PANORAMA / 全景 (2021) (public sculpture, iron (Rebar), 5 x 5 x 3 m / 公共雕塑，鐵（鋼筋）， 5 x 5 x 3 公尺) Date / 時間 : 2021-07-28 ~ 2021-12-31 地點Venue 蕭壠文化園區，鐵道區 Siao-Long Cultural Park, Railway Area, Created in the Siao-Long Cultural Park 蕭壠文化園區 during the ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE program in 2021 in Jiali District, Tainan City, TAIWAN http://soulangh.tnc.gov.tw/
On historical sites, one can
always feel both the presence and the absence of importance. These intangible
qualities tend to be invisible. Persistence work, for example, can only be
imagined through stories and artifacts behind the Siao-Long Sugar Manufacturing
Company. A Panoramic artwork is created, to bring the liveliness of the
scenery by depicting the hard work, and visualizing the demolished
surroundings. Stepping into the drawing-like structure, it surrounds the
observer, while the 360° view aims to reconstruct what has long disappeared.
The sculpture applies industrial metal, used for reinforcing man-made
environments. This material is all around us, acting as invisible protection.
It reveals itself only if coming out of the ruins, offering a track to follow,
and calling the imagination to build upon. The installation is constructed on
such hundred years old remains.

我們在歷史遺跡都可以感覺到，無論是可見或不可見的存在，皆有其重要性，這些無形的特質往往是看不見的，像是過去那些支持蕭壠糖廠運作的工作，我們現在只能透過故事或文物來模擬想像。因此我創作了這件全景作品，賦予現地場景原有的生命力，描繪當時幕後的辛勞、重現消失的景色。當你踏入這件作品中，繪圖般的結構將觀者完全包圍，360度的全景視角企圖在你眼前重現那些消失已久的事物。這件雕塑以工業金屬為材料，這種材料主要用來強化人造的建築結構，於生活中四處可見，提供肉眼看不見的強化保護功能，只有當建築外觀被破壞時，它才會現身，提供一個線索讓我們有跡可循，接著得以透過想像重建它原始的面貌。這件裝置作品便是這樣建構於百年的歷史遺跡之上。
