山海天人–我在自然裡

歲月之於蝴蝶,不以月計,僅須臾片刻,卻已然足夠。
——泰戈爾

當被放在山的環抱,海的洶湧,天的遼闊,人是怎樣的存在?

張開所有的感官感受,知覺,探索,這天大地大對人來說是怎樣的存在?

把山與海與天那個外面不知多麼大的世界,塞進展場,那全然是另一種將人放入大自然的方式。看山,不只可以仰望。聽海,不只隨波逐流。而那片天,不只白天黑夜。

去年,「生死晝夜:於死亡中前行」特展稍微討論了關於生命的感知,由失去生命,離開生命,來反照生命在我身的意義。今年「山海天人–我在自然裡」則嘗試突破生命的框架,解放隨心所之,想討論人與自然的關係。唯有拿掉生命的有限,放到天地山海的無垠遼闊中,會有機會察覺,人在自然裡的流動。

「靜觀山川,潛行海洋,穿越天穹」三個以自然沉思的主題,以山、海、天為視覺載體,帶領觀眾導入一場內心與自然世界的對話之旅。觀眾可以靜觀山川的峻秀與嫵媚、感受大地的堅韌與沉靜,潛行海洋的深處、體會潮水浪花的柔軟和洋流湧動,穿越天穹凝視暗夜星辰的璀璨、感受天空的無垠和遙不可及的神秘。是的,當感官通通打開的時候,第六個隱藏感官將被啟動,心・領・神・會・

透過這個奇幻也似的超現實展場,不同以往的角度進入山海天地之間,隨心所之開啟的內心對話:不論寧靜,不論爽快,不論澎湃,不論迷眩,就是那個屬於「我」與自然的脈動。我在自然裡,自然也進入我否?我在一切,一切在我。

Mountains, Ocean, and Sky—Nature in Me

The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.
~Rabindranath Tagore

When embraced by high mountains, wavy oceans and vast sky, what does human existence mean?

With all senses fully awakened for perception and exploration, how does this immense world manifest itself to an individual?

Bringing the immense world, encompassing mountains, oceans, and the sky, into an exhibition, we attempt to immerse humans in nature. Extending our observation of mountains beyond mere upward gazes; listening to the oceans instead of drifting with the currents, we find that the expansive sky holds more than the alternation of day and night.

Our exhibition, Bright as Night, Dark as Day: A Walk with Death in 2022, marked the beginning of our exploration of life. By experiencing the loss of lives, we reflect upon the essence of life and death and their significance to the self. Now, in 2023, Mountains, Oceans, and Sky—Nature in Me seeks to transcend the constraints of life and set our hearts free in the interconnectedness between humans and nature. Unbounded by the limitations of existence, within the limitless realm of mountains, oceans, and sky, we can observe the interplay of humanity and nature.

“The Pulsation Of Mountains and Rivers”, “The Dive Into The Ocean”, and “The Climb Over The Celestial Vault” are three themes that invoke introspection through nature. Utilizing mountains, oceans, and the sky as visual elements, these settings lead the audience on a dialogue between their inner selves and the natural world. Visitors can serenely behold the grandeur and elegance of mountains, perceive the resilience and tranquility of earth, and explore the depths of the oceans. Encountering the gentle waves or the surging currents, and marveling at the brilliance of the night sky, the audience will experience the limitless expanse and enigmatic charm of the heavens. Indeed, when all senses are fully awakened, the hidden sixth sense will be stirred, where the heart, mind, and spirit converge.

Through this enchanting and surreal exhibition, we venture into the realm encompassing mountains, seas, and sky, and approach it from a unique standpoint, thereby initiating an internal dialogue driven by our own aspirations. Whether in moments of tranquility or exhilaration, or being overwhelmed or mesmerized, it is the rhythm that resonates within the bond between "me" and nature.

Am I immersed within nature, or does nature permeate my being? I exist within all things, and all things exist within me.
