2019 月津港燈節|隨光。呼吸

Yuejin Lantern Festival 2019

 

月津港燈節

鹽水,歷史文化源遠流長的古鎮,得天獨厚擁有一道與在地生活息息相關的「母親之河」――月津港,因此帶來最特別、具水域的燈節場所。臺南市政府年年於此舉辦「月津港燈節」,主要特色即是讓光之美與鹽水原貌風情互襯,營造與地景深深結合的藝術氣氛。每一屆燈節,並各有與時令、人文、自然脈絡相連的策展核心。2019年的主題則為「隨光呼吸」,繼續邀請了國、內外擅長新媒體與科技藝術的當代藝術家參展,在鹽水現場打造燈光裝置。這兒聞名國際的「鹽水蜂炮」,也正是在此佳節期間以震撼的火花電光開啟新春氣象。表達虔誠信仰的「鹽水蜂炮」、浪漫呈現藝術的「月津港燈節」,總是攜手在一年之初於鹽水小鎮隨光呼吸、動身,這是與居民、訪客浪漫、不變的美麗約定。

 

Yuejin Lantern Festival

Creating a unique artistic atmosphere has always been the main feature of the Yuejin Lantern Festival. The "2018 Yuejin Lantern Festival” was hosted by the Tainan Municipal Government's Cultural Bureau and incorporated unique artistic creations that permeated the natural landscape with artistic reverie and beautiful ambient light. This year's Lantern Festival takes the theme of "breathing with light", as once again we invite artists from home and abroad to bring their vision and inspiration to Yanshui's Festival of Light. Artists exhibiting in the modern form of lighting installations combine with the traditional culture and scenery of Yanshui, engendering in the audience, feelings of romantic nostalgia, as the living color of lighting installations dances off waterways and green fields. Yanshui is one of the most venerable places in Tainan. The first thing people often think of when we speak about Yanshui is the annual Beehive Firecracker Festival, where people don motorcycle helmets and raincoats, and dance and play amidst the burning light of exploding firecrackers. Yanshui also hosts the Lantern Festival on an annual basis, another celebration focused on bringing life to the local area using the medium of light. In this way we can say Yanshui comes alive every year, breathing with the light.

 

隨光。呼吸

「隨光呼吸」,是一場人與光與河流交錯、互擁的旅程,從河海環抱、白日與夜晚臨界的場域開始。所有的燈光裝置藝術作品,共同詮釋了三種月亮、三種場景、三種意境。這場光影藝術之旅,無論訪客由何處起步,皆能追隨著那道光,開始這場冒險。裝置之點運用循環的動線布局於蜿蜒的河域之中,分別以「環境的呼喚」、「時間的旅行」、「我與你的風景」,將展場略分為三大畫面。在這些畫面中,訪客能欣賞到以三種不同手法創作的「月亮」,感受三種不同的氛圍。更能依自己的頻率與方向任意走入其中、成為風景的主角之一,與藝術品一塊兒隨光呼吸。這些大畫面中之月,交融著鹽水的風土民情與自然環境,天上的月亮也將不時探出頭來與人們打招呼……。

Breathing with Light

Our journey begins at the point where the river and sea embrace, old Yuejin Port. As we start the adventure together, we follow the river, down meandering pathways, as distant lights guide us to an artistic field. Three “timelines” divide the location into three distinct areas. The timelines are called "Travel of Time", "Call of the Environment" and "My Scenery with You". Within each timeline is a different representation of the moon. The timelines each encapsulate a different feeling, and a different sensory experience for the visitor. Thus, three moons, three scenes, three moods. The festival location reflects the idea of cyclical movement. No matter where we begin on our journey, entering into one of the three timelines, as we walk together into scenery that is a blend of art, local customs and natural splendor, we finally return to our point of ingress. Thus, we return to the place our journey began.

01_築夢_許佑全、李玉芳.jpg

築夢 | 許佑全、李 芳

在藝術家眼中,夢,是現在進行式而非未來式。夢想的內容常與現實交錯,人們可以在夢想中改變現實,也可以在現實中成就夢想。搭配今年的生肖,他在鹽水老街的主要入口處,將夢想像成一隻隻認真又不失可愛的 豬,正努力的堆羅漢,正如夢想需要層層的努力建築。

This dream resides in the present, not in a future paradigm. The dream pigs are stacked on top of one another, like dreams within dreams. Life itself can often feel like a dream, when the content of the dreamscape intermingles with waking reality. Sometimes our reality evolves due of the content of our dreams. Can we dream together? As our imaginations entwine, perhaps we can co-create our reality like a dream.

02_Mix Hippo_陳奕彰.jpg

Mix Hippo | 陳奕彰

The rivers of Yuejin Port continuously flow inland from the sea, like a constant rhythm breathing life into the salt water town of Yanshui. The artist took the above two elements as inspiration in the creation of this artwork. Cute and endearing, the Mix Hippo, floating on the water with it's balloons and colorful inner tube, brings a joyful atmosphere to the art space. The artist uses the common mouthpiece found on an inner tube, making the hippo's nose into a kind of mouthpiece, emphasizing that breathing fills the Mix Hippo full of energy. As he drifts on the surface of the water, he brings good fortune and New Year's blessings to all who cross his path.

月津港川流不息的河水,猶如鹽水鎮生生不斷的呼吸節奏。藝術家創作出帶著游泳圈的可愛 Mix Hippo,讓民眾能一眼明瞭藝術作品給與的歡喜氣氛,也讓訪客感染鹽水不停歇的川流與呼吸節奏。有趣的是藝術家運用氣球常見的吹嘴符號,特意把 MixHippo 鼻子做成吹嘴狀,強調呼吸使 Mix Hippo充滿元氣。身上的空飄氣球,則象徵將新春的祈福傳至天際。

看見自然的呼吸 | 曾瑋

A team with an architectural background brings a concept full of fantasy. This piece reflects concepts of light and time. Time is like a river, an inevitable and unstoppable movement, always flowing onward. Light and shadow move together, playfully interlaced in a constant dance. The body of the artwork, constructed of steel bars, is erected above the audience. As lights embedded in the structure illuminate the bridge, cotton materials move in the wind, creating living shadows that dance and intermingle.

擁有建築背景的創作團隊,以充滿幻想的視野,讓光以時間的概念呈現。時間像道河,不斷的流轉 ,順流、逆流......。這件作品位於興隆橋上的作品,即是在河畔籍由光影交錯產生的元素,激發視覺與影像的互動,拉近觀眾與作品之間的距離。

波光粼粼 | 仲聲造所工作室

Flowers are composed in different stages of the life cycle and scattered on the water. Some protrude from the surface of the water, appearing to be in bloom, whilst others remain budding and mostly submerged. Through the use of static cool blue light and rich colors, a geometric flower of light and shadow is formed on the water's surface. During the day, different colors are produced through the refraction and reflection of different angles of sunlight. At night, through the use of changing LED lights, the artwork exhibits a dynamic visual effect.

色彩流轉如同⽣命的反覆循環,透過光線的折射、反射,映照出最真實的⾃我,閃耀浮動在⽉津港的水岸河道。作品呈現一種共生關係,追求一種平衡的關係,彼此流動、卻⼜相互依賴,在⽔面上倒映著波光斑斕的結晶,隨著光影的變化感知⽔域與空間的呼吸。

植光計畫-莫比烏斯帶 | 沃手工作

A Mobius ring symbolizing an infinite loop is placed on a large tree, connecting the two-dimensional curvature of the front and back. Under the harmonious aura of gradual change, the technology and the natural environment are reconciled and dependent on the symbiotic link.

在一棵大樹上架起象徵無限循環的莫比烏斯圓環,串接正反面的二維曲度。在衍序漸變的和諧光環下,開啟科技與自然環境相斥相依、依附共生的連結。這件在曲橋旁的燈光裝置,經由數位化手法,呈現出繽紛的色彩與圖像。另一方面,創作者並以錯誤、故障、雜訊等數位障礙,隱喻著真實世界。

隨呱呼吸 | 辛綺

This interactive art project involves participation from the public. Inspiration is drawn from the poem “Frog Croaking Upon Moon Pool”, and reflects three time periods, ancient, modern and future. Construction of the work contains three manifestations of shape, sound and color. The artist worked with the public to produce paper mache frogs that are scattered along a riverside. As lights illuminate the reptilian troupe, we hear a chorus of voices, the harmonious chanting of the colourful frogs, as voiced by local people.

這是一件由民眾與藝術家真正互動而成的作品。首先,由藝術家在當地開設社區教室,邀請當地民眾或訪客共同製作青蛙,初成品則交由藝術團隊進行構圖、再創作。整組作品以正中央的平台為軸心,民眾與藝術家攜 打造、充滿生命力的各類紙蛙,五彩繽紛散布彎月之中,其間點綴燈光,相互輝映成趣。「隨呱呼吸」本身蘊含古、今、未來三意涵:「月池蛙鼓」是古「月津八景」之一 ,作品建構則包含形、聲、光三種充滿未來感的表現。

華 | 蔡筱淇 &吉川公野

"Hua" is inspired by the glorious Yanshui Beehive Firework Festival. This artwork uses organic floral patterns and shapes, exploding outwards in vibrant colors, reflecting the cheerful atmosphere of the spring blossom and symbolizing the historical background of old Yuejin and its prosperous life. "Hua" uses 3D carvings, interwoven into an abstract botanical cloud. In the daytime the colors are bright and vivid; as night falls, the work takes on a different appearance as its fluorescent colors glow and shimmer in the dark, like a huge, surreal and mysterious object that landed from outer space.

這件作品以絢爛的鹽水蜂炮為發想,演繹出抽象的植物意境,展現繁花綻放時活躍的新氣象,象徵著月津自古以來生生不息的歷史背景。「華」以抽象的 3D雕花搭配鮮豔奪目的螢光色系,白天色彩強烈鮮明,交織成漂浮半空中的雲彩。夜晚則是截然不同的樣貌,作品在夜中發光,宛如從外太空降落的不明巨型物體,呈現超現實的華麗神秘感。「 華 」展現了張力十足的生命力,並可以依訪客觀看角度、時間的不同,有變化萬千的趣味體驗。

光流・月蝕・無限之循 | 有用主張

This artwork is a 12-meter-diameter ring body. The outer part of the ring is constructed from mirror-material which reflects it's surroundings, integrating the artwork into the environment. Inside the ring, fitted lights run in the same direction, creating a dynamic movement. The work is placed at an oblique angle, allowing the viewer to enter the interior of the ring to experience the magical luminescent atmosphere inside. Seen from different distances and angles, the artwork appears to form different shapes, like the edge of an evolving crescent moon.

自然或社會中的許多現象常是周而復始,萬物自有其平衡的規律 ,作品試圖藉由光創造出循環不息的象徵。作品由直徑 12米的環狀體構成,以傾斜的動態漂浮在半空中。外觀似一只鏡環,消失與融合在環境中;內部則是一圈光環,流星光順著圓朝同一方向流動,此起彼落地追逐前方彷彿永無終點,形成循環不止的燈光動態。作品希冀以最簡潔有力的形式結合光,創造出境域、光氛、視象所共構而成的光之地景,讓人隨光沉浸在無限的想像之中。

15_何理互動-falling Moon.02.jpg

Falling Moon | 何理互動設計

Shuiyue Bridge is one of the most important bridges in Yuejin Port. Standing on the bridge, looking back in the direction of the old salt water street, you can witness scenes from the river, trees gently swaying on the riverbank, accompanied by fishing people going about their work. On the other side of the river, there is a old courtyard house, with great old trees looming above, forming a beautiful living scene. Although the river is not wide, it still leads to the sea. The artist uses his imagination to set a huge moon falling onto the water of Yuejin Port that slowly rotates in the current. The illumination of the moon is changed by the influence of the tide to create a light that breathes with the environment.

水月橋是月津港上重要的橋梁之一。立於此橋上,回望鹽水老街方向,可見到此河蜿蜒場景,兩岸之樹搖曳,伴隨釣魚人家。另一河畔則有一座三合院,與大樹構成一幅恬適生 活風情畫。 此河雖然不寬,最終仍是通向大海的。藝術家發揮想像力,從掉落在月津港上的月作為故事的起點,設置一個巨大的月亮,並讓它在水中緩慢的轉動。月亮的照明則受潮汐的影響 改變,間接的將海上資訊帶入月津港現場,打造隨著環境呼吸光。

致,更好 | 禹禹藝術工作室

"Better" through the pursuit of ambitions and growth in the challenges of life. "Better" through the changing vision and imagination inherent in the evolving landscape of life. The Yu Yu Art studio has participated in this festival for many years, and their series of artworks often use bamboo. This time the team employs bamboo to represent growth and transformation in the trajectory of human life. The external structure of the artwork uses bamboo, stacked and weaved together to form a defined structure whilst the white space inside the work represents the freedom sought, as we traverse life's journey.

「更好」是生命活動中的追求與成長。「更好」是生命延續演化的挑戰與想像。 「禹禹」藝術團隊長年參與本燈節,系列創作經常運用竹,作品一年比一年精煉、驚艷。這一回的藝術裝置,他們再度運竹材生長,轉化為人類生命的軌跡:生活總在規律中建構,生命卻嚮往從自由裡解構,在堆疊與交織中展生命經驗裡的記憶。作品內部的留白,則闡述眾人生命中的自由。致,那些曾經出現在我們生命中所有的人事物。

光的旅行 | VJ Suave

Brazilian new media artists bring mobile projections, and children's patterns run in the Yuejin Port Park, attracting the attention of friends of all sizes. The rich and rich artistic content invites the public to come in a beautiful atmosphere. In the production of the work, the local residents will be invited to participate in the workshop to draw special memories belonging to the town. Work together to complete this piece of salt water. In the dark, the artist set foot on the mobile projection bike and took the people together to venture through the light and feel the salt town.

巴西新媒體藝術家 VJ Suave遠道而來,以移動式投影、充滿 童趣的圖案,奔跑在月津港公園裡,吸引大小朋友的目光。 這件作品製作時,是以事先舉行工作坊的方式,邀請鹽水在地居民一起參與,畫出屬於小鎮的特殊回憶,同心協力、一起完成這件專屬鹽水的作品。接著,在燈節期間的夜晚,藝術家踏上裝載移動式投影設備的腳踏車 ,以精彩豐富的內容邀請大眾前來置身於美麗的氣氛之中,也與民眾一同冒險,藉著光,感受鹽水小鎮風情。

18_凌波微步-王俊淵.jpg

凌波微步 | 王俊淵

This artwork takes its inspiration from the dancers of old Asian culture, as the surface of the river is transformed into a dance floor, a stage upon which these radiant dancers are arranged. The dancer's upper body is created through a process of acrylic laser cutting and the plastic materials are then illuminated with colorful light. The dancer's lower skirt is constructed from round iron, with colored gauze wound about the frame, freely flowing in the wind.

藝術家以古代女子的舞姿,做為作品的主要造型。並以月津港河面為舞池,呈現舞者輕盈漫妙之態。舞者上身,以色光打照,呈現水晶般的美女。舞者下身舞裙則以圓鐵型塑,並加以彩色紗布,隨風飄逸、與風對話。舞裙延伸進水面,讓舞者彷彿出水芙蓉。作品並未裝置機械動力,且在看不見的底座以石頭固定,但是利用材質與視覺效果,有時令觀者以為舞者真的轉動了起來,在月津港水面歡欣的水上飄。

19_Aurora之境_陳映竹、陳冠宏、陳昱榮03.jpg

Aurora 之境 | 陳映竹、陳冠宏、陳昱榮 (材料贊助暨技術顧問: 鶴實業股份有限公司)

Aurora in Roman mythology is the goddess of dawn. She inhabits the heavens every morning to announce the dawning of a new day. She represents the first light that banishes the darkness of night for daylight and the promise of renewal. The work attempts to condense the dreamy attributes of light into a medium that is as breathless as the environment. The whole piece is created according to the on-site bridge body. The 1600-meter rainbow diaphragm is condensed into a 30-meter iridescent canopy with repeated bending methods. It hopes to create a rainbow-like cloud in the sky. Rich color and multi- layered light combine with the environment to create a wonderful artistic setting, blending reality and fantasy.

Aurora是神話裡的女神,她每天早晨乘風飛向天空,向大地宣布黎明的來臨,她就是黑夜轉為白天的那第一道光芒,同時也是極光的代表神祇。作品試圖將光的夢幻屬性精粹成一道介質,並如呼吸般的倘佯環境中。整件作品依據現場的橋體量身創作,以重複彎折的方法將 1600公尺的彩虹膜片濃縮成30公尺的虹彩天幕,希冀創造出一層虹晶般的雲體於天際,隨光營塑豐富的光色與多層次的光影,將環境與光及藝術融為一體,創造出現實與奇幻之間的美妙之境。

月波 | 謝佑承

"The moon turns into a prosperous night and the waves add a round of moon." Although the slowly flowing waterways and streets-capes of Yuejin Port have changed over time, they still share the same natural winds and river systems. This scenery forms the inspiration for the artist, as well as the poerty of the Yuejin Eight Views - Xingrong Shuiyue. The artwork is a hydrodynamic device. Circular shapes cut from fluorescent acrylic float on the water. Beneath the shapes, styrofoam balls draw power from the movement of tidal waters. The artwork reciprocates the movement of the water, up and down, creating a blurred image of moon floating.

「月轉興隆夜倍瑩,波心添出一輪明」,月津港自古以來緩緩淌流水道,即使鹽水如今街景物換星移,也共享著同樣的自然之風與河流。在這件作品中,藝術家利用流動不止的波浮水面,回應古月津八景之—「興榮水月」溪水粼粼與明月相襯的意象,看不見但也許仍存在著的嚮往,穿越古今。 作品水動裝置的動力,來自保麗龍板在水面上與風吹下波動的浪,使其上的螢光圓面可以上下往復運動,製造模糊、虛化的月影與光體的運動連結。

草原座標 | 高德亮

The experience of light in modern life is often viewed through a familiar medium. For example, mobile phones, screens, projections. Yet with this artwork, through the careful placement of artificial light sources and the use of organic elements as a means of intervention, the artist seeks to evolve our sensory experience of light in the modern age. Through the use of scatter-type devices, the scale of the work is expanded into a field where the audience can participate, and the body's senses are immersed in a space co-constructed by artificial light and natural objects.

術家透過了精準排列的光線與空間既有元素的媒合方式,反抗當代生活中被幾何光學主宰的生活經驗。現代人對於光的經驗,常經由尺規化的媒介觀看,例如手機、螢幕、投影等。透過人造光源的置入,以及以有機元素介入的手段,是否能讓城市裡尺規化的感知得以鬆綁?藝術家透過散點式的裝置,企圖讓作品規模從光源本身擴散成一處可供觀眾參與、穿越或暫留的場域,並讓身體感官沉浸在一片由人造光與自然物共構的空間之中。

The FROGGS | Groupe LAPS

Light puppets play music on stage like a real rock band. Working with the principle of movement decomposition, 56 puppets represent 7 musicians key frames. During the concert, the audience can interact with the music and the show. A control desk is set up on the riverside and visitors can select a music style, send solos and also play music, using sampling.

在月津港河中的舞台上,由眾多燈管組成的人偶(Puppet)搖滾樂隊隆重登場。樂團名「The Froggs」源自知名樂團「The Troggs」,但剛巧古鹽水八景之一是「月池蛙鼓」。這組來自法國的藝術團隊,運用數位科技遙控高達56位「燈管人」的燈光明滅與律動,呈現7位樂手演奏的動態,專屬音樂家並特別創作配樂。演奏時,觀眾還能在岸邊操作互動控台,選擇音樂風格、獨奏╱重奏,或是將有趣橋段置入音樂中,與樂團一起演出。歡迎您來同奏!
