簡介
你我可能都看過牙牙稚子在探索世界時的好奇眼神--所有成人眼中的習以為常都是新鮮。韓國藝術家金明範也有這樣一雙如稚子的眼，他放下了成長過程習得的常識、歸零了生活當中的經驗法則，平凡的各色物品他都側耳傾聽其微語，打開想像力的自由，隱喻的聯想與代換都能信手捻來：例如燈泡裡向日葵取代了鎢絲，是否能自成一個小小發光體如太陽？又例如燭蕊，其點亮的星星之火是否能比擬森林大火的烈焰、而化身為一株焦黑的樹？
有時也不盡是具體的物品。在這件為粉樂町量身打造的作品中，藝術家將無形的「力」綴以繽紛氣球，翻轉為可見的有形；飛揚的氣球就如想像力的馳騁，不受形體所限，而椅腳的缺憾也因此平衡，成就了優雅與詩意。
The things that adults see every day and take for granted are seen through a fresh perspective as children first begin to explore the world. Korean artist MyeongBeom Kim adopts a curious, child-like perspective, letting go of his experience-based knowledge and resetting his expectations for the normal. Thus, his imagination has led him to make connections between various objects: a sunflower replaces a light bulb’s tungsten wire; a tree replaces a candle’s wick. Can the light bulb shine as brightly as the sun? Can the candle flame glow as intensely as a forest fire?
In the piece he made specifically for the Very Fun Park, Kim uses colorful balloons to transform a shapeless “force” into something tangible. The balloons are attached to a chair that is missing a few legs, thus balancing it out and giving this “force” a graceful and poetic visualization.
