生態•囚—馮雯琳彩墨創作論述

Abstract

人在演化的過程，日漸脫離自然母體，創建屬於人類的世界，然而隨著人的社會化與資本主義盛行，理性運作與利益至上的目標取向讓整個世界宛如一架巨大機器，階級分類下的人們宛如機械般運轉、受牽制著，思想活動亦被約束在既定的價值體系，無力地被侷限在特定遊戲規則中，許多現代人開始矛盾地與自我疏離，在內心深處產生空虛感與身心病變，只能藉由短暫娛樂獲得表象上的慰藉，無法擁有真正的快樂與存在價值。社會、世界，這個人類共創的饗宴天堂，看似和諧，實而隱藏巨大衝突與詭譎之處，在一個柔和的表象下，眾人繼續汲汲營營、追求表象歡愉，巧妙遮掩了內心深處的不自由與束縛，逐漸迷失自身存在意義。 筆者藉自然動植物組合而成的微型世界，作為個人對生存環境與個體變異的記錄，在特殊的虛幻情境設定中，探討人與自然、群體及自我的共生關係，透過對自然界各種生命體成長、蛻變、互動的微觀，以再現、象徵或異質嫁接、擬人等手法，模擬當今社會異化的奇幻歷程，於系列荒謬風景影射現代人對物質及精神層面的追尋，帶領觀者一同窺探藏匿於夢幻表象下的種種衝突與詭譎，思索人與外界及自我的共生之道。During the evolution of mankind, human beings disaffiliated from nature and established the human world. However, with socialization and spread of capitalism, rationalism and utilitarianism have made the society functioning as a large machine. People stratified into different social classes are constrained, working like machines and their nerveless thoughts and core values are restricted by conventional rules. Many modern people started to alienate conflictingly from their selves, empting their hearts with ill body and mind. They could only superficially comfort themselves with momentary amusements, but not truly having pure happiness and value of existence. The society and the world, the feast and heaven created by mankind, seem to be harmonic, but are actually with hidden tremendous conflicts and perplexities. Under a gentle presentation, people indulged in searching superficial pleasure, hiding cleverly the oppression and restrains in their hearts, and gradually lost their meaning of existence. The artist made her personal record of the environment and individual differentiation, with a micro-world consisted of plants and animals. In this special imaginary world, the artist philosophizes the mutual relationship between human and nature, and between society and individuals. Through microcosmic view of growth, metamorphosis and interaction in nature, the artist imitated a fantasy journey of the modern social alienation with reconstruction, symbolization or heterogeneous grafting. With series of absurd scenarios, the artist allude the modern people seeking material and spiritual comforts, leading the audience to discover the conflicts and perplexities hidden beneath the illusionary surface and pondering the mutual relation of mankind and the external world.
