance, it was also there to draw my body closer to the environment I was lived in. The differences and the conflicts rise from the transition between daily life and strange culture is what I felt to be the most precious; where the aesthetics of the body is.
