冥王星在天蠍座
Pluto in Scorpio
冥王星，在占星學中象徵著「毀滅與重生」，是一股推動舊秩序瓦解的轉化力量。展覽名稱「冥王星在天蠍座」既指涉特定的星象週期，也成為藝術家觀看自身世代的切入點。自西元 1983 年至 1995 年間，出生於這時期的人們，同時經歷著時代的劇烈變革，包括威權崩解、政治與經濟的雙重動盪，使這代人自血肉中生長出質疑與行動的能量，始終在變化快速的外在環境與充滿未知的生存焦慮中，尋找能安放身心的位置。
Pluto, in astrology, is associated with “destruction and rebirth”—a transformative force that brings the dissolution of established orders. The title Pluto in Scorpio refers to a particular astrological cycle, while also offering the artists a point of departure from which to reconsider their own generation. Those born between 1983 and 1995 came of age amid profound social transformation, from the dissolution of authoritarianism to political and economic upheaval. Out of this shifting landscape emerged a generation shaped by an instinct to question and to act, continually seeking a place in which to anchor themselves amid a rapidly changing world and the uncertainty of survival.
藝術家劉玗與吳思嶔（LIU Yu and WU Sih-chin）一同成長於此一世代，⾃ 2019 年起便開始共同創作。此次展覽以「旅行」作為隱喻，試圖從個人生命經驗出發，將展覽延伸至一個世代共同面對的處境。旅行不僅止是處於外在地理位置不斷變化的狀態，同時也關乎自身如何觀看、與之共處的視角。作品自藝術家過去的旅行經驗回溯——將路途中相遇的人、事、物等記憶，透過影像、文字與雕塑媒材重新拼貼，使個人見聞的切片，放大為一整個時代的隱形印記，並探討特定時代背景下所養成的虛無精神。
Artists LIU Yu and WU Sih-chin came of age within this generation and have been working collaboratively since 2019. Taking “travel” as its central metaphor, the exhibition begins with personal experience and gradually expands towards the conditions shared by an entire generation. Here, travel is not merely a continual displacement across geographical space, but a way of reconsidering how one looks at, and inhabits, the world. Drawing from memories of their own journeys, the artists re-edit and reassemble the people, places and encounters gathered along the way through moving image, text and sculpture. Fragments of personal experience are thus enlarged into an invisible imprint of an era, while the exhibition considers how a spirit of nihilism, shaped by a particular historical context, may become embedded within a generation.
在不斷移動、離開與返回之間，人們彷彿精神版圖上的遊牧民族，此種不確定性在個體之間產生共鳴。藝術家運用大尺寸投影與多媒體技術，創造出如解構電影般的影像敘事，使觀眾遊走在虛實錯落，彷彿抽象夢境的空間裝置間，進入以身體感官經驗為核心的直觀體驗。行經展場中的人造沙丘、空中隱然浮現巨大月輪，這些具象徵性物件，一方面勾起觀眾自身類似的境遇投射，一方面也在群體意識中尋找個人與時代的連動關係。
Between movement, departure and return, the individual becomes almost nomadic within an inner geography, where uncertainty begins to resonate across private experience. Through large-scale projection and multimedia techniques, the artists construct a visual narrative reminiscent of a deconstructed film, leading visitors through spatial installations where the real and the imagined continually overlap, and into an immediate experience grounded in the body and its senses. Moving through the artificial dunes, beneath a vast moon emerging almost imperceptibly overhead, visitors encounter objects charged with symbolic resonance. They evoke memories of experiences that may be privately familiar, while opening a broader reflection on the relationship between the individual and the time in which they live.
展覽並未試圖為冥王星天蠍世代提出單一而明確的定義，藝術家透過解構過往自身經歷，讓觀展過程中所喚起的每一絲情緒成為回答的線索。人們無法逃離所身處的時代，在「身體不斷向前探索」的姿態中，也已不經意透露了「在心靈上撤退逃逸」的舉動。在物換星移中，矛盾、模糊、遲疑、逃避，都是回應當下生存狀態最真實的樣子。沉浸在這樣一段由非線性敘事與多媒材感知交織而成的時光中，不斷變化著的聲光裝置，靜靜映照出個體生命經驗的隱密回聲。
The exhibition does not attempt to offer a singular or definitive definition of the Pluto-in-Scorpio generation. Instead, by deconstructing their own past experiences, the artists allow each fleeting emotion awakened through the act of viewing to become a possible clue. There is no escaping the time into which one is born; even in the posture of the body continually moving forward, there may already be an unconscious gesture of retreat—a backward escape of the mind. Amid the shifting conditions of time, contradiction, ambiguity, hesitation and avoidance become some of the most honest responses to the experience of living in the present. Immersed in a passage woven from nonlinear narratives and layered sensory encounters, the ever-changing interplay of light and sound quietly reflects the hidden echoes of individual experience.
