There are three capsules I refer to, they are: space capsules, capsule hotels and medicinal capsules, each representing the future, the reality and the space in mind respectively. Where we have experienced the limitations of space to accommodate physically, the space capsule has been filled by mankind’s desire towards the Universe. However, can there be a medicinalcapsule that fills emptiness?
“Capsule” is an installation made according to the standard size of a capsule hotel, combining the motif of the gallery’s wooding flooring and clouds on copper sheets, mimicking a wilderness sanctuary that blends into the environment, in this case, the gallery space.
Through this spiritual capsule created in the name of art, I hope to bring the viewer back to the physical art space. This is a work that requires one to be present and experienced by one’s full senses. I believe in an excursion that is not limited by the screen of an electronic device, where imagination may be the redemption.
胶囊所指有叁: 太空胶囊,胶囊旅馆及药用胶囊。分别代表未来,现实以及心灵。人倾向借科学解决空间资源分配不均,正透过太空胶囊将占有欲投向宇宙。在这种种开发填满同时可会有治疗空虚的胶囊灵药? 何以越来越多的人趋向与世隔绝?
根据胶囊旅馆的标準尺寸而作,“胶囊”是供一人容身的最小空间。它从画廊地板延伸,有着与地板相同的木质图案,内侧覆盖了具仪式感的蚀刻铜皮云雾图腾,模拟出与画廊环境融为一体的类荒野避难所。
这是个以艺术之名打造的精神胶囊,一个需要置身其中并充分感受的作品。我希望藉此将观者带回艺术的物理空间。我相信想象力是可能的救赎,而只有参与现实并越过那细小屏幕,才能激发想像,圆满空虚。
