在水道蜿蜒的鹽水小鎮裡,如果能從水底召喚出守護月津港的力量,會是什麼呢?從90年代開始接觸了許多來自日本的卡通,其中最令藝術家印象深刻的就屬「魔動王」了,也是童年中重要的時刻。
作品由水面上魔法陣上方出現,運用月津港場域的多重視角,呈現不同的面相,從一側看,先是鹽水八角樓的意象,而從另一側觀看則是喚起他兒時記憶「魔動王」。藉由八角樓與魔動王的結合去共同守護鹽水這個小鎮,期望提供在地特色文化有更多的想像。
If there is underwater power in the winding river of Yenshui Township that protects Yuejing Port, what is it? Among all of the Japanese animations that were produced in the 1990s, “Granzort” impressed the artist the most and it also formed a large part of the artist’s childhood memories.
The artwork appears on the top of a magic circle on the surface of the water, and the different faces of Yuejing are shown. On one side, the image of Yenshui Bajiao (The Octagon Building) is displayed, and on the other side there is the childhood memory of the “Granzort.” The Bajao Building and The Granzort jointly safeguard Yenshui Township and stir the imagination for local cultures.
