Venue : Taipei, Taiwan
2014
The city is adorned with a variety of elements and the colors they carry, together shaping its unique character. Even when walking through the streets without much thought, we may unconsciously cut out fragments of scenery and store them in memory. I attempted to take out these memories as if they were pieces of cut paper and reconstruct them into new landscapes.
In many Taiwanese houses, small and vividly colored tiles are used, arranged in ways that are both orderly and free. Even in the minor structural details of the buildings, one can sense a rhythm unique to Taiwan. At certain moments, I pause, giving myself time to gaze intently at something that happens to catch my eye. I find myself contemplating shapes and colors—simple yet singular aspects of life that embody uniqueness.
街は様々な要素とそれらが持つ色彩で彩られ、個性を構築している。何気なく街を歩いていても、知らず知らず何か風景を切り取って記憶しているのではないだろうか。その記憶を切り紙のように取り出し、新しい風景を作ることを試みた。台湾の住宅の多くには小さく鮮やかなタイルが使用され、規則的でありながらも自由に並べられている。また、建築物に見られる些細な構造部にも台湾独特の形のリズムを感じる。あるところで立ち止まり、ふと目がいったものをじっと眺める時間を作る。形や色、生活の中にある単純でも唯一なものとは何か思いを巡らす。
