隨光呼吸 - 月津港燈節 2019
Yuejin Lantern Festival 2019
[Group Exhibition]2020.02.02 – 03.03
臺南市鹽水區月津港
Yuejin Yanshui Tainan
鹽水,歷史文化源遠流長的古鎮,得天獨厚擁有一道與在地生活息息相關的「母親之河」――月津港,因此帶來最特別、具水域的燈節場所。臺南市政府年年於此舉辦「月津港燈節」,主要特色即是讓光之美與鹽水原貌風情互襯,營造與地景深深結合的藝術氣氛。每一屆燈節,並各有與時令、人文、自然脈絡相連的策展核心。2019年的主題則為「隨光呼吸」,繼續邀請了國、內外擅長新媒體與科技藝術的當代藝術家參展,在鹽水現場打造燈光裝置。這兒聞名國際的「鹽水蜂炮」,也正是在此佳節期間以震撼的火花電光開啟新春氣象。表達虔誠信仰的「鹽水蜂炮」、浪漫呈現藝術的「月津港燈節」,總是攜手在一年之初於鹽水小鎮隨光呼吸、動身,這是與居民、訪客浪漫、不變的美麗約定。
Our journey begins at the point where the river and sea embrace, old Yuejin Port. As we start the adventure together, we follow the river, down meandering pathways, as distant lights guide us to an artistic field. Three “timelines” divide the location into three distinct areas. The timelines are called "Travel of Time", "Call of the Environment" and "My Scenery with You". Within each timeline is a different representation of the moon. The timelines each encapsulate a different feeling, and a different sensory experience for the visitor. Thus, three moons, three scenes, three moods. The festival location reflects the idea of cyclical movement. No matter where we begin on our journey, entering into one of the three timelines, as we walk together into scenery that is a blend of art, local customs and natural splendor, we finally return to our point of ingress. Thus, we return to the place our journey began.
