TOUGH TOWN 文｜張暉明

繼2012年伊通個展之後，我開始大量創作影像作品，透過影像中時光的循環變化、物件之間彼此對話與交織累積，呈 現它們共有的時間與生命觀，雖獨立於現實，卻直指我對本質的提問與想像；與早期以裝置作品為主的形式看起來有些 許差異，但實際上，與其說創作了一系列影像，更確切的說法是原本在脈絡中的物件被轉換為影像。就這樣我開始在影 像、裝置與物件之間摸索遊走，企圖透過不同的方式呈現它們的關係與想像可能。 本次展覽將展出今年於蘇格蘭格蘭菲迪酒廠駐村期間發展的系列影像、裝置作品。藉由當地生活的豐富體驗與文化認 識，以創作延伸我對其歷史、生命與勇氣的想像。

TOUGH TOWN

By CHANG Huei-Ming

Since the 2012 solo exhibition at IT Park, I begin to create numerous image works. Through the change of time and the interaction of objects in the image to perform the time and life they shared. Even thought it stands alone in reality, it represents my query and imagination over essence. There were differences compared to my installation art from early stages. Yet in fact, creating a series of image is more likely and precisely to transforming the original objects into images. Then I started to float between image, installation, and object, trying to perform their relationships in different ways.

This exhibition will perform a series of images and installation arts developed during my Artist-in-Residency period in Glenfiddich distillery, Scotland. Through experiencing local life and knowing the new culture, I create to expand my imagination over history, life, and courage.

抵達蘇格蘭亞伯丁的第一時間，迎接我的是托運行李

各自的房子裡一起用餐，聊聊彼此的家鄉，分享工作

還躺在阿姆斯特丹史基浦機場的意外，與來接機的安

進度，或是打屁講一些妖魔鬼怪出沒的八卦。從五月

迪擁抱寒暄，請他協助處理行李運送的事宜後，我們

下旬開始，蘇格蘭很多城鎮每週都會開始舉辦稱為

Ceilidh的舞會，是當地傳統的社交聚會，除了會有各

的駐村體驗。

種音樂、舞蹈演出，還會邀請民眾參與其中，是促進 社區情誼的重要活動；我們幾位駐村藝術家每週只要

一路上與安迪聊著近況，經過幾支巨型的發電風車，

時間、工作允許，都會相互邀約前往參加，買幾張抽

他提到那是當年陳慧嶠初到蘇格蘭的第一驚喜，我心

獎卷，祈禱自己當天幸運能拿大獎，即使什麼都沒拿

中瞬間連接起這長達11年的時光想像，格蘭菲迪駐村

計劃仍持續進行，每年陸續有不同的創作者來到這，

球，依然愉快地結束一天。在駐村快結束前，我陸續

與蘇格蘭文化、酒廠生活及安迪碰撞新的火花，發展

到每個藝術家的工作室拍攝作者與作品/工作環境的照

許多有趣的作品，心中不免有許多感動。

片，除了訓練自己溝通與拍攝的能力，也作為這次駐 村的紀念。

在我抵達前幾天，當地下了一場異常的大雪，仍能看 見半融的雪地風景，房舍與樹林草地半隱半現在其

駐村期間我做了三件錄像作品，除了延續過往在影像

酷，卻也是再自然不過的事。

起來，短短三個月雖不算長，但也讓我對蘇格蘭文化 有粗淺的體驗與認識，不過如果要說在這趟駐村旅程

At the first moment I arrived Aberdeen, Scotland, it welcomed me with an accident that my luggages were still lying in Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, and Andy’s (the one who arranged everything) hello hug.

Andy and I talked all the way. When we passed by some huge generating windmills, he mentioned that was the first surprise for Chen Hui-Chiao as she first visited Scotland.

Suddenly the 11 years of imagination connected in my heart. The Glenfiddich Artist-in-Residency program holds annually. Each year, artists from different fields went to make sparkles with Scotch culture, life in the distillery, and Andy. I felt so touched deep inside when thinking of the works they have developed.

Few days before I landed, there was an unusual big snow in Scotland. The half-melted snow scene could still be clearly seen, and the houses and forests were hidden in the snow. While I was immersing in the amazing view, I glanced at a deer killed by a car crash. It lied silently beside the bushes along the road. That scene still attacks me hard whenever I think of it. Since then, I often saw some half-rotten bodies of creatures like seagulls and crows. The begin, transfer, and the end of life has kept reminding us directly in our daily live. It is rather cruel but natural.

The Glenfiddich distillery falls at the northern highland of Scotland, Dufftown. During the three months of Artistin-Residency period, every artist owned a house as their 24

studio. We spent our weekends in different houses to dine together. We talked about our hometown, shared our working process, or told ghost stories. At the end of May, many towns in Scotland would hold weekly proms called “Ceilidh”. It is the traditional social gather-up. Beside various of music and dance, audiences would be invited to join. That was an important activity to increase community relations. We would gather each other to join when we were free. We bought some raffle tickets hoping to win big prize. Although we got nothing instead, we would still go to a nearby bar for a cup of whisky, throwing the darts, and play pool. That is how we happily end the day. Before the Artist-in-Residency ended, I came to every house for photos of artists working. Not only practicing skills of communicating and filming, also for remembering this residency.

During the residency period, I have three video works.

Besides continuing the experiment on the image, I recorded a short film, “Tough Town”, based on the distillery, highland forests, and Scotch dance. I invited students from a local dance school to join the film. These 4-12 year-old little dancers danced passionately, which formed a strong contrast to the huge and cold distillery area. It also showed the undefeatable spirit of Scotland. I still remember the times. Three months was not too long, and I had briefly introduced to the Scotch culture. I would say the humbleness human needs to face nature and our tiny selves, were the parts worth sharing in this Artist-inResidency journey.
