《沿線定位》
Mapping along the line
藝術家:葉馨文Yashin
沿著一條沒有火車的鐵路線,我描繪線兩側的地景。火車離開後,鐵軌仍留在原地,持續指向某處的記憶。
駐村期間,我沿線騎著腳踏車,移動時不斷重新定位自己所處的空間與時間。我將腳下的鐵路線拉直,固定橫放於畫面中央,依此安排周邊景物與時間的相對位置,並延伸為展覽空間的視覺焦點。鐵路不再只是被描繪的對象,而是成為組織圖像與觀看的基準。
我以筆直橫切的鐵路線作為基準,實驗這套閱讀結構如何在畫作、書本與展覽空間之間轉化,形成不同尺度的觀看經驗。
作品結合地方的鐵路線與書本的敘事線,將翻頁時切換空間與時間的閱讀方式,轉化為展覽中的觀看結構,使觀者的視線如同沿著鐵路行進,在移動與閱讀之間重新建立地方、空間與時間的關係。
Along a railway line where trains no longer run, I depict the landscapes alongside the tracks. Long after the trains have departed, the tracks remain, continuing to point toward memories of somewhere else.
During my residency, I cycled along the tracks, constantly reorienting myself within both space and time. In my compositions, I straighten the railway beneath my feet into a horizontal line running across the center of the canvas. Using this line as a point of reference, I position the surrounding landscape and different moments in time in relation to it, extending it into the exhibition space as a visual axis. The railway no longer serves merely as a depicted subject; it becomes a framework for organizing the image and orienting the viewer's gaze.
Using a straight railway line running horizontally across the composition as a point of reference, I experiment with how this reading structure translates across paintings, books, and the exhibition space, creating viewing experiences at different scales.
The work weaves together the local railway line and the narrative thread of a book. It translates the spatial and temporal shifts of page-turning into a viewing structure within the exhibition. The viewer's gaze follows the railway as though traveling along its course, reorienting the relationship between locality, space, and time through the interplay of movement and reading.
