〈公民擠壓〉系列 Squeezing Citizenship

作品論述

「黯黑中的發光/聲體」Luminiferous sound objects in the darkness

〈公民擠壓〉扮演一個載體,引導曾參與社會運動的公民們,回復到抗爭當下的身體記憶(姿勢),運用數位的方式紀錄與再現其抗爭的身體記憶,來作為面對社運的切入點,詮釋公民身體在社會運動中所扮演的角色,以及如何在像是壓迫的黯黑中,成為一個發聲/光體。期望此作品作為一個契機,讓更多人重新檢視土地上的紛爭與衝突,正視公民運動的權利與義務,使之瞭解其社會運動的發聲,將成為暗黑中的一道光,照亮這片土地,然而人們越來越有權利爭取自己的權益,為這片土地留下一些共同記憶,讓後人可以依循的一段歷史的軌跡。

Art Statement

Luminiferous sound objects in the darkness

Squeezing Citizenship serves as a vehicle that retrospectively carries the citizens who had ever been part of social movements to the body memory (postures) at the very moment of demonstration. Digital technology is adopted to record and represent such body memory. Treating the body memory as the entry point, this work not only interprets the role that citizens’ bodies play in social movements, but also explicates the way they become luminiferous sound objects in the darkness of oppression. The artist expects this work to be a reminder, prompting more people to review the disputes and conflicts occurred on this land and pay attention to the rights and obligations of civil disobedience, thereby awakening them to the fact that their articulation through social movements will become the rays of light that illuminate this land. People realize that they must fight for their own rights, and therefore left common memories and historical trajectory for future generations to follow.

Squeezing Citizenship is produced with the participation of the citizens who had been involved in social movements through 3D body scanning, 3D printing, and sound recording. With the assistance of audio mixer and pressure-sensing device, this work allows the viewers to feel the vivid oppressive atmosphere by their tactile sense.
