Animation Installation
2025

這次作品在中之条伊参地區的やませ進行製作。這段期間經然開夜車，夜晚的路上沒有路燈，在我的車燈掃過他們的時候，我看見他們的樣子。在這之外，即便在沒有被看見的時候，我想他們仍然在黑暗裡生活。

走進這個黑空間，戶外的強光從門縫穿入，視覺不時在強光和黑暗當中切換；感受視覺所見的侷限，也意識所見之外的存在。

我希望這是一個溫柔的黑。從室外不同程度的日光走進空間，慢慢用身體適應，可以感受到空間在自己視角下的變化。即便對於影像記錄來說，始終是無法還原的重新詮釋，但我期望，即使沒被看見的時候，也能真誠。

This work was created during an artist residency in Japan, in a rural forest where the flow of “ki” can be felt. It is about things that are unseen yet still exist, just like hand drawn animation, where the visible drawings appear on the screen, while the space beyond them remains an imaginative blank.

The roads at night here are very dark. When I drive and my headlights pass over them, I see them. But beyond that moment, I know they stay in the darkness, quietly, steadily, even when unseen.

When you walk into this dark space, bright outdoor light comes through the gaps in the door. Your eyes keep shifting between the bright light and the darkness. This is a good way to feel the limits of what you can see, and to notice what’s beyond your sight.

During the process, I kept adjusting how to control and show the darkness. I wanted it to be a gentle kind of darkness. As you walk in from different levels of sunlight, your body slowly adjusts, and you start to feel how the space changes depending on how you see it. It is hard for video recordings to capture the real experience, and even when unseen, I still hope it exists in truth.
