Beyond real artificial landscape-Travelers Among Mountains and Streams Sculpture

傳統中國庭園以自然為參照，模擬山水的樣態，經由古典哲學思想的折射，形塑為「法自然、合格局」的「假山水」，從中可看到道家的「虛實相生」、儒家的「天人合一」、佛家的「意境」等觀念所建構的「文人化」景致，一木一石皆成為象徵「風雅」的符碼，可說為中國傳統文化理型的表徵。 「假山水」系列創作所仿照的對象，即是這個文化理型，藉由諧仿「假山水」的擬像，以當代文化工業的生產邏輯，進行符號的「再編碼」，從中可看到的是真實自然已失去脈絡的連繫，取而代之的是「鋼彈」流行文化以量產化、規格化、模組化等觀念所建構的「假山水」，我們對它的認知更為強烈、感受更為真實，因為擬像即為真實存有，只是以機械複製年代的靈光，映射中國傳統文化的理型，召喚文人的鬼魅，化作當代風雅的擬仿物了。 The traditional Chinese garden refers to the nature to imitate the landscape. After the reflection of classical philosophy thoughts, it was then shaped into the “Imitating Landscape” which “learns from the nature and matches with the Geomantic Omen”. In addition, it contains the “mutual engendering of virtual and real” of Taoist, the “harmony of nature and human” of Confucianism, the “visionary world” of Buddhism etc., all of these concepts constitute the “literati-like” landscape in which each piece of wood or stone symbols “ literary pursuit” that can be the typical symbol of traditional Chinese culture form. The “Imitating Landscape” series that is mimicking from this culture form “re-code” the symbols by imitating the virtual image of “imitating landscape” and by the logics driven by the contemporary industry of culture. It can be seen that the losing connection of natural context has been replaced by the “imitating landscape” constructed with the mass-production, standardization, modularization of the popular culture of “Gundam”. The stronger perception and more real feeling have been revoked since the virtual image is actually the real existence, replaced by the aura of the mechanical reproduced year though, that reflects the form of traditional Chinese culture, calls the phantom of literati transforming to the imitation of contemporary literary pursuit.
