The ambiguity in the perception of shadow and light / 維度裡的枝微末節

When an object is in space, its shadow is carried by the object itself. When the object vanishes, the shadow will also disappear. When only the shadow remains and the object is abstracted, the boundary between reality and illusion becomes blurred. Nevertheless, we can still feel the shape of the object itself. How can this perception of simultaneous existence and non-existence be defined?

I try to record in my work light and shadow at certain times. There is no concrete three-dimensional shape in this piece, but only a symbolic shadow that lets the viewer alone with an abstract existence. The threads were naturally dyed and hand-woven as symbols for the "labor" of the body and the "time" of the process.

Shadow is an appendage of light that moves in space in congruence with the position of the light. But only because of shadows, we can feel the light. With the light extracted, how can the shadow remain? Reflecting on the perception of these aspects made me explore the relationship between existence and non-existence.

物體在空間中影子便承載著物體本身,物體消失了影子也會跟著消失,反之保留了影子,抽離了物體,真實與虛幻之間的界線變得模糊,但是我們卻仍然能感受到物體本身的型態,這時候存在和不存在之間的認知,是否還能夠界定?

影子是光的附屬,依循著光的位置在各個空間裡移動,也因為有影子,我們才能感受到光,將光抽離後,影子要如何留下呢,以此思考主體存在的意義,並藉此探討存在與不存在之間的關聯。
