在展廳入口處，有一個大約50平方米的獨立空間。作為入口的是一扇普通公寓式樣的門，每隔約4分鐘開啟一次，
讓觀眾進入，15秒後門自動鎖上。室內無光，無他物，觀眾將被隔離在這個黑暗空間中，經歷3分鐘的黑暗。
3分鐘後定時裝置啟動，一道狹長的光線慢慢從入口的對面闖進這個空間，提示出口所在，
觀者可以跟隨光線，尋門而出，當他回頭看這個出口時，卻發現自己是從一個衣櫃走了出來。
我們用視覺去感知空間和這個世界，並習慣性地忽略黑暗的存在，以及其中的世界是否真實。
我試圖建立這樣一個“空無一物”、“不可見”的空間，在預設的時間段裡，讓人重新面對視覺感觀，
以及身體對周遭不信任而產生的想像。
期望在這樣的空間中，觀者的內部自我與外部世界之間的邊界相互滲透。
當視覺的敏銳性消解為一個無焦點的模糊狀態，被這“不可見”包裹全身時，希望觀者能意識到自己，
正視自己於空間中有形的在場，並與其他的在場相互關聯，去追問什麼才是最真實的存在。
當外部光線闖進這個空間時，似乎暗示另一個真實的介入，觀者跟隨指引離開這個暫時的黑暗，
卻發現，自己曾不自覺躲進了誰人的衣櫃之中。
There was a
separate space about 50 square meters near the entrance of the exhibition hall.
The door which was a common apartment style door in the entrance opened every 4
minutes to let the audience in and closed automatically after15 seconds. With
no light and other things in side, the audience would be isolated in this dark
space to experience 3-minute darkness. 3 minutes later, the timing device
switched on, a strip of light irrupted into the space and hinted the exit. The
audience could follow the light to find their way out. They only found that
they came out from a wardrobe while they looked back the exit.
We use vision to
perceive the space and the world, habitually ignore the existence of the dark
and whether the world is real or not.
I tried to create
such an “empty” and “invisible” space in the default period to let people face
the visual senses again
and the
imagination created by distrust around our body.
The boundary
between audience’s internal self and
the outside world was expected to penetrate together. When the sensibility of
the vision dispelled to a non-focus fuzzy state and wrapped by this
“invisibility”, I hoped the audience were able to realize themselves, face
their own physical presence in the space, and inter-related the presented
thing, so as to ask what the realist existence was.
When the external
light broke into the space, it seemed like implying the involvement of another
reality. The audience found they hid in other’s wardrobe unconsciously while
they left the temporary darkness following the guideline.
