Practice in Process (3 experiments)
練習中 (三次實驗)
3. RUMINATION 芻思
In Aile’s words...
陳泳遙自白
Using projection devices, the chaotic thoughts are materialized and imprinted on the body, symbolizing the individual's struggles and releases in the present moment.
It explores the process of facing one's emotions, contemplating on how to confront and organize inner thoughts in life, ultimately learning to accept and let go.
It reminds people to bravely face their inner world in life and seek peace of mind.
透過一系列的文字與影像，揭示了內心深處的過分思考。腦中盤旋著某些念頭或一連串的想法，如同回音，反覆在腦海中迴盪。
運用投影裝置，將凌亂的思緒具象化，烙印在身體上，象徵著個體對於當下的內心的掙扎與釋放。
探討面對自身情感的過程，思考自己在生活中如何面對與整理內心的想法，從而學習接受到最終的放下。
提醒人們在生活中勇於面對自己的內心世界，並尋找心靈的平靜。
The observer’s reflection...
旁觀者的反思
At the 1a welcome party, when I mentioned my work-relation with Aile and Felix, one of the artists present immediately asked me, "Do you pay them?" At that moment, I was a bit surprised because I had never thought that work could be unpaid. After all, they are professionals in the field of filming. However, I also understand that many collaborations arising from teacher-student relationships are often "unpaid" or "underpaid."
For Aile, I personally hope she can engage in more creative projects. Artistic practice is fundamentally different from filmmaking and video production. Although both involve filming, editing, and showing the work, video production emphasizes teamwork, there is often distinguishing roles between leaders and supporters. In this field, women often land on supporter roles, taking on tasks like preparation or assistant; while art practice is personal, with all decisions made by the creator, there is no supporting roles. Coincidentally, Aile's project is about self-discovery, with the images of illuminated words on her face, rdo we see ‘affirmation’ or ‘doubt’? Can the audience carefully observe and read the creator's thoughts? Is it important to ‘understand’? This creative process revealed another side of Aile to me, and I hope this experiment provides her with a valuable exploration experience.
跟Aile和Felix的關係其實頗特別。幾年前他們是我的學生，而現在他們是我的工作夥伴。我經常處理影片製作的工作，並且經常邀請他們一起參與。
在1a的歡迎派對上，我提及與Aile和Felix的工作時，在場的一位藝術家立刻問我：「你有給他們工資嗎？」 那一刻我有些驚訝，因為我從來沒有想過工作可以不發工資？加上畢竟在拍攝領域上，他們是專業的。然而，我也理解，很多由師生合作的工作，經常是 「無償」 或 「微償」 的。
對於Aile，我個人特別希望她能多接觸創作。藝術創作與電影和影片製作截然不同。儘管它們都涉及使用相機拍攝、剪接和播放，影片製作講求團隊合作，過程中往往存在領導者和支援者的區分。在這個領域，女性經常被「跌落」到支援者的角色，擔任籌備、助理等職位；而創作則是個人的，所有的決策都由創作者自己做，並沒有後援的角色。恰巧Aile這次的創作主題是尋找自我，影像呈現以強光打在自己面上的文字，究竟是「肯定」還是「疑惑」？觀眾能否細心觀察並閱讀到創作者的思想？「理解」的重要性何在？這次的創作過程讓我看到了Aile的另一面，我也希望這次的實驗能為她帶來一次良好的探索經驗。
