《＃籠罩下的巨大哀愁 》A Dark Cloud of Sorrow Looms Over
A place where millions of people live alone together— the city.
During the busy and constant labor all day and night, we have fewer opportunities to talk to ourselves. The sudden epidemic has opened a door to calm our hearts and let us rethink our relationship with the world.
In the 1970s, urbanism rises in Taiwan, bidding farewell to the landscape of an agricultural society. In addition to skyscrapers, the meaning of the city also produces a certain kind of violent acceleration on our bodies. Before we could face all kinds of unpleasant questions, we quickly escape with the acceleration.
The city seems to be bustling and lively, but in fact it’s a series of stranger encounters unexpectedly. Trying to accompany each other is reduced to their
own mumbling with obscure social distance. They trying to escape from restlessness and distress for a short time; rising the conflict between governance practice and the sense of freedom. The closed, lonely cycle of labor faintly affects the changes of modern cities, and so on.
The people who live here are trying to learn how to coexist with it.
In A Dark Cloud of Sorrow Looms Over, we invite eight artists. The age difference between them is about 20 years old. We are trying to figure out in this big era,how people among different age groups to re-understand and break through the urban conditions of survival and change.
幾百萬人一起孤獨生活的地方-------都市。
沒日沒夜的繁忙，不斷勞動的過程中我們少了與自己對話的機會，突如其來的疫情，像開啟了一扇靜心的大門，反思我們與世界之間的關係。
1970年代台灣興起都市主義，揮別過往的農業景觀，其意義除了建築摩天高樓外，不外乎產生某種劇烈加速度於我們的身體，各種不適的提問還未面對，就隨著加速度快步的逃逸。
城市貌似繁華熱鬧卻只是意外地與一切陌異、他者的肉身遭逢；試圖相伴卻淪為各自的喃喃自語、不成文的特殊社交距離；嘗試短暫逃離不安及困頓的慾望；興起的治理實踐與自由意識的衝突；在封閉與寂寥的循環勞動，隱隱牽動著現代化城市的變遷等......
生存於此的人們，正試圖學習如何與它共存。
「籠罩下的巨大哀愁」一展邀請八位藝術家，之間年紀落差20來歲，我們試圖整出一個大時代下不同年齡層中，面對生存與變動的都市景況是如何重新理解及突破。
