| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 美術學系 === 99 === The title of the thesis is “Zuoying Military Village,” in which the author traces back the military village in the beginning, records the environment and the human dimensions, and ends with the exploration the living felt as well as the cultural affection evoked. The author faces the déjà-vu space, examines it, understands it, and retrieves it, which was once belongingness of my heart.
In the M. A. periods, I relinquished the absolute subjective point of view toward the artwork and, in the series of work, I used “the military village” as the object of the concerning discourse, which was not simply the personal evocation of feelings. As it obviously appears, I changed the work mode by using different materials in order to include more diverse means of creations. Focusing on the themes, contents, and the aura that I intended to create, I selected proper materials and utilized different modes of creations, instead of the monolithic style of creation.
I begin with the origin of the military village from what the senior veterans of the first generation told me as well as the objects that they left in the early days. Then I elaborate the past that I haven’t experienced, and produced the piece of artwork, To Exist, and Then Continue. Then, in an imagist way, I represented the environment and the architecture of the military village, and sketched it in order to record each object of it. In Heart in the Military Village, I searched for the unique signs in the military village, and expressed the singular position in terms of its historical and cultural contexts. In the series of artworks, Tenacious & Missing, I used the subjective point of view to demonstrate my personal feelings toward it by the collage representation. From the above mention, I stated the past, the present, and the future of the military village and meanwhile, I adopted the subjective and objective points of views to analyze my artwork. I adopted the discourses of classical realism and imagism as well as the field investigation in terms of its forms and spiritual dimensions.
The so-called “military village” covers diverse dimensions. The author attempted to represent it in its complete status. It is an accidental production in the history. The military village possesses not simply the singularity in the cultural development; it possesses the ability, for me, to heal and console my spirit with the years that passed by. Now, from the perspective of the offspring of the third generation, I retrieved the village in the abyss of my heart.
