山鬼日傘,影像,15分00秒,2022
作品《山鬼日傘》以四個名詞山、鬼、日、傘,去串接成一個動詞所彰顯的一連串敘事,敘事改編自一段真實故事:關於一位小女孩罹患血癌去世,所衍生的種種事跡;其中「山中的迷霧裡」、「遇鬼」、「日光下將鬼請下山」和「在傘裡的鬼」四個階段,以抽象敘事的方式做為影像引動出竅靈魂的概念。
本次作品談論動畫技術與鬼影、幻影間的關係,而那個「鬼」,指的是動畫中視覺殘像的錯覺,鬼穿梭在每個時間與空間的「結點」中,它藉由「肉眼」跟不上「機器之眼」而產生幻象及靈魂騷動,早在1896年喬治.梅里愛(Georges Méliès)停抽格技術的世界觀中,就以此產生了許多鬼魅的奇觀幻影;到如今,藝術家以動畫替身、演算法和換臉等技術,將現代人的身體,置換在一個幻影時空的百年流轉-回到梅里愛的影像過去。
Mountain, Ghost, Sunlight, Umbrella, film,15min00sec, 2022
Mountain Ghost Sunshade constructs a temporal palimpsest through a synthesis of four conceptual signifiers—mountain, ghost, sun, and umbrella—articulated as a performative sequence of cinematic gestures. Rooted in an actual event—the untimely death of a young girl from leukemia and the spectral narratives that emerged in its wake—the work unfolds across four abstracted phases: Mist in the Mountain, Encountering the Ghost, Calling the Ghost Down from the Sunlight, and The Ghost Within the Umbrella. These episodes function as interstitial thresholds through which the spectral is not merely represented but invoked as a generative force of the moving image.
At the core of this work lies an inquiry into the ontology of the animated image, where the notion of the "ghost" is reframed as a perceptual disjunction intrinsic to the moving image’s residual temporality. The ghost’s traversal of spatial-temporal junctures is an echo of the paradoxical gap between human vision and the machinic eye, a phenomenon first interrogated in Georges Méliès’ cinematic experiments with stop-motion in 1896. By foregrounding the ruptures between embodied perception and the digital apparatus, Mountain Ghost Sunshade mobilizes contemporary animation techniques—algorithmic substitution, synthetic doubles, and deepfake interventions—to reconstitute the body as an unstable, transient entity suspended within a spectral temporality. This spectral framework collapses historical cinema’s illusory constructs into the generative matrix of contemporary digital aesthetics, forging a recursive loop where the cinematic past and digital futures coalesce into a phantomic continuum.
