策展論述 文│王柏偉
事件拓樸 一個名字、兩種世界、多起事件，這是我們這檔展覽的數量運算。
名字是一種符號。我們通常將名字歸給某個個體，並宣稱這個個體的獨特性，就藝術而言，這種獨特性我們稱為「作者」，擁有某個名字的 作者為藝術創造了某個特殊的形式或風格，擴大了藝術的可能性空間。 如果恰巧地我們在同一個名字下發現了兩種全然不同的形式或風格，那我們必然會感到訝異，猜測這個名字的藝術家有著精神分裂式的人 格，但這兩個人格卻都有著極為卓越的藝術靈魂。雖然實情並非精神分裂式的人格展現，但是我們利用這種名字上的鄰近性，將兩個全然不 同的影像世界構築方式拉近。以攝影方式來向世界提問的許哲瑜探問的是整體性問題：螢幕與世界的關係是什麼？概念式思考又是如何為世 界命名的？相對於這種總體層面上的提問，關注新聞事件的許哲瑜反向地從元素層面探詢事件的鋪陳如何成就世界整體的景觀：到底是哪些

基本動作限制了我們的想像空間？視覺敘事又是如何安排它的時間序列以完成新聞現象整體的建構？ 正是由於這兩個許哲瑜分別以攝影與動畫兩種不同的方式來趨近世界，我們將他們鄰近並置的做法就有了一種彼此對話的效果，世界中的螢

幕與螢幕中的世界到底哪一個才是被建構出來的呢？到底外在的世界是個人為的美學事件還是人為美學的事件根本也就是外在的世界的真實 環節呢？ Event Topology 兩個許哲瑜作品的對望形成了一個封閉的迴圈，在其中我們再也分不清事件的大小範圍與景觀的界線何在，所有在其中發生的事件都有著拓 樸學式的身形，不再以我們日常生活當中習以為常的方式來到我們的面前：它們放大、縮小、拉長、壓縮、扭曲、變形。

One name, two worlds, multiple events, this is our calculation for this exhibition A name is a type of symbol. We often assign a name to a particular object or individual, and declare their uniqueness; in terms of art we call them artists. An artist with a particular name, provided the world with a particular method of expression or style, thus expanding the possibility of art.

If by coincidence we found two completely different form and style under the same name, then of course we will be surprised, probably guessing the artist with that name might have a schizophrenic condition. However both personalities reveal outstanding artistic soul. In actual fact it is not schizophrenia, we use this similarity in their names to connect the two entirely different ways of constructing a visual world. Sheu Jer-Yu looks at the world through his photography and questions the world as a whole: what is the relationship between the screen and the world? How does conceptual thinking help name the world? Opposite to this kind of generalizing questions, Hsu Che-Yu concentrates on the news incidents and studies the elements that make up the events, and how those elements create our world: Just what sort of basic actions became the limit to our imagination? How does the arrangement of visual description in chronological order create a complete news event? The two artists, Sheu Jer-Yu and Hsu Che-Yu use photography and animation respectively to describe the world. Juxtaposing their works create a dialogue, the world within the screen and the screen within the world, which is the one that was created? Is the outside world a creation from an individual s aesthetic event, or the creation of an individual s aesthetic event is actually part of the outside world? Juxtaposing the two artists works together creates a closed loop; inside this loop we can no longer distinguish the size nor boundaries of the events. Every event undergoes a topological transformation, and they no longer arrive before our eyes in the way we are used to: they expand, contract, stretch, compress, skew and rotate. Maybe the real form of this type of event is actually events that exist only inside the screen and the reason why news events can be unlimited transformed and skewed.
