Tamás Szvet: UNION (2018)
Mosso bamboo, 300x200x20cm
Zhúzihú Yangmingshan; TAIWAN
The
project created during the Bamboo Lake Environmental Art Project artist-in-residency
program in the Yangmingshan National Park has focused on the view of nature.
According to the Gaia hypothesis [1] in microbiology, all living organisms
interact with each other on Earth, to form a complex system that helps to
maintain the conditions for life on the planet. From this point of view, we
have a strong union with nature; therefore we must protect our environment as
it is like our own body. In the work a human shape opens, and we can see the
mountains of Zhuzihu behind, or rather inside the figure.
[1] formulated by the chemist James Lovelock
and co-developed by the microbiologist Lynn Margulis in the 1970s.
《天人合一》
在陽明山國家公園竹子湖藝術家駐村時，我特別關注看大自然的角度，並表現在我的竹子創作。根據微生物學中「蓋亞假說（註1）」，意旨在地球的所有生物都會互相影響，在地球上形成一個生態循環。從這個觀點來看，我們與自然有很強的連結，因此必須保護環境，像愛護身體一般。我的作品裡，不僅可以透過人的輪廓，見到後方竹子湖的山群，且存在於由竹子構成的空間當中。
（註１：1970年代由化學家詹姆斯‧洛夫洛克及微生物學家琳·馬古利斯共同提出）
