再述的隱喻: The Metaphors of Restorying

 

《再述的隱喻》集結8位藝術家，看似不同的表現方式，暗藏著許多不謀而合的隱喻，從童年記憶的講述，到自我價值與世代文化的反映，甚至對於生命及大環境的體悟，藉由作品的再詮釋，披著截然不同的敘事掛毯，說著你我皆可能面對的當代議題。

 

The artworks itself is a re-story or a re-enactment of the focused theme. Re-story possesses a strong narrative where the “story” is rather the life itself than just the daily motions; and the “self” creating process contains a certain humanistic meaning. With various unique styles, artists metaphorically depict all kinds of contemporary phenomena and the process of searching oneself. In such a life course, it is necessary to derive from the body's memory to reach the balance of inner order and then slowly form the life trajectory.

 

“The Metaphors of Restorying” brings together eight artists whose seemingly different expressions conceal many coincidental metaphors, from the narrative of childhood memories, to the reflection of self-value and generational culture, and even the understanding of life and the environment. With the reinterpretation of the artwork, it is like to drape a tapestry of a very different narrative, speaking about contemporary issues that you and I may face.
