陳順築 記憶的距離
記憶的距離─陳順築2009新作展
Distance in Memory─Chen Shun-Chu New Works Exhibition, 2009
回溯陳順築過去的創作歷程，皆圍繞著一個題旨：引用大量家族照整理龐大繁複的家族命脈，為個人成長與祖譜脈絡排序與歸檔，這樣的創作可視為一套正在持續撰寫的編年史。走過二十多年創作長路，緊緊跟隨的始終是生命中難以割捨、遺忘的故事，2009年的新作揭示一個潛在的創作基調：「記憶」。在初秋這個適合想念的季節推出「記憶的距離─2009陳順築新作展」，撿選二十多年的黑白照片，在記憶的剪影上以繪畫技法塗覆透明物，繪畫裡的時間與攝影裡的時間在這裡交融凝固，將稍縱即逝的回憶封存收藏。
相片提示記憶永遠無法迄及的距離，陳順築選擇讓記憶自己說話，讓記憶在未來有正面的指向。挑撿路上的吉光片羽，一點一字輕輕點描出俳句，一瞥生命旅途中的似曾相識。端視09年新作，真實與虛幻交錯的片段，影像是吟遊詩人獨自走向未來，繼續在記憶長河裡書寫時光詩篇。《記憶的距離》揭示一則生命寓言：記憶不僅於過去，記憶是現在，記憶是未來，記憶是生命觀照。
In retrospect, Chen Shun-Chu’s works entail a topical format: he employs volumes of family photos to file andsort the evolution of a person and the development of intricate ancestral history; this method is comparable toan ongoing chronicle. Accompanying him in the years of art making are numerous memorable life stories; Chen’snew series of work reveals the subliminal state in the creative process – memory. This autumn, 「inart space」presents 《Distance in Memory》-Chen Shun-Chu New Works Exhibition, 2009. From over 20 years of blackand white photographs, Chen covers these silhouettes of memory with clear acrylic medium, blending drawingand photography, preserving the fleeting memories in time.
Though the pictures imply the distance that memory can’t bridge, Chen Shun-Chu lets memory speaks for itself.Allowing it an optimistic outlook for the future, memory picks up the precious moments along the way, one wordat the time formulating a Haiku, gazing at the déjà vu in the sojourn of life. Reality and illusion cross paths in thesenew works; the images are comparable to a nomadic poet marching into the future unaccompanied, composingpoetries in the memory streams. 《Distance in Memory》reveals a revelation: memory represents not only thepast, but the present and the future, memory is life’s introspection.
