成立已有十餘年的PS自私著物,對日本新銳設計師及當紅時尚品牌的引進不餘遺力。空間設計就是UNDISPALY的概念,似是而非的陳列,使用了許多我們隨處可得的素材,如舊木、玻璃、鐵、塑膠木紋磚、水泥漆色塊混搭出一個「地窖空間」。在奢華與頹廢、明亮與灰暗等不同的強烈對比中展現新舊融合的美學觀念。

鍾順達觀察到空間中因為許多矩形鏡面的多層次排列,讓各個小空間發展出不同風格及獨立性,當人們試穿衣服站立於鏡子之前,矩形裡的空間仿佛帶領著人們穿越另一個空間,而此作品所產生的矩形與鏡子的矩形,使現實空間與虛擬空間產生更多的想像與互動。作品《切片》是假想在拍照的當下,相機所「攝取」的,並非是光的折射,而是處於「綿延」狀態裡的空間「薄片」,是透過相機的快門,將空間「剖開」的實現;經由相機取景框,以相機特有的視覺在現實空間中形成一種「薄片」狀態,據實的呈現在現實空間之中。將相機裡空間「平面化」的形狀據實呈現出來,以看出機器之眼所觀看的世界與人眼所觀看之間的差異。

PS: Underground has been established for over ten years, and has brought in many products by new Japanese designers and latest trendy lines. The space is designed with the undisplay concept in mind with layouts that are ambiguous, and utilizes many found materials, such as old wood, glass, iron, plastic faux wood bricks, cement paint blocks to depict a feeling of an underground cavern. Amidst the luxury and decadence, the brightness and dimness, the strong contrasts bring about an aesthetic concept that is of the fusion from the new and the old.

From observing the composites of various rectangular mirrors in the space, Chung Shung-Ta's work allows for each small space to develop with different style and individuality. When people are trying on clothes and standing in front of the mirror, the rectangular space seems to be guiding the person into an alternative space. The oblong forms that the artwork produces along with the rectangular mirror, the real space and the surreal space allow for a great deal of imagination and interaction. The artwork, Taking of Photographic Framing, resembles the moment when a photo is being taken, and the camera captures not the reflection of the light, but the extensions of the thin frames in the space. Through the shutter of the camera, the space is being sliced, and the frames from the camera through the visual perspective that it holds towards the space create thin frames that are projected into the real space. The compressed flat space inside the camera is revealed to be able to show the different perspectives the machine eye and the human eye hold towards the world.
