「 L’oeuf = Love ﹦蛋 ﹦O ﹦愛 ‘ 精子湯匙到處去旅行。」

小熊森林在台北東區已有18年歷史,具標的意義的門前大樹,是在18年前店鋪開張時由老闆親手栽下;原先的樹苗如今已是卓然而立的大樹,也成為社區內獨留的一股綠意。當在地的風貌遇上旅居游移的生命時,會激起什麼樣的火花?

林俐貞以游移的巢為主題,探討人類未來與生命延續的概念,以「精子湯匙」為元素,類蝌蚪的精子符號概念來自於法文「L’oeuf」,字意為:蛋,發音與英文「Love」近似,而「L’oeuf」中的符號「,」即成為林俐貞創作符號轉化的來源,透過愛與生命的融合為出發,延伸發展為各式關於生命對話的創作。

城市的生命厚度來自於生活記憶累積,無論是旅人亦或在地生活者皆留下各種滋味而醞釀為醇液,透過遊戲般的表現手法,傳達藝術家對於新世代未來的思考邏輯。

註:精子湯匙靠本身互相交疊搭起結構,尋找各種縫隙或是物件端緣支撐來完成造型,不靠黏著劑,靠威而鋼。

“L’oeuf = Love = Egg = O = Love, ‘ the sperm spoons travels everywhere.”

Little Bear Forest has been opened in the Taipei East District for 15 years, and the most symbolic landmark of the restaurant has to be the big tree at its front door, which was planted by the owner when the place opened 15 years ago. It has grown from a small sapling to the thriving big tree today, and certainly adds a vibrantly touch of green to the community. When a local scene meets a nomadic life, what kind of sparks will be kindled?

Legend Li-Chen Lin uses the theme of a nomadic nest to look into the concept of human's future and the continuation of life, and a main element in her creative works is the sperm spoon. The tadpole sperm-like icon comes from the French word, l'oeuf, which means egg and sounds similar to the English word, love, and the l’oeuf icon “,” then becomes the source of transformation in Lin's iconic creations. Through the fusion of love and life as the starting point, various creative works are extended out from dialogues with life.

Urban life's compositions are formed by the deposits of life's memories, and regardless of it being a traveler or an inhabitant's daily life, every gesture leaves behind various essences that come together to form an original concoction. With a playful presentation method, the artist effortlessly displays her thoughtful contemplations for the future generation.
