Ariel洗衣精、洗衣機
尺寸依空間而異
此件作品邀請觀眾將身上的衣服脫下,丟進洗衣機烘洗,再換上掛在展牆上的白色短袖上衣,在等待洗衣和烘衣的過程中,觀眾可以穿著白色上衣參觀展覽,或者也可以暫時離開展場。完成洗衣的程序後(大約七十分鐘),觀眾再將洗好的個人上衣穿上,帶走一種香味離開展區,或者說,觀眾是帶走另一種「人的氣息」離開。
這個「人的氣息」是創作者想像將洗衣精的香味冠名為Ariel的人物,透過洗衣機的運轉,洗潔個人衣物上的體味,讓洗衣精氣味充斥在衣服上,而這樣的氣味在你的身邊迴盪,陪伴觀眾回家,成為你的親密的伴侶。
體臭、汙垢、汗漬、氣味是人體活動後的殘留物,這樣的殘留(剩餘)可以做為一個人的標誌和痕跡,在污垢裡可以看見人類分泌賀爾蒙的在場,是「自我」的一種指稱、符號。
在清潔、洗淨的轉換過程裡,除垢後,將衣物增添了洗潔劑的化學香氣,而這種香氣讓創作者能夠加以名狀,成為一個人物「Ariel」出現在衣物上,轉化了髒污缺席後的場景,一位虛構的人物成為幽靈徘徊在身旁,香味提供虛構幻影的想像,作為一個人的氣息出席現場,而視域卻又無法望穿此虛構人物Ariel的面目,一個去中心的、去自我的意義在衣物的場域被延展開來。
有沒有可能將虛構的Ariel作為色情網站上的女演員?透過網站可以搜尋到一位藝名為Ariel的色情女演員,當今的數位生活已成為慾望生產和消費的場域,透過面對情色影像已然達成情慾消費的現象,我再將Ariel之名指向那位被意淫的慾望對象,她是位親密愛人、伴侶、激情的慾望遐想,更甚至是超越現實世界的精神幻想。數位虛擬影像已潛越現實生活的真實性,觸引虛擬想像越界於現實的生活場景,我們已沈溺於數位時代的影像世界,無法自拔的瘋狂。
