歸屬之地－黃品潔創作論述

Abstract

現代社會的繁榮與易達性訴諸了異鄉人此一身份已然成為當今世代普遍擁有的共同身份。來回家鄉與異鄉，筆者對於自己的歸屬定位逐漸模糊、焦慮，在端與端位移之間的情緒轉折與鄉野無人的鄉痛覺察引發了筆者對居住地景的觀察。地景由人構築，人因景象產生情感波動，風土地景與心理潛在的互文關係成為筆者創作的重要一環。不同層面的著眼點觀看環境中的植、物，影響我們對一個地方的印象。將構築地景的物質對心理的影響作為立意基礎，創作實踐中，透過圖像與影格，再現、轉譯心中的地景型態，並以象徵手法將自我投射於破敗、萎靡的植栽以及人為景物，與內在之歸屬焦慮達成平衡。經由數位變造後，繪畫、錄像裝置等不同媒介的呈現使得場域中的衰頹歷程的時間性上有了多元的表達可能，藉由視覺符號的借用、畫面色調與影格的安排，喚起地方意象。人與環境的相互依附性，既抽象且難以量化，但身體感知、視覺體驗又能使我們在發覺到身邊習慣的某些物質默默消失時，湧現出深刻的剝奪感，矛盾的是身為形塑地景的一部分，離鄉背井的自己似乎也催化著它的質變。藉由對地方物象的探索，深入了解這種矛盾現象的成因，在再現遺失景象的過程中反思奠基自我文化身分的事物究竟為何。

The prosperity and accessibility of contemporary society have rendered the identity of the"outsider" a common condition shared across this generation. As I move back and forth between my hometown and unfamiliar places, my sense of belonging becomes increasingly blurred and accompanied by anxiety. The emotional shifts caused by this continuous displacement—alongside the solastalgia evoked by depopulated rural landscapes—have prompted a deeper observation of inhabited space.Landscapes are constructed by people and, in turn, elicit emotional responses. The intertextual relationship between vernacular landscape and psychological undercurrents forms a central axis of my creative process. How we perceive plants and objects in our environment from varying perspectives influences our impression of place. Grounded in the exploration of how the material components that form a landscape impact emotional experience, my practice reimagines and translates internal landscapes through imagery and framing. Through symbolic projection of the self onto withering plants and decaying, human-made environments, I seek to balance and confront my own anxieties surrounding displacement and belonging.By means of digital manipulation, painting, and video installation, my work explores the temporality of spatial decline and deterioration. The borrowed visual symbols, nuanced color palettes, and careful arrangement of frames all contribute to evoking the image of place and reconstructing lost scenes rooted in memory and absence.The interdependence between people and their environment is abstract and difficult to quantify. Yet sensory perception and visual experience sharpen our sense of loss when familiar elements quietly disappear. Paradoxically, as one who contributes to the shaping of the landscape, my own act of leaving may accelerate its transformation. Through the exploration of local material imagery, this research probes the causes of this contradiction and, in re-presenting lost scenes, reflects upon the cultural anchors that define my personal identity.
