2004 家居生活系列 Everyday Life Series
The living room is the center of domestic life for modern people. Every day, in every home and in every living room, a different yet similar story is acted out. My own domestic life cannot possibly be an exception. The television screens in our living rooms inform us of all the big events taking place outside, in Taiwan and around the world. Meanwhile, outside the television screens in our living rooms, big events are unfolding in our own lives. Popular culture, conflicts and violence imperceptibly eat away at our minds. Where is the “battle ground”? What is the “self”? As I sit in my own living room, sometimes I cannot tell.
客廳是現代人家居生活的重心,每天每個家庭及每個客廳都在上演著不同但又類似的故事,我的家居生活也不可例外。客廳中的電視螢幕內告訴著我們客廳外正在發生的國內外大事;客廳中的電視螢幕外也在發生著我的「人生」大事,流行文化、衝突及暴力不知不覺的侵蝕著人心,何處是「戰場」? 什麼是「自己」? 坐在客廳的我有時也分不清楚。
