徐 莘
Conceptual Artist from TAIPEI, TAIWAN
跨領域創作者,關注環境、時間與過程
創作經常始於自己身體實際的走踏與感知
擅長以觀察者的角度,做出兼具紀實性與觀念性的作品
不設限地使用各種媒材,包含空間裝置、行為、錄像、聲音等
近年則熱衷以手工印刷結合其它表現方式
2018至2020的兩年間我在蘇格蘭生活
踏足外島的懸崖、高地的湖泊森林以及初春積雪的山丘
其壯闊、寒冷而緩慢的自然地景,讓我感到陌生和抽離
但這樣與家鄉毫無相似之處的環境
反而讓我體會到兩者間某種無法以科學定律概括的一致性
以及在物質世界的運轉中無所不在的力量:時間
它以平等的姿態對待地球上的萬事萬物
而我的創作便是始於這種普世皆有的經驗或感受
我始終相信世界的運行法則殊途同歸
只不過在許多複雜的力量相互作用下
理論和公式無法歸納所有的現象
而需尋求更深層的哲學理解
Inspired by landscape, my approach is based on the observation of time and process. I worked across a range of media, including found objects, performance, film and printmaking.
As an artist from scientific background, my attention often starts with biological facts. I believe that in our world, everything exists according to fundamental principles yet are driven by complicated forces which we cannot fully explain with rules and formula but have to seek for the deep understanding of philosophy.
