Chen Yan-cheng’s works have always been centred on ‘family’, about his father, his wife and his daughter. As a member of the family, thinking about how he, as the son, the husband and the father, understands the family, and even the clan.

This exhibition is about home, and more importantly, about the time, memories and emotions that family members have spent together. In this space, the artist not only sincerely shows the emotions, relationships, responsibilities, rights and struggles in the family, but also attempts to find another way to record and continue the family memories.

我們從河而來:流域千年,文化共筆 We Are Born by the River: Collaborative Notes of Millennium River Basin Culture
2024/07/09 10:00 ~ 2024/10/13 18:00

「告訴我,島在哪裡——」作家賴香吟在她的名作〈島〉中,尋找著消失的主角「島」,「島」不見了。她走進「島」的書房,「她看盡島桌上所有資料,腦裡南城印象幾近重新洗牌,難以相信赤崁與安平之間曾是一片汪洋海域。熱蘭遮,普羅民遮,台江內海,五條港,彷彿一場太空漫遊,她在她所居住過的南城漂漂蕩蕩腳下踩不到底。」如果臺南是個漂浮於海上的「川流之島」,這個川流不息的島與島嶼臺灣的千年身世息息相關,那麼,臺南 400 會是一個契機,讓我們向這座浮島的南城提出一個問題:我們從何而來?我們往何處去?

  我們從河而來。河流將山林的萬物沖積下來,成為丘陵、平原。當然,我們亦從海而來。洋流把世界史的變化載運往來,化成口岸、港市。《槍炮、病菌與鋼鐵》的作者賈德.戴蒙,從近代殖民戰爭與部落社會的演變,從島嶼的生境與歷史,推導出一個重要的結論:文化不只是人創造出來,而是和環境一起創造出來的。而人類文明的形成,有可能不依山、不靠海,卻不可能沒有依存的重要河川。臺灣中央脊樑山系連綿,形成天然集水屏障,加以降雨豐沛,所以島嶼的特色便是密佈的河川,紛紛以坡度降比極大、往東西兩側旺盛堆積,形成地貌變異快速、洪枯流量懸殊、短急切蝕入海的川流島嶼特質。因此,在作家吳明益〈且讓我們蹚水過河:形構臺灣河流書寫/文學的可能性〉一文中指出,臺灣文學的文本中,已將臺灣的河流轉化為「養育者」、「施暴者」與「受害者」三種基本的「認知地圖」。臺南的六條河川不僅養育了臺南城,也施予這片土地以暴雨、土石、洪流,更讓河流成為現代資本主義發展下的受害者。我們從河而來,我們往何處去?

  2024 年,氣候變遷、極端型氣候造成的洪災、旱災、海岸線退縮日益明顯,整個城市與水體多物種的關係,經歷了 400 年的變化,如今面臨重新思考的「我們從河而來」的千年課題。

  這個展覽,除了探問「我們從河而來」的藝術作品與計畫之外,會有半數以上的能量,投注於各階層市民、中小學、社區大學 NPO 與國際專家友人與藝術家(荷蘭、馬來西亞、日本、印尼)的共行探索、共筆製圖、共創對話、共生國際的網絡組成,將臺南 400 的近現代水體城市經驗,回溯千年以來多物種的文化共筆,透過千千百百個從河而來的生境故事與生活經驗,導向全球性的極端型氣候與人類世的生存情境,創造出一個具有行動倡議性、亦具有永續特色的文化藝術展覽。因此,水體行動、水體倡議和水體國際論壇對話,將會是這個城市水體展覽的內核精神。

  展間的設置,採用臺南水文化的巨幅攝影影像系列、水系流佈動線加以貫串,將 ABCD 四個展間分為永恒循環、過去之願、當下之聲、未來之憂四大主題方向。這五個展呈的部分,分別命名為:鯤鯓.凝望(臺南水文化總呈)、眾神.請水(永恒循環)、向海.航路(過去之願)、風土.眾聲(當下之聲)、水逆.未來(未來之憂)。

“Tell me, where is the island—" writer LAI Hsiang-yin cries out in her renowned work Island, to her hometown Tainan that she keeps returning to in her dreams, searching for the missing protagonist “Island”, but “Island” is nowhere to be found. She steps into the study room of “Island”. “She went through all the data on Island's table, her impressions of the southern city in her mind nearly reshuffled, hardly believing that between Chihkan and Anping there was once a vast ocean. Zeelandia, Provintia, the Taijiang Inner Sea, Wu Tiao Gang (the Old Five Channels), as if in a space voyage, she drifted in the southern city she had lived in, unable to touch the ground beneath her feet.” If Tainan is an “island of streaming” floating on the sea, this ever-flowing island is intimately related to the millennia-long history of the island of Taiwan. Then, “Tainan 400” could be an opportunity for us to pose a question to this floating city in southern Taiwan: Where do we come from? Where are we going?

We Are Born By The River. Rivers carry all things from the forests and mountains, forming hills and plains. Of course, we also come from the sea. Ocean currents carry the changes of world history back and forth, turning into ports and harbor cities. Jared Diamond, the author of Guns, Germs, and Steel, from the evolution of modern colonial wars and tribal societies, from the habitats and history of islands, deduced an important conclusion: Culture is not only created by humans but is created together with the environment. And the formation of human civilization might not depend on mountains or seas, but it cannot exist without significant rivers. Taiwan's central mountain range forms a natural water-collecting barrier, coupled with abundant rainfall, hence the island's characteristic dense network of rivers, rapidly accumulating on both the east and west sides with a steep gradient, forming a landscape of rapid topographic variations, vast differences in flood and drought flows, and short, sharply eroding rivers that flow into the sea, which are characteristic of the island of streaming. Therefore, as writer WU Ming-yi pointed out in his article Let Us Cross the River: Discussion on the Possibility of Taiwanese River Writing/Literature, the texts of Taiwanese literature have transformed Taiwan's rivers into three basic “cognitive maps” of “nurturers,” “aggressors,” and “victims.” The six rivers of Tainan not only nurtured the city of Tainan but also inflicted this land with torrential rains, debris, and floods, further making the rivers victims under the development of modern capitalism. We are born by the river, but where are we going?

By 2024, the effects of climate change and extreme weather, including floods, droughts, and the retreat of coastlines, have become increasingly apparent. The relationship between the entire city and its aquatic biodiversity, after 400 years of change, now faces the millennia-old question of “We Are Born By The River” that needs rethinking.

This exhibition, besides exploring artistic works and projects questioning “We Are Born By The River,” will devote more than half of its energy to collaborative explorations, co-writing and mapping, co-creating dialogues, and forming an international network of symbiosis among citizens of all levels, elementary and secondary schools, community colleges, NPOs, and international experts and artists (from the Netherlands, Malaysia, Japan, and Indonesia). It aims to trace back the modern urban water body experiences of Tainan 400 to the millennia-long multicultural co-writing with diverse species. Through thousands of habitat stories and life experiences that come from the river, it directs towards the global extreme climate scenarios and the survival situations of the Anthropocene, creating a cultural and art exhibition with an action-oriented initiative and sustainable features. Therefore, water actions, water advocacy, and international forum dialogues on water bodies will be the core spirit of this city's water exhibition.

The setup of the exhibition rooms will employ a series of giant photographic images of Tainan's water culture and water system flow lines to interconnect, dividing the four exhibition rooms into four major themes: Eternal Cycle, Past Wishes, Present Voices, and Future Concerns. These five parts of the exhibition are named respectively: “Gaze at Kunshen” (The Overall Presentation of Tainan's Water Culture), “Inviting Water of Deities” (Eternal Cycle), “Voyage to Discovery” (Past Wishes), “Voice the Terroir” (Present Voices), and “Retrograde the Future” (Future Concerns).

年年有餘 2023.10.12-11.19‘年年有餘(nián nián yǒu yú)’ is a greeting originated from tradition, where families would prepare a special fish dish at the end-of-year meal but leave a few bites uneaten to signify wishes for an abundant and plentiful year ahead.

Yan-Cheng Chen believes that his life was redefined the moment he became a parent. To capture an image is to grasp at fishes in the stream of life and time, all to bless his child with a feast.

Through ‘I Have Fish’, a series of works presented in 3 parts, he steps into his shoes as a father, and journeys forth to explore life’s big topics.

「年年有餘」是一句吉祥話,源自南方的傳統,通常在年夜飯時,每家會準備一道魚的料理,而必須吃剩一些魚肉,以表達期待新的一年豐富圓滿之意。

陳彥呈覺得自己成為家長之後,對人生的看法都因而改變。拍下照片就如捕捉時間、人生中的「魚」、「餘」,是他留給孩子的祝福。

藉以「年年有魚」分為三部份的作品,他帶著父親這個重要的身分探索愛、生命與時間等更大的命題。

城市密碼‧台北賦格

南京西路25巷4-3號對面

攝影作為城市風景與記憶的延伸
文/沈昭良
距離達蓋爾於1838年,從巴黎市區建物的窗戶所拍攝,歷史上最早有人物入鏡的都市景觀攝影《聖殿大道》(Boulevard du Temple),迄今也有185年歷史,這項當年受限於機具、材料的攝影發明,相對於現今攝影科技的快速演進,影像生成/取得的多樣路徑,雖顯得樸素單調,卻穩定提示了在作品詮釋過程中,難以迴避的歷史進程與技術困境,也使得這件作品在日後所自然連動,多元蓬勃的城市攝影書寫,在演進的外擴與深化意義上更顯珍貴。

回顧攝影類型的更迭與發展,城市/街廓內外的景觀、空間、局部、生命樣態與人類活動,一直是吸引世界各地攝影創作者積極投入的書寫對象;拍攝實務也在宏觀/微觀的距離調控、日夜/晨昏的選定、觀點/視角的鞏固、隨機/定著的切換,以及跨域複媒的展呈中,來去自由靈活揮灑。舉凡都市景觀、空間、巷弄、特定時間場域、人物肖像、城市肌理、隨機街拍等等類型,逐漸在世界各地的相關攝影作品中,被精緻體現與廣泛熟知。

此次集結來自臺灣、法國、日本、馬來西亞四國,共九位攝影創作者;包括水島貴大結合肖像攝影與繪畫的《巷長們》,鄧毅駿觀察巷弄轉角的《三角窗》,李雅妍解構重組打鐵街區的《悠遊赤峰》,何鴻志四處深夜梭巡的《暗訪》,陳彥呈微觀建物展現肌理的《都市.鐵花》,林軒朗隨機遊走拾取的《心中山 Fusion》,黃郁修尋訪神龕在工商場域中的《商神》,令余白往返流連的傳統空間《室內之城》,以及陳淑貞在相對框限的老爺會館台北南西客房內,所翻轉拆解,繽紛層疊的《老爺狂想》等等,這些以老爺會館、捷運中山站到雙連站間為創作標的的「街區藝術計畫」,即是回應前述的工作方法與類型特徵,在有限的資源與條件下,所開展一系列新攝,由內而外,由遠而近,由具體而抽象,兼具迂迴與直視,純粹與形變的攝影實踐。

抽象之眼

2023.03.18 - 07.30
臺北 國家攝影文化中心
​301 ~ 303、305展覽室

策展人/章光和
蘇珊・桑塔格(Susan Sontag)說:「在本質上,一張照片永遠無法像一幅畫一樣完全超越它的主題。同樣的,一張照片也永遠無法超越它的視覺本身──然而在某種意義上,這卻是現代繪畫的終極目標。」 脫離視覺符號的依附,擺脫一張照片必須要有可以辨識的事物,探討抽象的攝影裡所有可能的閱讀觀點,我們找尋看向鏡中抽象之眼。

「抽象之眼」希望可以透過以下4個命題形塑抽象攝影的合理性與可能性。包括:一、「非象具象」:攝影的具象敘事裡面缺乏日常熟悉的符碼,進而轉變成抽象視覺。這抽象的視覺如何引發出敘事的蛛絲馬跡,成為一種「英雄式的觀看」,獲取掌聲,進而產生一種閱讀抽象攝影的可能。二、「理性與感性」:從抽象繪畫的創作途徑,由色彩與造型直接切入到一種理念當中,是理式的極限之美,還是感性的情懷?這裡由抽象繪畫觀點看向攝影的心靈試探,在游離抽象的氛圍裡感受藝術家要表達的到底是壓抑還是宣洩。三、「完形」:完形心理學裡「視覺場」的概念認為人類對於任何視覺圖像的認知,是一種經過知覺系統組織後的形態與輪廓,而並非所有各自獨立部份的集合。透過接近性、相似性、封閉性、連續性與對稱性等相當有趣的視覺認知因素,觀者在非符號間尋找符號的意義,最終以更直覺的「完形」視覺投射在作品上,如此產生了圖形的解讀趣味。四、「物介質」:攝影的呈現相當依靠媒材發展,隨著時代科技不同影像的呈現也日新月異。從攝影媒材裡延伸出一個材料物體系,媒材介質充滿了抽象的視覺的可能性,如何解放媒材本質上獨特的視覺,就是抽象攝影產生的起始點。

「抽象之眼」這個策展命題意思是攝影之鏡頭裡不只有報導的敘事、生活的敘事,也存在著一種攝影者自己或呢喃或咆哮的視覺表達。它引導我們迎向一個新的看的領域。潛藏著一種自我暗示,自我覺醒的提示,讓觀者以一種創作者獨有的眼光去欣賞,去了解這一次展出的抽象作品。

錦鯉 KOI
2021.10/16-11/14
展覽座談:10/23(15:00)
展覽地點:1839當代藝廊&1839小藝廊

一切都是從那張一條錦鯉的照片開始的。
「這是一趟孤獨的旅程,彷彿是我自己一個人去的。」
他拿著那張浮光掠影中僅有一條魚的照片,問他的愛人:「這張是在哪裡拍的?」
「是在松島拍的。」他的愛人說。
他竊笑了一聲,並小心的不讓他的愛人聽見,他知道那張照片是在御苑的水池旁拍的。這要回到2015年春天,他跟他的愛人在日本旅行,當時他們正在吵架,他與他的愛人吵架總是兩人沉默,就像有一個瞬間時間忽然變得緩慢,慢到連呼吸都顯得十分吃力,這種感覺讓他無法忍受,所以他獨自一人在剛下完雨的新宿御苑水池邊拍照,而他的愛人則在另一頭用手機拍著被打落的櫻花,或許是因為這樣他的愛人根本不知道他拍了一張有關魚的照片,也可能他的愛人明明知道,卻寧願相信那是在陽光明媚的前天,他們在仙台的松島海岸所拍攝的照片。不管如何,那張照片中就僅僅只有一條錦鯉,沒有別的了,錦鯉隨著浮光一同靜止在2018年初夏的夜裡,現在就算說它是在台灣拍的也顯得非常合理。

在看完錦鯉的照片之後,他的愛人拿起了另一張照片,那是一張他面對著隅田川與晴空塔,而他的愛人正看著他的照片,那個畫面與一般的旅遊照片無異,他的愛人穿著那件他們一起在京都旅遊時買的厚重外套,手上拿著盾牌,腳上穿著為了這個旅程而買的紅靴,畫面中愛人似乎在等著什麼,所以表情有些奇怪,愛人的臉還看得出之前住院時的水腫未消,這時他頂著一顆超過38.5度的頭將武器提到眼睛前,過程緩慢且疲憊,他已經無力與愛人爭吵,而他的愛人因為他的生病也停止了沉默,並配合他的要求站在這個畫面中間,他在此按下了一次快門,形成了一張照片,但這個快門只為了下一個快門,為了一個更遠更大的想像。
他的愛人凝視這張照片許久之後,把照片放回桌上。

「這是一趟孤獨的旅程,彷彿是我自己一個人去的。」
他的愛人又再說了一次。

​7th SIPF 2020
05 Nov 2020 — 30 Jan 2021
Departing and ArrivingDeparting and Arriving is a sojourn to examine and trace our sense of belonging and identities amid current uncertainties. In the process, we dive into our pasts, histories and our belief systems, laying new claims on our cultural ancestry – some parts are discarded for us to arrive at who we are.

The journey is not without challenges as we revisit and redefine the grounds we stand for, but it is necessary if we want to understand ourselves – in Singapore, and globally.
