My @blueshopcottage x @amassaplace residency really highlights my summertime this year. It's an amazing time for me to explore things and learn from people. Joining artist residency, living with the best, friendly and creative artists 💜and choosing material for this work are all my first experiences.

I chose a transparent material when considering making penetration and connection between #Natural and my work. Thinking about the whole background can penetrate and integrate into a part of my work and record the current dynamics reflected on the plastic sheet in real-time when dragging my artwork around.

在駐村的這段期間真的充實了我這個夏天。也是一個讓我任意探索和學習的時光。
不管是駐村和與很多優秀的藝術家們一起生活以及這次作品的材質選擇都是全新的經驗。

考慮該如何在#自然 和我的作品做貫穿和連結，我選擇了透明的材質，一方面想讓整個背景穿透和結合成我作品的一環，一方面也可以在拖著我的作品走動的時候，可以即時紀錄當下映出在塑膠布上的動態

《轉生樹系列》創作，思考的生物材料與非生物材料之間的關係，藉由人工／非自然的機械外力牽引著生命體。此件創作受到前往日本東京駐村的啟發，見到和出生地台灣不同的季節面貌，感受到自然萬物因為時間呈現季節，春、夏、秋、冬、夜晚、白天的變化，重複著不斷消長的生命輪迴。記得那時遇到一個花藝家說道：植物藉由花藝延續下一段奇異生命。在黑夜，植物從土壤中被剪下，當清晨陽光升起的那一霎那，斷根的花朵一齊轉向陽光，完成他最魔幻的美麗時刻。這一段帶著殘忍動作卻充滿詩意的敘述，為物件的重生與賦予存在的意義下了另一個提問：究竟「被操作」重生後，還是本質嗎？

〈轉生樹〉作品同時強調呈現的時間變化與步入展間的空間軸線，植物隨著展期的推進，緩慢地呈現自然消長；人從遠方美麗畫面漸漸進入如劇場的空間。裝置設置中，植物體上安置許多繫線，並設計動力機械裝置，透過馬達牽動植物，使植物體的莖幹和葉片如受控的傀儡般，產生緩慢細密的規律位移。試圖透過如生物般蠕動的有機動態，在“人造的機械運動”、“時間切片”與空間投射出的“光影變化”中，讓表象看似優雅的狀態，緩慢地、漸層地釋放出背後殘忍的哀傷。

Interested in the relationship between animate entities and inanimate objects, Taiwanese artist Chuang Chih-Wei infuses living organisms with the power of machines. In 2014, after taking artist residency in Japan, Chuang began contemplating the cycle of time and the flow of life in his Reborn Tree Series. Inspired by “ikebana” (the Japanese art of flower arrangement), which a master told him brought new life to flowers through death, Chuang decided to explore whether he could revitalize an organic form with an inorganic device. The result is a plant that moves like a puppet, rigged with wires and a motor. The work alludes to both Chinese and Christian creation myths, in which gods conjure human beings from dirt. However, by using electricity and petroleum, rather than divine magic, to instill life to an inanimate object, Chuang memorably updates these ancient myths for the contemporary industrialized era.

촹 치웨이
대만 작가 촹 치웨이는 생물과 무생물 사이의 관계에 관심을 두고, 생명체에 기계의 힘을 가하는 방식의 작업을 해왔다. 〈리본 트리 시리즈(Reborn Tree Series)〉는 작가가 2014년 일본에서 레지던스 활동을 하던 시기에 시간의 순환, 생명의 흐름에 대한 고민에서 시작되었다. 일본의 이케바나 (Ikebana, 生花: 꽃꽂이) 장인이 이케바나에서의 꽃은 죽음을 통해 새로운 생명으로 거듭난다고 언급한 점에 주목하여 생명이 인공적인 재탄생 과정을 통해 새로운 생명을 얻을 수 있는지에 대해 탐구한다. 이 작품에서 식물은 작가가 설치해놓은 줄과 모터에 의해 꼭두각시처럼 움직인다. 작가는 성경과 중국의 고대신화에서 신이 인간을 먼지와 흙으로 창조하여 생명을 불어넣는 것과 같이 현대의 산업화 시대에는 전기와 기름이 마법과 같이 무생물체에 생명을 부여한다고 느낀다.

『転生樹系列-  Reborn Tree Series 』は、生物材料と非生物材料との間の関係を思考したもので、人工的・非自然的な機械の外的な力により生命体を牽引した作品である。東京でのアーティストインレジデンスがきっかけとなって創作された作品で、生まれ育った台湾とは違う季節の様相を見、自然界における万物は、春、夏、秋、冬、昼、夜と変化することで生命の輪廻を繰り返すものだということが表現されている。当時出会ったある花芸家が言った言葉がある。それは「植物は花卉園芸によって次の奇異な命へとつながる。暗い夜に植物は土中で切り取られ、早朝太陽が昇ったその瞬間に、根が断たれた花は一斉に太陽に向かい魔法のような美しい時を完成させる。」というものだった。これは残忍ではあるが実に詩的な叙述に満ちており、物の転生と賦与された存在意義に新たな問いを投げかけたものだった。では「手が加えられて」新たに生まれたものは、本質なのだろうか。

「転生樹」では、時の移り変わりとともに展示空間の軸線へと入り込んでいくことが強調されている。展示植物は日が経つにつれて自然な消長をみせる。人は遠くから見える美しい画面から、次第に劇場のような空間へと引き込まれる。装置の植物には多くのワイヤーが仕込まれており、それを動かす機械がそばに置かれ、モーターにより植物の茎や葉は何かにあやつられているかのように細かい規律のある動きを見せる。そのくねくねと動いている生物のような動きは、“人工的な機械運動”、“時間の切片”と空間の投射が生み出す“光と影の変化”により、表面的には優雅に見えているものが、しだいに規則的にその背後にある残忍な悲しみを解き放っていく様を表す。
