P015 → Another Market
This project was commissioned by Hong-gah Museum as part of their array of research projects local to Beitou and was exhibited in " Beitou Local Flavors Collecting Project" held in 2019. This piece focuses on Beitou Market, engaging in a series of symbol collection and transformation, ultimately morphing into various objects within the exhibition space. Beitou Market is one of Taipei's oldest public traditional markets. The market's two-story building and the vendors in the surrounding alleys cater to the diverse needs of local residents, reflecting the rhythms and textures of their daily lives.
A visit to Beitou Market reveals the most authentic depiction of life, shaped by the passage of time—a mix of old and new: vibrant plastic baskets stacked on green-tiled stands, food stalls using a mix of ceramic bowls and melamine tableware, and hand-painted signs altered with modern fonts. The materials gathered during the market exploration were deconstructed, transformed, and reassembled to create a new market. Ready-made objects serve as visual cues, offering viewers a different perspective on contemporary human life. The familiar yet unfamiliar forms, colors, and lines invite viewers to interpret the work through their own experiences, recalling past memories that overlap and merge with the present, piecing together a personal market experience within their own life memories.
此作品受鳳甲美術館之北投在地研究計畫委託製作，於 2019 年 「藝遊味境－北投在地風味採集計畫」 展出。以北投市場為對象，進行一連串符碼的採集與轉化，變身為展場中的各種物件。北投市場為台北市歷史最悠久的公有傳統市場之一。 市場本身的兩層樓建築和市場外巷弄裡的攤商，應有盡有的攤商滿足居民的各種生活所需，市場裡的景象也反映出在地居民的生活軌跡與紋理。走訪北投市場，可以感受到在時間推移之下，新與舊所拼湊出來最真實的生活樣貌：綠色老磁磚展台上疊放著鮮豔的塑膠網籃、小吃攤混搭著使用陶瓷湯碗與美耐皿餐具、手畫老招牌上貼著現代字體輸出。將逛市場過程中採集到的多種素材予以解構、轉化，再重組成另一個市場。現成物件作為觀看的線索，同時也提供觀者對於現代人類生活不同角度的檢視。對於眼前熟悉與陌生的造型、色彩、線條，觀者能投以自身經驗解讀，在腦海裡重新招喚過往的生活經驗、與現下的作品重疊、融合，拼湊出屬於自己生活記憶中的市場體驗。
