當代婚禮的視覺文化現象－李之元的創作研究論述

Abstract

本研究透過創作來詮釋「當代婚禮的視覺文化現象」，主要是以微觀的角度，探討在主流體系之下的當代婚禮現象，發掘其背後可能藏有的慾望、壓抑、衝突、疏離與自身醒覺，以深入的視野去剝解那些過往不被重視的細微之處，創作的主題包含「婚禮新人之凝視」、「婚禮賓客之凝視」與「婚禮場景之凝視」等三個面向主題。 研究者認為在當代重視自我醒覺、權力抗衡、性別意識與主客互動的思潮中，當代婚禮視覺文化現象的藝術創作，應該要提供觀者更多元的觀賞元素與角度，來協助他們對於畫面進行解讀與理解，婚禮不再只是主流觀賞下的唯一形式與典範，新人、賓客與觀者在社會趨勢與主流價值的影響下，自身內在所受到的制約與情感該如何真摯表達，是整個創作系列作品想要傳達的核心概念。 對於未來的研究方向建議，研究者認為當代婚禮之視覺文化的現象焦點可以再向外發展，擴延更多可能的相關創作議題，希望藉由這樣的方向延伸，能使當代婚禮視覺文化現象的系列作品，有更多元、細膩的探討面向與省思脈絡，增加創作主題意涵的價值性，期能引發更多觀賞者在婚禮儀式與社交下，深度的人性省思與自我醒覺。此外，研究者期待透過本研究，提供一些當代社會宏觀現象下的微觀思維，期能引發研究學者或創作藝術家更多的反思、創意與批判，協助我們的社會能以更人性與更多元的角度，來探討各種值得我們關注的議題。
