DA+C藝術節「歷史上的今天」(Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah) 單元參展藝術家:羅仕東 (LO Shih-tung)

Artist
LO, Shih-tung | 羅仕東 [Taipei]
 
Shih-tung Lo focuses on the special textures presented in our daily life, seeing them as in Walter Benjamin’s discourse, fragments and reflection of a complete structure, a whole world. His works are organic documents attempting to inquire and contemplate ever-changing warped messages... Through the process of creating and interacting with spectators and communities, the fragmented, fissured, and forgotten history can be reconstructed or even fictionalized. It is about seeking one’s identity, residence, hometown, and city; those long forgotten, unseen ghosts. He is the Artist-in-residency and will present his new work during DA+C Festival, recommended by No Man's Land.

羅仕東關注於社會中日常可見的特殊紋理,將其視為如班雅明論述中的碎片,折射、反映一完整的結構、世界。作品作為活的文件,試圖誘發詢問與思考、移動與轉換的特殊訊息。創作不限於特定媒材或方式,從創作與社區、觀眾的交互過程中,將零碎的、間隙的、遺忘的歷史層積和記憶深處重構或甚至虛構;尋訪當代社會中關於身分、家、故鄉、城市——即那些關於我們已經遺忘許久,不可見的幽黯鬼魂。他將由數位荒原推薦參加八月於馬來西亞檳城舉行的DA+C藝術節進駐與創作。
