更好的地方 The Better Place

2016

Space Installation

《更好的地方》以一系列裝置討論社會中人們對於理想的概念,以及其象徵的各種意識形態,於此亦可借代人類想像中,任何優於當下現實的地方。而這些夾雜著對於烏托邦或天國的幻想和期許,也同時並存在所有當下,出現在生活各個角落。

關於「更好」之地,如果要描述,每個人都有不一樣的想像,不過究竟,那是什麼樣的地方?或許,愛、期許甚至愧疚感構築了這個地方,我們把所有無法在現實生活兌現的理想都拋到那裡擱置。無獨有偶,對於這個優於現實的想像也同時在不同的文化與領域之間廣泛傳播,從詩詞、文宣、輓歌到流行歌曲,人們在不同的地方都使用了這個概念傳達某種未竟的烏托邦。從不同背景的觀眾給予的反應與回饋,說明一個有趣的現象,每個人對於此地的想像,會依據彼此的生活與文化經驗而有所相同或不同。「更好」的概念已然是某種更加精神性的,共築又自立的想像。

"The Better Place" echoes an unreachable fantasy.

"The Better Place" explores the concept of people's ideals and the various ideologies they symbolize through a series of installations. It can also be seen as a representation of the human imagination, imagining a place that surpasses the current reality. These installations blend fantasies and aspirations of utopia or paradise, existing simultaneously in our present lives, appearing in various corners of our existence.

When it comes to this "better" place, each person has a unique imagination. However, what exactly does this place look like? Perhaps love, aspirations, or even a sense of guilt construct this place, where we set aside all the ideals that cannot be fulfilled in our real lives. Interestingly, this imagined realm that surpasses reality spreads widely across different cultures and fields. From poetry, propaganda, elegies to popular songs, people in different places employ this concept to convey an unfulfilled utopia. The reactions and feedback from audiences of diverse backgrounds reveal an intriguing phenomenon: each person's imagination of this place may be similar or different based on their life experiences and cultural backgrounds. The concept of "better" has become a more spiritual, collectively constructed yet individually autonomous imagination.
