作品簡介

80年代出生的劉耀中，將文字作為創作思考的源點，在文字標語化的轉換間，與空間形成幽默的對話。當逃生梯舖上長長的紅地毯，讓人聯想到優雅的星光大道，對外以霓虹燈「YOU ARE A STAR」與逃生梯內部呼應，同時也向過路的行人表示每人都是獨一無二的，有如明星般閃亮耀眼。
現代生活裡人們總是被各種無名的力量、荒謬、現實所侷限與挫折。當藝術家駐足於三樓誠品書店外長長的這面鏡子時，腦中出現了著名歌手麥可傑克森的歌曲《Man in the Mirror》，其中的一句歌詞唱道：如果你要讓世界變得更好，看看鏡中的自己，做出改變吧。藝術家有感於近日社會的種種動盪不安，雖然面對體制也許顯得無能為力，但總相信能從自己開始實踐理念，讓社會變得更好。
松山文創園區前身為「臺灣菸酒公賣局松山菸廠」，七十多年的製菸歲月，留下的不只是迷人菸草氣味，還有令人驚豔的菸廠古蹟建物。
松山文創園區之營運目標為實踐古蹟建築活化做為各項藝文、文創活動，同時也期望成為產業基地，提供跨界多元展演空間，奠定松山文創園區品牌形象。未來期許在整合松山文創園區具備之育成、輔導、展覽與行銷等多項功能後，注入現有資源及能量，帶動群聚效應，形塑松山文創園區成為臺北市設計及文化創意產業之原創基地。
Born in the 1980s, the source of Yao-Chung Liu creativity is words, and how slogans can engage in a humorous dialogue with space. Running a red carpet down a fire escape, he contrasts the glamour of a Hollywood film premiere evoked by carpet with the fire escape, a contrast complimented with the words “YOU ARE A STAR” lit up in neon on the window facing outside, reminding passers-by that everyone is unique and irreplaceable, and no less glamorous than celebrities.
In the contemporary world, people are held back by all kinds of nameless powers, absurdities and realities. When the artist came across the long mirror on the third floor of the Eslite Bookshop, the words "Man in the Mirror" occurred to him, the title of a Michael Jackson song. One of the lyrics is, "If you want to make the world a better place take a look at yourself and then make a change". In the context of all the turmoil in the world today, although in the face of the system the artist felt he was perhaps helpless and impotent to effect change, he still believes that change begins with the self, and can help to make the world better.
Reconstructed from what used to be the Songshan Tobacco Plant, The Songshan Cultural and Creative Park was designated as the 99th District historic site by the Taipei City government in 2001. To regenerate and restore its use, the park was revamped in 2011 to provide a place for diversified cultural and creative exhibitions. The park actively collaborated in a variety of cultural and art events, and organized design, audiovisual and cross industries exhibitions. After integrating various purposes such as education, guidance, exhibition and retail, the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park hopes to concentrate its existing resources and energy, transforming historic buildings into forerunning site for the development of design and cultural industries in Taipei City.
