關於本展 自古以來,海洋總是激起人們的敬畏之心,是帶著崇高和充滿異國情調的巨大未知空間。然而在過去的 十五年裡,全球科技與經濟的移轉激發了對海洋新的關注與認知。當我們思考地球的未來,今日的海洋 揭示了比過去更多因人類活動而產生的後果。海洋與人不再被視為是分開的,而是同在連串可能是破壞 性的影響之中。

《自然之外的海洋》於台北的展出,透過十組藝術家的作品,思考海洋作為反映全球化下的生態、文化、 政治與經濟現實的主體與載體。這些國際知名或新一代藝術家探索詮釋海洋空間的新路徑,指出與批判 其中各式各樣曖昧卻內在相關的權力系統,像是海陸的分界、人與貨物的流通,以及生態系統的脆弱。

除了關注普遍性諸如旅遊、貿易和對自然資源的濫用,展覽也談及個人的身份認同與遷移等主題。參展 藝術家以其創作回應這內外相互交織的狀態,重新定義對海洋的理解。展覽呈現的海洋空間不只反映了 權力,也同時是權力自身的工具。

關於策展人 艾蕾娜.克莱爾.費爾德曼(Alaina Claire Feldman)是策展人及獨立策展人國際聯盟(ICI)的展覽總 監。在加入 ICI 之前,費爾德曼曾擔任《May Revue》的編輯,《May Revue》是於 2009 至 2011 年在 巴黎發行的雙語(法語/英語)藝文季刊。她曾策劃許多藝術和視覺文化的專題展覽、講座和出版,她

The Exhibition For centuries, the ocean has prompted awe, figuring as a vast unknown space loaded with notions of the sublime and the exotic. In the past fifteen years however, global technological and economic shifts have triggered new concerns and understandings of the ocean. As we consider the future of our planet, today’s oceans reveal more about the consequences of human actions than ever before. The ocean and humanity, no longer thought of as separate, exist in a relationship of mutual and potentially destructive influence. The Ocean After Nature considers the ocean as a site ref lecting the ecological, cultural, political, and economic realities of a globalized world through the work of twenty artists and collectives. These internationally established and emerging artists explore new ways of representing the seascape as a means to identify and critique the various interrelated and chaotic systems of power, such as land-sea divides, the circulation of people and goods, and the vulnerabilities of our ecosystems. Invoking personal themes of identity and migration, alongside more universal concerns related to tourism, trade, and the exploitation of natural resources, the artists in The Ocean After Nature respond to the intertwined factors that define this new understanding of the ocean. The exhibition proposes that seascapes do not only reflect power but can be instruments of power themselves. On November 18, The Ocean After Nature continues it’s international tour at TheCube Project Space of Taipei. The Taipei version (with ten groups of artists) features work in a wide variety of media— including photography, video, publishing, sound and design. At every hosting site, a new work by a locally based artist is added to the exhibition in order to further contextualize the exhibition for diverse global audiences. Working in collaboration with TheCube space, the exhibition has invited artist Yannick Dauby to exhibit a new, site-specific sound work in response to the project.

自然之外,誰的海洋? 文/艾蕾娜.克萊爾.費爾德曼

「我想,我應該提供一些關於大裂谷在哪,和它

能動性,而且,我們可以通過一些作為帶來改變。

一張照片勝過千言萬語,眼見為憑。」

這些方法都包含較主觀的陳述,而事物如何被這

從哪裡斷開的照片。古老的陳詞濫調這麼說過: --瑪莉 ‧ 查普,海洋學攝影師,第一張全球海床地形

圖的共同創作者。

在地球發展已為人類所主導的年代裡,《自然之

外的海洋》展覽將審視現今的海洋景觀如何被人 類所創造。展覽中的作品揭示了我們看待海洋、 形塑海洋的方式,而政治、經濟以及文化又是如

何驅動今日全球自然生態議題。展覽中的作品並 不直接提出解決問題的方法,而是採用了美學的 想像,激發觀者反思人類在世界中的角色。同時, 這些作品特別著重在與全球環境有關的一連串問

題:從自然資源的開發和濫用到流動人口的動態; 從軍事對水域的入侵到我們從廣告接收的異國情

調迷思。本展作品以海洋──連結我們周邊遼闊 環境的流動網絡,也是所有生命的起源──為主

要框架,探索我們與自然世界之間關係的關鍵變 化。

吾人所佔據的星球是由我們創造的世界,一個由 人類的存在所形塑的世界。理論家和科學家們最 近提出一種假設,認為當今我們所處的年代裡,

人類已然主宰地球的發展。1 我們藉由一種集合系

統結構來形塑這個世界,這個導致全球氣候變遷 的系統結構的力量來自工業、政治與文化生產的 慾望。我們的星球已不再是浪漫主義者或者超驗 論者所說的「自然」,因為,在人類手裡,沒有

任何一種存在是獨立的,人類的能動性和世界的 其他事物──我們的土地、我們的動物還有我們 的海洋──全都糾纏在一起。我們已超越了「自 然」。

但是,本展並非僅只想提出悲觀的當前處境。《自 然之外的海洋》試圖激發一種集體意識:我們擁有

TheCUBE

本展提出多種方法來說明海洋對人類的重要性, 些描述所塑造也至關重要。面臨著碳排放慢慢吞 噬大氣層,並導致冰川融化、海平面上升這些迫

切的狀況,我們需要為這個星球上的所有人負起 責任。然而,陳舊的帝國主義結構,事實上仍然 運作著,當權者在做決定時,卻鮮少考慮到海洋

和我們的環境。這個星球上的每個環節都受氣候 變遷的影響,但有些後果相對上更加緊迫和激烈。

隨著全球暖化導致海平面上升,海洋的使用與政 策改變,旱災、水災等等構畫成多幅不平等的地 圖。當我們談論海洋的時候,說的到底是誰的海 洋?誰是氣候變遷最大的受害者?他們的聲音何

時才能被聽見?哪種經濟形式能夠為哪裡的人民 提供幸福的生活和高度的人權?貨物流通和人口 移動如何相互影響?

幾個世紀以來,海洋一直是藝術家的靈感來源,它

自身的歷史與能動性同時作為象徵與本體。拿洪 水或海嘯的古老故事來說,這些故事已被鑲進宗 教神話中並常見於繪畫和雕刻作品之中。2 在現代

主義中,海洋代表對立於人類的崇高他者 3,它的

存在反襯出陸地中心論的問題。 但亞倫.瑟庫拉 和 諾 爾. 柏 區(Allan Sekula and Noël Burch) 在他們的史詩散文電影(essay-film)〈被遺忘的 空間〉4(2010)中指出,我們早已忽略海洋其實

是具有能動性的空間、資本主義的空間,也是我 們自身的反照。在一個人、物和理念都可以通過

數位技術或者飛機四處穿梭的年代,全球許多的 人和貨物仍然在海洋緩慢的時間-空間中繼續流 動。看不見的權力變化仍決定著我們的世界,影 響著世界上的實體構造和棲身其中的人們。

全球海洋經濟受大量勞工和企業所驅動。由孟買 團 體 CAMP 執 導 的〈 水 手 與 海 灣 〉(2013) 是


一部費時四年拍攝的電影,全程以手機拍攝從喀

那些帶著訊息的紀念明信片上,我們看到被包裝

(Baluchistan)以及南伊朗的男性水手,來往於

與文化帶來的毀滅性後果(例如:為了建造豪華

奇 縣(Kutch)、 信 德 省(Sindh)、 俾 路 支 省

波斯海灣、阿登海灣,一直到索馬利亞海岸,運 輸生活用品、汽車、義大利麵等貨物。影片中的

水手雖然未選擇匿名,但卻是從一種私密的角度 揭示了水手的日常活動和相互關係,希望藉此喚 起大家關注不顯眼的勞工與其權益。這些水手親 自參與選擇背景聲音和影片拍攝,並將他們的例 行工作和社會關係與觀眾分享。對勞工更加唯物 主義的描繪,則來自彼得.荷頓(Peter Hutton)

的作品〈在海上〉(2007)。曾經擔任商船航海

員的藝術家荷頓,詳細記錄了一艘大型輪船的全 球生命史:於南韓建造出廠,最後在孟加拉被拆 解。

貨物的流動近似於人口的流動,在當前的戰爭危 機、飢餓、乾旱、政治動盪以及氣候變遷之下, 策劃本展的同時無法不去思考複雜的時下社會運

動和全球的移民人口。三不管的海域和三不管的 經濟──例如冒險跨海的人蛇偷渡──二者是相 互串通的。

隨著科技不斷的革新、地理資訊擷取量的擴大,

海洋正在改變我們感受和度量世界的方式。同時,

海洋還被捲入一種新的主權架構,包括離岸避稅 港、出口加工區以及海軍的擴張。這些不醒目但

具功能性的區域 所組成的全球性網絡,日漸發展 5

成有力的政策載體。「如果股票市場是一個由抽

象的金錢所主宰的場域,那麼港口就是一個貨物 大宗且極快速流動的場域。」亞倫.瑟庫拉在他 1995 年的論文攝影 (photo-essay) 作品〈魚的故

事〉6 裡這麼說道。「但是當進出港口的貨物越是

藉著貨櫃而標準化──也就是更加合理化、自動 化──港口也就越近似股票市場。」

本展另一個觀點在於西方對「異國」──或者說

是被海洋與赤道所區隔的文化與環境──的侵犯。 在〈加勒比海!〉(2016)中,超級南美人(一 個由拉丁美洲建築師和城市規劃師組成的團體)

揭發了資本如何製造這些慾望,特別是加勒比旅 遊業以及由歐洲人所支配的企業。7 在超級南美人

出來的「異國情調」如何對該地區的經濟、環境

在《 自 然 之 外 的 海 洋 》 展 覽 中, 錯 置 (displacement) 是 一 條 重 要 的 線 索, 身 份 認

同和差異的創造一直都與自然的符號化相聯繫。 綜觀歷史,自然就和女性一樣,始終被懸置於主 要思維之外,重要性總不如工業和資本的升值。

當前人類面對的巨大難題都肇因於以宰制女性、

他者和自然為基礎的資本主義父權結構。金炯善 (Hyung S. Kim 音譯)紀念碑式的肖像攝影作品 記錄了韓國濟州島的海女及其具反抗性的母系傳 統。在十八世紀,朝鮮政府對男性潛水員課以重 稅,為了避開這種統治手段,女性於是被送去從

事潛水工作,這賦予了她們支撐家庭和探索海洋 深處的能力。這一系列肖像攝影作品構建了跨世 代的婦女群像。照片中的婦女,直視觀眾的眼神 凸顯了女性的力量。

在 1960 和 1970 年 代, 許 多 解 構 海 洋 和 環

境 問 題 的 藝 術 家 都 是 女 性, 例 如 貝 蒂. 波 蒙 (Betty Beaumont)、安妮絲.丹妮斯(Agnes

Denes)、 邦 妮. 希 爾 克(Bonnie Sherk)、 娜 雅. 阿 塔 法(Navjot Altaf)、 派 翠 莎. 喬 韓 生

(Patricia Johanson)和米爾勒.拉德曼.烏寇

絲(Mierle Laderman Ukeles)以及其他無數女 性藝術家。這得歸功於 1974 年弗朗絲娃.德奧波

妮(Françoise d’Eaubonne)在他的論文〈女性 主義或者毀滅〉8 提出「生態女權主義」一詞,這

使她成了法國「婦女解放運動」(MLF)和「同志

的革命行動前線」(FHAR)9 的創始成員。在這

篇論文中,德奧波妮將社會漠視婦女與輕蔑環境歷 史的事實進行了比對,並分析地球環境發展方向和 婦女生殖能力,二者何以隨著父權時代的出現而被 控管,而其後果都是全球性的。德奧波妮將目前的

生態危機直接歸因於父權體系的機制,這種機制崛 起自男性發覺自己在受孕和農產中的角色:最早的 生產工具和人類對土地最早建立歸屬的行為。10

After Nature, Whose Ocean? by ALAINA CLAIRE FELDMAN

“I figured I’d show them a picture of where the rift valley was and where it pulled apart. There’s truth to the old cliché that a picture is worth a thousand words and that seeing is believing.” — Marie Tharp, oceanographic cartographer and cocreator of the first global map of the ocean floor.

The exhibition The Ocean After Nature examines how the present seascape is shaped in an era when human beings have become the main force in the development of the planet. The works reveal how we value and shape the ocean and how politics, economies, and culture propel today’s planetary issues. Instead of offering direct solutions,the works employ aesthetic i mag i nat ion,encou r ag i ng a ret h i n k i ng of our place in the world. Together, these works highlight a universal environmental concern that is tied to a constellation of problems: from the extraction and abuses of natural resources to shift ing populat ion dynamics; from the militaries’ infiltration of the waters to the myths of the exotic which are advertized to us. They trace critical changes in our relationship with the natural world specifically through the frame of the ocean, the fluid network that connects vast parts of our environments, and the very site from which all life originates. The world we occupy is the world that we have made, one shaped by the existence of humans. Theorists and scientists have recently proposed that we live in an age where human beings have become the dominant power in the development of the planet.1 We are shaping the world through a collective architecture where power is enforced through industries, politics, and culturally produced desires, which in turn drive climate change. Our planet is no longer natural in the Romantic or Transcendentalist sense because nothing exists independently of the human hand. The agency of humans and the rest of the world—our soil, our animals, and our ocean— are all tangled together. We have gone beyond Nature. 7

TheCUBE

But this exhibition does not propose a pessimistic view of the current situation as a means to an end. The Ocean After Nature attempts to raise a collective consciousness: We do have agency and we can cause change through our actions. It interrogates various ways in which the ocean has mattered to people, both in terms of more subjective representations, and of the material relationship to how things become shaped through these depictions. The urgent situation we are in, where carbon emissions slowly eat away at the atmosphere, causing our glaciers to melt and sea levels to rise, requires an acceptance of responsibility for everyone across the planet. An outdated, imperialist structure is currently in place by which those in power making decisions regarding the ocean and our environment are rarely held accountable for their consequences on others. All parts of the planet are affected by climate change, but the consequences for some are more urgent and extreme than for others. R ising sea levels, changes in ocean use and policy, and f looding and drought are consistent with global warming, in turn creating cartographies of inequality. Whose ocean do we speak about when we speak about the ocean? Who are those most deeply affected by climate shifts and when do they have the opportunity to be heard? Which economies provide well-being and high human rights for citizens in which parts of the world? How are the movement of goods and the movement of people contingent on one another? For centuries the ocean has inspired artists, both as a symbol and as an entity with its own history and agency. Ancient stories of f looding or tidal waves, for instance, were anchored in religious mythology and distributed through painting and sculpture. 2 Within modernism, the ocean represented the sublime otherness 3 of humankind, a foil for our own terracentric troubles. But A llan Sekula and Noël Burch suggest in their epic essay-film, The Forgotten Space 4 (2010), that the ocean has long been ignored as a space of agency, of capitalism, and as a reflection of ourselves. In an age when


people, objects, and ideas are expected to arrive instantaneously through digital or airspace, the simultaneous slow time-space of the ocean continues to propel a majority of the movement of goods and people around the world. A n invisible displacement of power determines our world—both its physical architecture and the humans who inhabit it.

which the abstract character of money rules, the harbor is the site in which material goods appear in bulk, in the very flux of exchange,” says Allan Sekula in his 1995 photo-essay Fish Story. 6 “But the more regularized, literally containerized, the movement of goods in harbors is—that is, the more rationalized and automated—the more the harbor comes to resemble the stock market.”

The global maritime economy is spurred by a massive amount of labor and industry. Directed by the Mumbai-based collective CAMP, From Gulf to Gulf to Gulf (2013) is a film four years in the making, captured entirely on the cell phones of male sailors from Kutch, Sindh, Baluchistan, and Southern Iran traveling between the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Aden, and the Somali coast as they transport goods such as livestock, cars, and pasta. These contents are not anonymous but offer an intimate perspective in revealing the everyday activities and relations of the sailors, calling attention to the human side of invisible labor. The sailors have chosen the soundtrack and shot the film themselves. They author the images of their daily business and social relations to share with the audience. A more materialist depiction of labor is documented through the apparatus of maritime labor: the transoceanic container ship that appears in At Sea (2007), by Peter Hutton. An artist and former merchant seaman himself, Hutton chronicles the global life of a leviathan ship beginning with its birth in South Korea to its termination of breaking and scrapping in Bangladesh.

A not her point ta ken up in t his ex hibit ion is a Western encroachment on the “exotic” or cultures and environments separated by oceans and hemispheres. In Al Caribe! (2016), Supersudaca (a Latin American collective of architects and urban planners) divulge how these desires are produced for capital’s sake, specifically within the Caribbean tourist industry and predominantly by European corporations.7 Supersucada’s informational souvenir postcards reveal the devastating consequences of the manufactured “exotic” on domestic economies, environments, and cultures (for example: the erasure of mangroves to clear space for luxury hotels or the production of synthetic palm trees in the Netherlands which are imported to the Caribbean, a simulacra of Nature displacing the indigenous flora).

The movement of goods is analogous to the movement of bodies. It would be impossible to organize this exhibition without thinking about the complex current movements and the migrations of people around the planet, given the current crisesof wars, famine, drought, political turmoil, and climate change itself. Deregulated waters and deregulated economies, such as those illegally and dangerously smuggling bodies across the ocean, are complicit with one another. A d v a nc ement s of t e c h nolog y a nd ne w capabilities of collecting vast information about geography and the ocean are changing how we perceive and quantify our world.

Displacement is a dominant thread in T he Ocean After Nature. Identity and productions of difference have long been associated with the symbolizations of nature. Like women, throughout history, nature has been represented as otherness to dominant thinking, secondary to industry and the acceleration of capital. Many of our current problems were developed by capitalist patriarchy built on the foundation of governing women, others, and nature. Hyung S. Kim’s monumental photographic portraits of haenyeo document a defying accomplishment of a matriarchal tradition of divers from the Jeju province in Korea. In the 18th century, the Korean government heavily taxed the harvests of male divers, so to circumvent these rules, women were sent to dive, empowering them with the ability to provide for their families and explore the depths of the ocean. The portraits frame an intergenerational group of women with direct gazes that confront the spectator and highlight the women’s power.

among innumerable others. Cred ited w ith coining the term “eco-feminism” in her 1974 essay Le féminisme ou la mort (Feminism or Death), 8 Françoise d’Eaubonne was a founding member of the French MLF and FHAR.9 In this essay, d’Eaubon ne compa res societ y’s d isrega rd for women to its historical contempt for the environment, and analyses how the control of choices concer n ing t he development of environments of the planet and the control of women’s reproductive capacities were equally seized w it h t he advent of patr iarchy—t he consequences of which are global. D’Eubonne locates the direct cause of the current ecological crisis within the institution of patriarchy, which arose when men first discovered their own role in conception and appropriated agriculture, the first means of production, and the first fixation of humans to land.10 Both “woman” and “nature” have suf fered from political and intellectual discrimination for centuries, but through art we can imagine a future multitude of scientists not distinguished by gender, race, class, ability, or geography, who are ready to defend the world’s ocean against the environmental wars we have waged. The Ocean After Nature includes a compliation of photographs in book form by the AmericanVietnamese artist An-My Lê, from her expansive series Events Ashore. This series, shot along coastlines from Japan to Antarctica, depicts United States’ military and naval drills while alluding to overlapping themes such as 19th centur y Romantic painting, contemporar y sociopolitical landscapes, and images of empire. With a wide and long lens, Lê distances herself from the action. She simultaneously deconstructs and engenders the power of a seascape by positioning the camera far from her subjects. Images of these meticulously choreographed drills give insight to the government’s calculated enforcement and establishment of national borders on the surface on the ocean. W h i le t he accelerat ion of tech nolog y has broadened our understanding of the physical ocean, marine jurisdiction has not advanced much despite the immense amounts of data collected and having lived with the ocean since the beginning of human existence. Borders are static on land but the ocean is constantly in flux. The relationship between the ocean and land is complex because of the ocean’s sheer volume and the constant rifts in the ocean floor (caused 9

by moving tectonic plates), which make it more difficult to measure and quantify than static land. In 1982, the UN introduced Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ): oceanic zones encompassing the area beyond and adjacent to the territorial sea, which are also subject to the proximate legal regime.11 EEZ zones determine the rights and use of the ocean 200 nautical miles beyond a coastline. In Rafi Segal and Yonatan Cohen’s Territorial Map of the World (2014/16), a world map is depicted by key lines not based on traditional boundaries between nation-states or geography, but by EEZ zones, wh ich conceptua l ize a radically different way of looking at our governing divides. The map depicts borders bumping into and blurring one another. For example, Marseille and Tripoli have much more in common than Marseille and Paris because of their relationship to the Mediterranean. This revised territorial map offers a rethinking of what a map is and what our current relationship to other lands and waters could be, should new borders govern us. When dealing with the ocean, what happens in one part of the planet effects us all. In 2011, primordial fears were reactivated across the world when a tsunami hit the east coast of Japan, causing f looding and the destruction of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. This led to a disastrous seepage of toxic radioactive material into the air, land, and ocean. Radiation screening programs were introduced for humans, as well as materials, and food from the region. Despite ea rly wa r n i ng s of fau lt y rad iator designs,12 the production of nuclear power supplies continued. Today, people in the region are left with catastrophe permeating the air, the ocean, and the very food consumed. But these seemingly localized concerns are ultimately global ones. The ocean will wash these fears across the Pacific, from coast to coast, for years to come. A g a i n st t he ba c k g rou nd of t h i s d i s a ster, U N I T E D B RO T H E R S ( E i a n d To m o o Arakawa) question how laws continue to protect us, harm us, and govern us all at the same time. In their performance Does This Soup Taste Ambivalent? (2015) in Los Angeles, in 2015, Ei and Tomoo Arakawa, along with their mother—all from the Fukushima region—concocted a soup using daikon radishes grown near the region and offered it to the public. A hospitable gesture was overturned into a psychological barrier. Posters on the walls near the performance showed that the radishes had been tested for radioactivity


and deemed safe by the government, but the possibility of regulations gone wrong loomed in the mind of many passersby as they decided not to eat the soup. The certainty of the dish’s safety and our active participation in consumption are confused by the immanent environmental disaster across the Pacific. Sound is equally significant in the multi-media installation A Dashed State(2015) by Manny Montelibano. As the camera captures islands and the ocean from above and beside, a cinematic analogy of the psychological fracturing of the Philippines (in particular, the West Philippine Sea where the political governing of islands is constantly contested) is paired with a soundtrack of tuning a radio dial. News reports, pop songs, and commercials are blended with traditional epic songs of the indigenous Palawan people, reminding us that the history of colonization and the sea are swan songs of the future. Concerned with the historical and the peripheral, The Ocean After Nature exhibition itself functions as a Foucauldian heterotopic ship, participating within the maritime systems it aims to dispute. Moving from city to city, regardless of proximity to ocean or lack thereof, this exhibition has been conceived to encourage cultural discourse and production wherever it lands. At each present i ng venue, host i ng a r t s pa ces a re encouraged to include local artists to participate in exhibitionary dialogue by adding works to the exhibition. Facilitated as a collaboration between Independent Curators International (ICI), the hosting curator, and myself, these additions aim to connect a hyperlocal context to the international narrative of the exhibition, thus providing additional familiar frames for which viewers can engage with the works. Exhibitionmaking holds an important ethical and political stake in the history of art and the history of cultural inquiry in general. As we reconsider the ocean in terms of responsibility to those who may have been excluded from or invisible to this imperial narrative, we also need to decenter ourselves and our roles in the larger scheme of planetary forces.

被遺忘的空間 The Forgotten Space

錄像,112 分鐘,2010 Video, 112 min., 2010

簡介 文 / 亞倫.瑟庫拉 + 諾爾.柏區

我們的影片〈被遺忘的空間〉是關於全球化以及在我們的現代性中那「被遺忘的空間」──海洋。 首先,全球化即是跨國經濟對人類生活的每一個角落與縫隙的滲透。即使是在經濟學還未被認可 為一種科學之前,跨國經濟就已被視為至關重要,「全球化」是它的最新化身。原型資本主義的

第一定律:市場必須通過國外貿易使自身倍增地成長,否則就將停滯消亡。十七世紀最老練的重

商主義維權者,威廉.佩蒂(William Petty)認為:「我們從製造業獲得的遠比從農牧業獲得的多, 而商品買賣的所獲又比製造業來得多。一個商船船員的效能等同於三個農夫。」(《政治算數》, 1690 年)

當代對於整合、全球化、自我調節的資本主義世界經濟的願景,可以追溯回資本主義中奉行的「冒 險精神」。從目前的狀況來看,當今已幾乎不存在阻止市場壓力擴張的物質性阻力。投資透過網 路無形地流動,彷彿是變魔術。錢轉錢,錢賺錢,財富沒有重量。當海上貿易被回想起時,已經 是一種古老而過時的經濟古董,來自一個衰老、生鏽、粗䋲索吱吱作響的的世界,一個動作緩慢

的笨重傢伙。如果以佩蒂的老教誨來說,一個商船船員等值於三個農夫,而如今就算把船員換算 成多少倍的農夫也都不算太超過。但若是沒有農夫或水手的辛勤工作,我們都活不成。

對於那些來回旅行於天際,或是在網路世界「衝浪」的人來說,幾乎再也不會把海洋看作一處運

輸的空間。相反的,我們生活的網路時代,是一個不論在哪個地方都可以透過電子設備即時與另 一個地方保持聯繫的時代。

在這個奇幻世界裡,距離的概念被廢除了。雖然世界上 90%以上的貨櫃運輸仰賴的就是海洋,但

已開發國家中受過教育的人卻認為貨物的移動跟他們一樣,是經由空中運輸,而那些在眨眼間便 流轉的金錢,就是所有財富的抽象根源。

我們的假設是海洋仍舊為全球化的關鍵空間。除此之外,再也沒有其他地方更能夠彰顯當代資本 主義的迷思、暴力和異化,但這些事實卻非不證自明,因而必須要被視作一幅拼圖、一團謎語或 者是一道待解的難題。

工廠系統不再集中於已開發國家,而是已經變得更加流動和分散。當船舶變得越來越像建築物或 「即時」分送系統的巨型浮動倉庫,工廠就像是船舶一樣,能在夜裡偷偷地溜走,永無止盡地尋

找更便宜的勞工。洛杉磯或香港的成衣工廠一關閉,工作台和裁縫機隨即就出現在廣州或達卡的 郊區。以汽車工業為例,船舶的功能就好比舊式整合汽車工廠中的輸送帶:各種零件被送到世界 各處,一站站地走向最終的組裝線。

海運的功能不再是一個獨立的、重商主義的企業,反而已經成為世界工業系統中一個必須的組成 元件。兩個強大的迷思讓我們失去洞察這些事情整體關聯的能力,並扼殺了我們的好奇心。第一

個迷思是,海洋不過是一個殘存的商業空間、一個文化古董和經濟古董的貯水池。第二個迷思是, 我們正生活在一個後工業社會中,模控系統和服務業經濟已經從根本上將笨重材料之製造與加工 的「舊經濟模式」邊緣化了。如此一來,認為它被淘汰的錯覺使我們遺忘了這些遼闊的區域,只 能遙想著它過去美好的時光。

我們對這些迷思的回應是,海是理解全球化產業主義的關鍵。若沒有海洋物流技術的全面現代化 和成熟的「革命」,全球的工廠就不可能存在,全球化也無從成為熱門議題。

1950 年代中期,美國某些工業開始發展出有效提升運輸效率的貨櫃物流技術,至今已成為世界歷 史上一個重要的突破。標準化的貨物集裝金屬櫃得以迅速地從船舶轉運到高速公路上的貨車和鐵 路上的火車,徹底地改變了港口城市和海洋航道的空間與時間。

如今,經濟的規模已經有了大幅的增長,隨著船隻變得越來越大,老一點的運輸通道,比如說巴

拿馬運河,便越發走向被淘汰的命運。超級港口建造於遠離都會中心的地方,如此才能擁有大片

平地來存放跟分類來自世界各地的貨櫃。為陡峭山坡和壯觀景色所包圍的深水老港口,顯然不符 現今這種新的空間需求,它反而還不如需要持續疏浚,好讓吃水量越來越深的新式超級大船能夠 安全通行的三角洲。

An Introduction by ALLAN SEKULA and NOËL BURCH Our film, The Forgotten Space, is about globalization and the sea, the “forgotten space” of our modernity. First and foremost, globalization is the penetration of the multinational corporate economy into every nook and cranny of human life. It is the latest incarnation of an imperative that has long been accepted as vital necessity, even before economics could claim the status of a science. The first law of proto-capitalism: markets must multiply through foreign trade or they will stagnate and die. As the most sophisticated of the 17th-century defenders of mercantilism, William Petty, put it, “There is much more to be gained by Manufacture than Husbandry, and by Merchandize than Manufacture. A Seaman is in effect three Husbandmen.” (Political Arithmetick, 1690). The contemporary vision of an integrated, globalized, self-regulating capitalist world economy can be traced back to some of these axioms of the capitalist “spirit of adventure.” And yet what is largely missing from the current picture is any sense of material resistance to the expansion of the market imperative. Investment flows intangibly, through the ether, as if by magic. Money begets money. Wealth is weightless. Sea trade, when it is remembered at all, is a relic of an older and obsolete economy, a world of decrepitude, rust, and creaking cables, of the slow movement of heavy things. If Petty’s old fable held that a seafarer was worth three peasants, neither count for much in the even more fabulous new equation. And yet we would all die without the toil of farmers and seafarers. Those of us who travel by air, or who “go surfing” on the Web, scarcely think of the sea as a space of transport any more. We live instead in the age of cyberspace, of instantaneous electronic contact between everywhere and everywhere else. In this fantasy world the very concept of distance is abolished. More than 90% of the world’s cargo moves by sea, and yet educated people in the developed world believe that material goods travel as they do—by air—and that money, traveling in the blink of an eye, is the abstract source of all wealth. Our premise is that the sea remains the crucial space of globalization. Nowhere else is the disorientation, violence, and alienation of contemporary capitalism more manifest, but this truth is not self-evident, and must be approached as a puzzle, or mystery, a problem to be solved. The factory system is no longer concentrated in the developed world but has become mobile and dispersed. As ships become more like buildings, the giant f loating warehouses of the “ just-in-time” system of distribution, factories begin to resemble ships, stealing away stealthily in the night, restlessly searching for ever-cheaper labor. A garment factory in Los Angeles or Hong Kong closes, the work benches and sewing machines reappear in the suburbs of Guangzhou orDacca. In the automobile industry, for example, the function of the ship is akin to that of conveyor systems within the old integrated car factory: parts span the world on their journey to the final assembly line. The function of sea trade is no longer a separate, mercantilist enterprise, but has become an integral component of the world-industrial system. We are distracted from the full implications of this insight by two powerful myths, which stifle curiosity. The first myth is that the sea is nothing more than a residual mercantilist space, a reservoir of cultural and economic anachronisms. The second myth is that we live in a post-industrial society, that cybernetic systems and the service economy have radically marginalized the “old economy” of heavy material fabrication and processing. Thus the fiction of obsolescence mobilizes vast reserves of sentimental longing for things which are not really dead. Our response to these myths is that the sea is the key to understanding globalized 13

TheCUBE


industrialism. Without a thoroughly modern and sophisticated “revolution� in ocean-going cargo-handling technology, the global factory would not exist, and globalization would not be a burning issue. What began in the mid-1950s as a modest American improvement in cargo logistics, an effort to achieve new eff iciencies within a particular industry, has now taken on world historic importance. The cargo container, a standardized metal box, capable of being quickly transferred from ship to highway lorry to railroad train, has radically transformed the space and time of port cities and ocean passages. There have been enormous increases in economies of scale. Older transport links, such as the Panama Canal, slide toward obsolescence as ships become more and more gargantuan. Superports, pushed far out from the metropolitan center, require vast level tracts for the storage and sorting of containers. The old sheltering deep-water port, with its steep hillsides and its panoramic vistas, is less suited to these new spatial demands than low delta planes that must nonetheless be continually dredged to allow safe passage for the deeper and deeper draft of the new super-ships.

水手與海灣 From Gulf to Gulf to Gulf CAMP ( 印度 IND )

有些探險家要去的是「沒人去過的地方」,但這位木船船長說他去的是「別人不去的地方」接著 小聲地說「別人不敢再去的地方」,暗示著事情會隨著時間而改變。在這個故事裡,他的目標在 十五年前是伊拉克,而今天則是索馬利亞。「自由貿易」的邊界是由一些特定團體製造出來的, 他們做一些其他人暫時認為無利可圖的事。這需要技術與才能,一種「海上的權力和抵抗」。

在此同時,船與貿易商要朝向某些目的地有其代價。如何處理預期之外的親密關係?別忘了,莎

The Ship and the Ship by CAMP Abstract from a lecture by CAMP at the Hydrarchy conference organized by Gasworks at University College London, September 2010. Unlike the explorer whose frontier is “where no one else has gone,” the wooden-ship-captain who says he goes “where no one else goes” also whispers, “anymore,” hinting that things change with time. In this story, Iraq was a destination fifteen years ago, as Somalia is today. Such horizons for “free trade” are produced by certain groups doing, openly, what others have deemed temporarily at least, unprofitable. This takes skill and a capacity, a “power and resistance at sea.” At the same time, the orientation of ships and traders towards certain destinations has its “price.” How to deal with unexpected intimacies? Remember, Sara Ahmed wrote, that the word’s contingency and contact have the same root (Latin: contigere = to touch). Goats crowd the insides of boats, charcoal catches fire. Ethiopian discotheques, sinkings off Oman, and boardings by the US navy are recorded on Gujarati sailors’ cellphones. Even if the goods are all Chinese, one state “feels” another. So there is one ship here, which could be described as brutal, bottom-feeding, capitalism as usual. And then there is another one, which has a range of peculiar and persistent properties. It is made of Malaysian timber, brought home in the monsoons, classified as a “sailing vessel”, a vigorous offspring of the traditional Arab dhow and Gujarati vahan, fed on cheap diesel from Iran and break-bulk cargo re-exported from the Emirates. These two ships tell us about the balance of forces between nation-states, tax-regimes, labor-pools and ecosystems, for example in the diagram below ... a matrix that is nevertheless perturbed, excited, by each passing ship.

2017 年春季,我開始與澎湖的非政府組織和生物學家合作,進行一個關於海洋生物的聲音計畫,持 續錄製和建立一系列聲音檔案,除了作為對珊瑚礁的聲響監測,也提供為教育和討論的聲響素材。

〈珊瑚怎麼想〉是一個持續進行的計畫,以我的田野錄音為基礎,發展為廣播與聲音裝置作品──

就像是這次在《自然之外的海洋》中的展出。這件作品邀請觀者浸淫於珊瑚礁的聲響之中。它伴隨 一系列的短文和照片,描繪這種獨特的海洋生物棲地,並在觀者心中織造出我們與海洋的關係。

2018 年春天,我將重回到澎湖,繼續與澎湖海洋生物研究中心、中研院的生物學家,以及當地非政

府組織「海洋公民基金會」合作。感謝他們的信任與陪伴,我們將一起繼續對珊瑚進行聲響的觀察。

How Corals think by YANNICK DAUBY Sounds are my access to the land, to the communities. Through recording, I am exploring, documenting, selecting fragments of the environment. Through editing and composition, I propose to the listener a perspective. Inf luenced and inspired by anthropology and ecology, I am developing works related to humans and non-humans beings, their dialogue with the geography, the physical spaces and the ecosystems. Since the last twelve years, I am regularly visiting Penghu archipelago, collecting the soundscapes of the islands. Being strongly attracted by the Ocean and its fauna, I have been witness of dramatic changes in the marine environment of this place : in 2008, a cold stream lowered the temperature of the sea, caused by the climate change, killing a huge part of the coral reefs. Since 2013, every two years with Wan-Shuen Tsai (with whom I founded Atelier Hui-Kan), we develop local projects about environment and education, creating artworks (published as vinyl records and shown during exhibitions such as Sydney Biennale 2016) and regularly I settle my own sound studio, devoted to field recording and electroacoustic composition. In Spring 2017, I started a sound project about the marine life, in collaboration with local NGO and biologists. I initiated a series of recording sessions that are constituting the first step for a sound archive, allowing acoustic monitoring of coral reefs and providing sound materials for education and conservation purpose. How Corals Think, is an on-going project, taking the form of radio work or sound installation such as this time for The Ocean After Nature, based on my field recordings. It allows the visitors to immerse into the sounds of a coral reef. It is accompanied with a series of short texts, and a few pictures, describing this specific habitat and weaving concepts about our relation to the Ocean. In Spring 2018, I will go back to Penghu, developing this collaboration with the biologists from Penghu Marine Biology Research Center and from Academia Sinica, and the local NGO (Penghu Ocean Citizens). I would like to thank these people warmly for trusting and accompanying me. Together we will continue the acoustic observation of the coral reefs. TheCUBE

影像的一種功能,它本身就會影響我們的感知。黑白影像有趣的地方是它確實會帶我們回望而不 是向前。

霍特:〈在海上〉大部份是彩色的。你覺得這件作品中的彩色影像會生產一種短暫感嗎?

荷頓:會。在我的創作生涯中,很晚開始才運用彩色影像,因為我之前太投入於黑白影像裡。後

來黑白影片有技術問題,這些影片全都使用反轉片。還有不知道幾年前,在 1990 年代柯達停止

生產反轉片── reversal film,後來叫 reversal print stock ──因此我想:「哇!慘了,你沒法

拷貝反轉片了。」你必須了解「技術」就是這麼回事,沒什麼有意思的地方。如果你用原片去沖印 ──就像我做的──才能得到比較高的品質。但一旦他們停產反轉片,你就再也不可能沖出原始影

像了。總之這是技術的問題,只能跟黑白反轉片說再見,所以我轉投黑白負片和彩色負片。不過我

還是一直在拍黑白片,因為就是喜歡。1960 年代,我開始拍片那時,黑白片真的非常好玩。我心想: 「你知道,我會拍好一陣子的黑白影像,好歹得弄明白。」然後我完全玩上癮了,我無法放棄它, 黑白正片在當時對我來說真的非常重要。它就是一個可以讓你完全沉浸在其中的東西,你愛上你的

創作媒材而且離不開它。但是彩色片也實在是很有趣,我在年輕的時候刻意不用彩色片,因為它比

黑白還要貴上許多。當我開始拍片時,心裡想的就是拍,拼命拍。我喜歡黑白影像用一種有趣的方 法把現實抽離出來,因為我們眼睛所見的並非黑與白的世界。我最愛它這點。 霍特:即使你是一個色盲,對嗎?

Ed Halter In Conversation with Peter Hutton by ED HALTER and PETER HUTTON Ed Halter: So I’m curious, when you’re selecting images, is there a tension there between a kind of timeless image and the image that’s specific to that moment? Peter Hutton: Well, I always want to go back in time. So I always want to reference the past rather than the future. And I think that’s a function of black and white influencing our perception in terms of what is. There’s something interesting about black and white that does tend to take us backward rather project us forward. EH: At Sea is largely in color. Do you think that informs the sense of temporality in the piece? PH: Yes. I sort of came into color late in my career, because I was so invested in black and white. Then there were technical issues with black and white. All those films were shot on reversal print stock—reversal film, subsequently reversal print stock. And about, I don’t know how many years ago, Kodak stopped making reversal print in the ‘90s. And I thought, ‘Oh shit, this isn’t good, you can’t make copies of reversal.’ You have to understand this is a technical thing, it’s never that interesting. If you make prints off the original—which I do— you get a much finer quality. And when they eliminated the film stock, you couldn’t make prints off the original anymore. Anyway, it’s technical. It sort of said bye-bye for black and white reversal, so I switched over to black and white negative and then color negative. And I always shoot black and white, because I just like it. It’s interesting when I started making films in the ‘60s. I thought, '‘You know, I’ll do black and white for a while, sort of get to know it.’' Then I got addicted to it and I couldn’t let it go, it was still so important to me. It’s just one of those things you fall into. You fall in love with your material and it’s hard to get away from. But color is so interesting. I avoided making color when I was young because it was a lot more expensive. When I started making films, the idea was just to shoot, shoot as much as I could. I liked the fact that black and white abstracted reality in an interesting way, since we don’t see in black and white. And I stuck with it. EH: Though you are color-blind, right? PH: Yeah. But a lot of people are color-blind. It’s not a big deal. EH: Speaking of looking, one part of your biography that’s often brought up is your time as a merchant marine on ships, which is really apparent in some of your work, but especially in At Sea . How do you think that informed the way you look at things? PH: Imagine yourself out on the forepeak of a ship crossing the Pacific, late at night, looking for lights in the distance. One of my jobs as a deckhand was to report to the bridge by ringing a bell indicating how many points off the port and bow, or the stub and bow, were lights I perceived, to indicate a ship was coming toward us. This was an old nautical tradition. But night after night for months, looking out into the void of night, I realized I could see things I never knew I could see. I could see stars reflecting on the surface of the ocean, I would see these phosphorescent explosions and phosphorescents under the sea—things I never knew my eyes were capable of. I think mariners, going back to the Vikings, had to rely on their eyes to study everything—the weather, the textures, the sea—to survive. So their eyes were very vital to things. When you spend a long time at sea, your eyes get activated in a really interesting way. It’s a world unknown to so many people. You feel like you’re almost an astronaut, you’re out there looking at things most people haven’t had the pleasure of seeing. But a lot of the things one sees can’t be recorded on film. It’s frustrating. I’ve seen so many amazing things on the bows of ships at night, and I tell this long story, which I won’t tell again about sailing into a storm one night, crossing the Indian Ocean, and it’s all about darkness. No, actually the moon was out, but then it went behind clouds and got darker and darker. I was astounded by how dark dark could be. It’s darker and darker, and I’m like, 'My god, it’s even darker.'

不帶呼吸設備,深潛入水 文 / 喬登.泰歇爾

採集海鮮的「海女」在韓國已有數百年的歷史──她們不配帶任何潛水設備或氧氣筒就深潛入海

中去做「摩集」(muljil),也就是捕撈。現今,大部份海女居住於朝鮮半島南瑞的濟州島。金 炯善用鏡頭捕捉了海女,成為系列攝影作品〈海女:海的女人〉。

「對我來說,這些婦女代表了韓國所有母親與祖母的形象。她們內心既脆弱又不可思議的堅強。」 金炯善說。

金炯善首次遇見海女是在 2011 年的一次濟州島之旅,雖然過去就曾看過海女的紀錄攝影,但他 覺得應該有更不同的方法去深入呈現她們的個性。「我對拍攝海女作為女性的角色感興趣,而不 只是把她們當成自然環境的一部份或某種職業。」

於是,金炯善開始定期造訪濟州島,獨自一人花費大量時間在海邊等待海女浮出水面。他表示,

當海女終於破水而出時,她們通常不太願意被拍攝,尤其是站在金炯善帶來白幕背景前被拍攝。 「她們會閃躲我,假裝沒看到,甚至對我破口大罵。顯然我必須先要與她們打好關係獲取信任, 當我終於能夠接近幾位海女的時候,她們反而樂意為我介紹更多有意願被拍攝的同伴,」他說:

「到後來,她們不只是習慣了我,甚至還接納我進入她們的社群,待我如兒女,令我非常感動。」

韓國駐紐約文化辦事處的主任 Ilshik Loh 告訴我們,海女以小組分工的方式入海捕撈,收益也是

平均分配,不管年齡或能力。「海女文化代表著濟州島獨特的母系文化,這在父系社會結構占主導 地位的東亞地區顯得十分特別。因為海女藉著潛水工作來養家,所以她們成了一家之主。」

在過去的三十年間,海女的人數急劇減少。金炯善見到的海女大都已年過六旬,他還聽說,三十多

歲的海女只有七位,而他只見到其中的兩位。「我很擔心海女文化將在二三十年內消失。因此,我 想儘量讓更多的人了解海女文化。」

Dive Deep Underwater Without Any Breathing Equipment by JORDAN G. TEICHER Women known as haenyeo have been gathering seafood in Korea for hundreds of years— submerging deep underwater without diving equipment or breathing apparatuses to do the muljil, or harvesting. Today, most haenyeo live on the island of Jeju, which is on the southern end of the Korean peninsula. Hyung S. Kim photographed these women in his series, “HaeNyeo: Women of the Sea. ” “For me, these women embody all the mothers and grandmothers of Korea. These women hold within them both a fragility and incredible strength,” Kim said. Kim f irst encountered haeneyo women on a trip to Jeju four years ago. Though he’d seen documentary-style photos of haeneyo before, he felt there was room to show them in a new way that provided more insight into their personalities. “I was interested in capturing the haenyeo as women, not simply viewing them as a part of the natural environment or their occupation.” Kim started visiting the island regularly, spending many hours alone as he waited for the women to surface from their dives. When they finally emerged, he said, they were often reluctant to be photographed, especially in front of the backdrop he’d brought along with him. “They would often avoid me, ignore me, or even yell at me. It was absolutely necessary for me to forge a relationship of trust with them, and when I was finally able to get close to a few of them, they in turn introduced me to other haenyeo who were willing to be photographed,” he said. “After a while they not only became used to my presence and accepted me into their community, they treated me like their own son. It was a very moving experience,” he said. Haenyeo women work as a group and divide the work between them, said Ilshik Loh, director of the Korean Cultural Service New York. They even divide their profits equally, without any consideration of age or ability. “Haenyeo culture embodies the unique matriarchal culture of Jeju society amid the powerful patriarchal societal structure that dominated the rest of East Asia. As haenyeo took up diving as a way to support their families, they became the heads of the household.” In the past 30 years, the number of haenyeo has fallen drastically. The majority of the women Kim met were over the age of 60, and he was told that there are only seven haenyeo in their thirties, only two of which he was able to meet. “I am concerned the haenyeo culture will die out in the next 20 to 30 years. For this reason, I want to share the haenyeo culture with as many people as possible.” TheCUBE

岸上事件 Events Ashore 黎安美 An-My Lê ( 越南 VNM )

記得海洋 文 / 歐維歐.朵穆所古魯

世上存在著海洋的記憶。海洋記得我們生命的痕跡、不同時代的痕跡,這些記憶承載於洋流流過 大陸沿岸,尤其是移民和戰爭的記憶。在黎安美的攝影中,她不斷拆解某種雄偉的海洋情懷,並

喚起另一種詭異的海洋記憶。一方面,在照片中遼闊的海平線暗示著被人類活動所侵擾的自然,

另一方面又表現出了海洋對人類細微舉動的包容,而在這永恆的舞台上,人類持續地發生這些行

雨什麼時候會來嗎?海洋的記憶在這些圖像中透露出端倪,黎安美清晰的視野呈現了冷冽的沙岸上 各式各樣詭異而龐大的軍用車輛,彷彿是被帝國殖民的鬼魂所附身。這種張力閃現出超越軍事的衛

星網格地圖的一瞥。看到〈卸載登陸氣墊船與坦克,加州,2006〉這張照片裡從容登陸的氣墊船, 觀者不禁想到那首靈感來自布勒哲爾畫作〈伊卡洛斯墜落的風景〉的詩,「華美的船必然看見了/ 這幕奇景,一個少年從天空墜落/不過它自有目的地要去,繼續平靜的航行。」

Oceans Remember by ÖVÜL O. DURMUSOGLU Oceanic memory exists. Oceans remember traces of our lives, traces of different times, which they carry along with their currents and along continents, especially memories of migration and war. In An-My Lê’s photography a certain heroic oceanic feeling is constantly dismantled while an uncanny oceanic memory is invoked. On one hand, the vast horizons suggest nature interrupted by human acts, and at the same time, they reveal perseverance in the smallest of these acts performed to continue the human life surrounded by this timeless stage. Lê was evacuated from Vietnam in 1975 when she was 15, crossing oceans in a military-transport plane. Lê is intrigued by the complexity of military, the history it writes, and how it is written. The intricate gaze she performs with her camera situated on a hilltop evokes her curious observation of the military’s infiltration of the sea from the air. Lê’s photographs selected for The Ocean After Nature are from her first color series, Events Ashore, which is the result of a nine-year-long observation of American military training expeditions and research missions from Iraq to Antarctica. Lê patiently observes a universe of masculine performance and hierarchy with distance and sympathy. The soldiers in her photographs are strong and helpless at the same time, unaware of the repetition of war in history. Do they know when the next storm will be while they scan the horizon? Oceanic memory prevails in these images. Lê’s clear vision presents the eerie appearance of various colossal army vehicles on both sandy and icy coasts, as if touched by imperial colonial ghosts. Such a tension gives a glimpse beyond the satellite grids of territorialization identified with the military. Looking at the nonchalant landing hovercraft in Offload, LCACs and Tank, California (2006), the viewer cannot help but remember the poem inspired by Bruegel’s Landscape with the Fall of Icarus: “the expensive delicate ship that must have seen/ Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky/ Had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.” TheCUBE

曼尼.蒙特里巴諾的〈消沈狀態〉是一部多頻道錄像作品,著眼於菲律賓周邊水域,特別是西菲

Creeping Presence by PATRICK D. FLORES Manny Montelibano’s A Dashed State is a multi-channel video piece on the condition of the waters around the Philippines, specifically the West Philippine Sea. He finds an acute angle from Bataraza, the southernmost municipality of Palawan, between the Sulu Sea and the West Philippine Sea, which is a part of the disputed South China Sea. It is from Bataraza that Filipinos journey to the contested territories of the Kalayaan Island Group and Sabah. The film invites discussion of the history of world-making and the history of the sea in the long duration in relationship to cosmologies and the histories of empires, nationstates, and regions. He pursues the method employed in the 1950 film Genghis Khan in which the screenplay’s Tagalog is overlain with the English of the American playwright-critic James Agee, like some kind of double. Hearing the dialogue twofold, a bilingual, Tagalog-speaking audience can fish out fragments of both languages. Montelibano creates a cognate track of epics and radio frequencies from nearby China that capture the productive confusion of sonicscapes from around the islands. Finally, Bataraza, as a kind of edge and aperture to a vast world that is challenged by nationalisms, is inf lected with other images of f light, the swarm of its nature, the violence of its successive colonialisms, and the intensity of its migrations across sagas and shipwrecks. At a certain level, Montelibano subtly stirs up another ripple in worldly discourse by insinuating sound, a vibration that is a string in a wave in the sea. The sound put in place is an epic, voiced by chanters from generation to generation. He has chosen the epic Kudaman of the Palawan people and their ethnoscape. The epic intersperses with modern radio waves, and here Montelibano explores micropolyphony, in which he makes a rustle, an acoustic spectrality that hovers, haunts, chases, stalks, and yet also interferes with the cogency of chant. It is a creeping and throbbing and intricate sound, one that encroaches on everyday life and is in turn disrupted by the travail of the epic voice that sings of genesis and prevailing. TheCUBE

Interference in Paradise by MARÍA DEL CARMEN CARRIÓN Supersudaca is a collective founded in 2001 in Rotterdam by a group of architects as a delocalized collaborative network with a f lexible structure. Members are based throughout different parts of Latin America and Europe. Together, they share a common interest in urban research and design within a Latin American context, focusing on public spaces, experimental housing, and the tourism industry. Since 2008 , the collective has been investigating the development of manufactured infrastructure connected with the tourism industry in the Caribbean region, as well as its impact and consequences on the domestic. Their research takes the form of alternative mapping and conceptual charts, interviews, ref lexive texts, and compilations of visual typology under the umbrella title of Al Caribe!. Al Caribe! covers the impact of the industry on the local economies, the use of land, the forms of architectonic design that have emerged, and the strategies that different countries have implemented in order to attract travelers. Important attention has been paid to the development of “all inclusive” tourism, and the relationship or non-relationship that it proposes with the local territory. In The Ocean After Nature, Al Caribe! takes the form of takeaway postcards that present, on the front, popularized images of exotic and idealized aspects of the region, and on the back, questions and factual interjections about the impact that tourism has on the economy and environment. Under the glossy cover of marketing images of a “tropical paradise,” a series of fractures emerge, presenting the viewer with the challenge to question the seductive nature of tourist imagery and consider his or her own implication and impact as a consumer. The work addresses the viewer directly as a potential tourist. Are we aware of or are we complicit in the structures that are implemented in order to create a perfect tropical experience? TheCUBE

這碗湯令人困擾嗎? Does this Soup Taste Ambivalent? 團結兄弟

在舌尖上 文 / 蘭卡.塔特索爾

團結兄弟問的問題不是: 「這碗湯好喝嗎?」或「這碗湯有毒嗎?」或是「這碗湯是否像藝術家的母親為 了這場表演特地從日本來到這裡,以來自 2011 年發生地震、海嘯和巨大核災三種災難的福島生產 的蔬菜所煮的湯呢?」維基百科寫道,在那場災難中有 15,894 人死亡,但是那真正的含義是什麼?

團結兄弟的作品在《自然之外的海洋》展覽中展出的作品發展自一場數度在國際場合呈現的表演, 其中包含 2015 年在洛杉磯外約四十英哩的國家公園中央,在一個假的「西部」城鎮舉辦的類藝

術博覽會,叫作「派拉蒙牧場」。加州與日本在同一片海洋上,所以當 2011 年福島發生核災時, 有些人(包括我母親)非常擔心輻射是否會飄到他們在加州的家園。如今看來,雖然這個問題在 當時的確有點自私,但也指出了海洋是連接兩塊大陸地的水域,而且它的洋流中承載著毒物、資

訊、殖民主義、貿易、食物,當然,還有歡愉。這場由藝術家組織的奇特藝術博覽會,想像上是 愉悅的。但通過運用創傷、失去和權力操控而進行的藝術展演,又會有怎麼樣的愉悅?或許比你 原來以為的多。

TheCUBE


當藝術場域中出現食物時,人們一般都會覺得它應該是「好玩的」、「關係美學式的」、「參與式 藝術的」或甚至是小型的「烏托邦」模型。與此相反,以團結兄弟的湯為中心所發生的交流卻是尷 尬的、需要調解的。觀眾緊張地笑著,甚至感到害怕。或許你會覺得,與造成湯裡蔬菜被毁滅性地

污染的災難相較,你自己感受到的小小恐懼,根本沒什麼。也或許你會這麼想,在全球暖化把你滅 頂前,或許喝了這碗湯就先讓你沒命。它可能會讓你處在不知如何是好的狀態。又再或許,你會想 到一個家庭的成員──母親與兒子──在一個商業藝術場域中發表美學宣言是件挺不尋常事。

最後,那鍋湯見底了。事實上,它在派特蒙牧場很快就被清空。隨著湯被喝光,現場演出的可視部

份也結束了。而留在人體消化系統的,是那以 2011 年遭污染的土壤中長出來的蔬菜為材料,緩慢

細心烹煮出來的湯。消化系統以嘴與舌為開端,這兩種器官在被問到與作品同名的問題:「這碗湯 喝起來令人困擾嗎?」之時,只能說出微不足道的答案:「我不知道。」

On the Tip of the Tongue by LANKA TATTERSALL The question asked by UNITED BROTHERS is not: Does this soup taste good? Or, does this soup taste toxic? Or, does this soup taste like it was made by the artists’ mother, who was imported from Japan for the purpose of this performance, to make this soup for you, with vegetables from Fukushima, where that triple terror of an earthquake, a tsunami, and massive nuclear meltdowns happened in 2011, and where one of the brothers owns tanning salons? Wikipedia says 15,894 deaths, but what does that really mean? The works by UNITED BROTHERS presented in The Ocean After Nature grew out of a performance that was staged several times internationally, including, in 2015, at a sort of- art-fair called “Paramount Ranch” some 40 miles outside of Los Angeles, in a fake “Western” town in the middle of a national park. California shares an ocean with Japan and when the nuclear meltdown happened in Fukushima in 2011, some people (including my own mother) wondered if the radiation would reach their Californian homes. This question, which seemed as self-centered then as it does today, nevertheless points to the fact that the ocean is a body that connects disparate land masses, and that carries toxicity, information, colonialism, trade, food, and yes, pleasure within its currents. This particular art fair, which was organized by artists, was, subjectively, pleasurable. What pleasure exists in working through trauma, loss, and the manipulation of power? Maybe more than one might at first assume. When food is served in an art context, people typically assume it’s going to be “fun,” “relational” or “participatory,” or maybe even some kind of small model of “utopian.” Instead, around the UNITED BROTHERS’s soup, the exchange is awkward, mediated, nervously laughed, and maybe even terrifying. Perhaps you feel that your small degree of terror is nothing in comparison to the terror of the events that possibly made the vegetables in this soup disastrously contaminated. Maybe this soup will kill you, if global warming doesn’t kill you first. It could be that you are being ridiculous. Perhaps you think about how unusual it is to see a family unit—a mother and her sons—enacting an aesthetic statement in a commercial art context. Eventually the soup runs out. Actually, at Paramount Ranch, it ran out quickly. With the soup gone, the visible live performance ended. What was left was the soup, made slowly and with care, with vegetables grown in soil turned toxic in 2011, working its way through the digestive system. A system which begins with the mouth and the tongue, organs which, when asked the work’s eponymous question, “Does this soup taste ambivalent?” may only be able to utter that most paltry answer: “I don’t know.” TheCUBE

The marine borders used in this map are based on a geometric projection of the maritime boundaries depicted by the Flanders Marine Institute. This map is not to be taken as the endorsement of one claim over another. Coastlines—linear entities dividing land from water—were historically one of the f irst geographical features to be represented accurately in maps, thus becoming a common datum for the development of seafaring, charting technology, and the history of exploration more generally. The 20th century brought about profound changes in the organization and measurement of the world. The rudimentary divide of water and land became an obsolete artifact of mapping, both irrelevant to evolving political and economic concepts of space and useless in settling claims of national sovereignty over sea zones. The world as it is envisioned today—and depicted in this map—is a continuous space where the movement of people and information overrides the onceconstitutive barrier between land and sea, and is regulated instead by hybrid politico-legal constructs. Augmenting the familiar shapes of nation-states, the map evokes a world that has evolved beyond the land-sea divide. The seas today are a territory of potentialities: for the production of wild and cultivated food; for the extraction of minerals and fossil fuels; and for the future harvesting of energy. By rendering the areas of control and supervision over the use of sea zones, this map reveals the new reality of the world’s division of resources and outlines the present areas of environmental responsibility and the possible future places of territorial conflict. As such, the map expands our perception and comprehension of political space and offers a tool for negotiation in advance of confrontations yet to surface. TheCUBE
