讚爭與嚇平
近年來,我的生活重心逐漸轉向女兒。與她相處的日常充滿遊戲、想像與純粹的生命力。然而,當她在夜晚入睡後,我便回到另一個世界——一個被新聞、衝突與各種資訊不斷佔據的世界。這些來自公共領域的影像與情緒,持續與白天家庭生活帶來的平靜爭奪我的注意力。這個系列作品誕生於這兩種現實的交會之處。我利用人工智慧,將新聞事件、政治議題以及當代社會瀰漫的集體焦慮,透過文字生成為視覺影像,再將這些影像層層覆蓋於我拍攝的家庭照片之上,使公共敘事滲入私人記憶之中。我並非試圖重現或評論某一特定事件,而是希望呈現媒體、政治與全球危機如何悄然滲透進日常生活。這些生成的影像與家庭照片彼此競逐觀看者的注意力,如同公共世界帶來的焦慮,也持續與私人生活中的愛、陪伴與幸福相互拉扯。那些看似遙遠的人、事與衝突,其實從未真正與我們分離。它們持續塑造著我們生活的環境、養育下一代的方式,以及我們對未來的想像。私人生活與集體歷史,並非兩條平行的敘事,而是始終交疊、共同存在於同一個世界。FROM JINGOISM TO TENUOUS PEACE
In recent years, the center of my life has gradually shifted toward my daughter. Daily life with her is filled with play, imagination, and moments of quiet wonder. Yet after she falls asleep, I return to another reality—a continuous stream of news, conflicts, and images that compete for my attention.
This body of work emerges from the collision of these two worlds. Using artificial intelligence, I translate contemporary news, political events, and fragments of collective anxiety into visual imagery generated through text prompts. These images are then layered onto family photographs I have taken, allowing public narratives to intrude upon intimate memories.
Rather than illustrating specific events, these interventions visualize how media, politics, and global crises permeate ordinary domestic life. The generated images compete with the family photographs for the viewer’s attention, just as public anxieties compete with private affection within everyday experience.
Although these events may appear geographically or emotionally distant, they are never entirely elsewhere. They inevitably shape the environments in which we raise children, remember, and imagine the future. Private life and collective history are not separate narratives, but overlapping realities unfolding within the same world.
