"Dwelling Place" - 2008 Taiwan International Video Art Exhibition

Martin Heidegger (1889-1976), by the very existence of thought and dwelling, once proposed "poetic dwelling, that building is in itself dwelling, which let the four elements (earth, sky, divinities and mortals) come forth and withdraw freely on their own; dwelling is in itself building, letting the four elements settle in one place, can henceforth reveal the dwellings intrinsic quality. He also reminded: Man puts the longest distances behind him in the shortest time. He puts the greatest distances behind himself and this puts everything before him in the shortest range.Yet, the frantic abolition of all distances brings no nearness. What is least remote from us in point of distance, by virtue of its picture on film or its sound on the radio, can remain far from us. What is incalculably far from us in point of distance can be near to us.

As mans living conditions are getting compressed in the globalization process, what results is distance that is difficult to identify, no matter where, we can see transnational chain stores, people using the same brand of household goods, living in similar situations at home, even manufactured exotic geography and landscapes. Today, how can we find poetic dwelling? What are the real plights of dwelling?

"Dwelling Place"- tries to bring forth thinking about the dwelling of mankind itself, from urban and rural living, housing relocation, environmental variations, and other topics, including the internal and external landscapes of the home, or the migration of laborers and marriage partners, even the relocation of the homeless everywhere, and so on, such are the diverse factors affecting the dream of dwelling. As a result, this exhibition will also take the opportunity to explore what the possibilities of globalized poetic dwelling at the ground level may be, and extend the relationships of such dwelling, including: urban dwelling, community culture, urban and rural differences, familial ties, migration and diasporas, and so on ... as well as other issues regarding "dwelling culture".

「居無定所?」2008 台灣國際錄像藝術展

海德格(Martin Heidegger,1889-1976),由存在本身而思考棲居,他曾提出「詩意棲居」,在棲居著的築造中,讓物自身自由地涌出和收回;在築造著的棲居中,讓四相一體安­居在物中,從而揭示出棲居的本質。同時,他也提醒說:「人在最短的時間裡把最長的距離拋在身後。他把最大的距離置於身後,從而以最短的距離把萬事萬物都置於目前。」「但是­,對所有距離的瘋狂廢除並沒有帶來任何親近,因為親近不在於縮短距離。就距離而言,離我們最短的距離,憑著它在銀幕上的圖像或無線電收音機裡的聲音,可以仍離我們很遠很遠­。而在距離上離我們遙遠莫測之物,卻可以離我們很近很近。短距離本身並不是親近;而大距離就其本身而言也不是疏遠。」

人們的居住環境已經在全球化的壓縮過程中,產生一股難以辨識的距離,無論深處何處,可以看到跨國連鎖商店,人們使用相同品牌的家居用品,居住於相近的家居格局,甚至營造出­異地情調的地域景觀。如今,如何找尋詩意地棲居?棲居的真正困境是什麼?

「居無定所?」試圖提出人類對於自身居所的思考,從城鄉生活、居所遷移、環境變異等議題中,包括住所的內外在景觀,或是勞動者、婚姻關係的移居,甚至隨處搬遷的遊民等,多­種面向正共築著一處棲居的夢想之境。因此,本展亦藉此探討全球化底層詩意地棲居的可能,及其延伸的棲居關係,包括:城市棲居、社區文化、城鄉差異、家庭歸屬、流散與移居等­和「居所文化」的相關議題。
