【橙】- 張美宇個展

《橙》

「某天，我在網路上看見一張圖像，我觀察了一陣，它發出的橙色，看起來像是橘子，於是，我到超市買了澳洲柑、南非柑，想想，試試看……
過了幾天，我開始幻想要擁有一顆橘子樹，於是，我在花市買了一個橘子盆栽，樹上本來有七顆橘，第六天掉三顆，第八天掉兩顆，第十天一顆也不剩……，老闆說會掉果是有蟲害，但我觀察了一陣，看不到蟲子……」
樹上結的橙色果子，在時間中掉落，撿拾起的只是顆乾掉的果子，我開始去推想也許「橙」是個時延的概念，也就是它經歷過了一段時間，而這段時間裡它可以是個顏色、光線、味道，又或許是個聲音，於是，我又開始收集大家對於「橙」的想法，在展場中拼湊出了一個零零碎碎的臨時居所，安放。

‘One day, I closely scrutinised an image I had found online. It was an orange colour and looked like orange fruit, so I went to the supermarket and got some Australian and South African citrus to experiment with… A few days later, I fantasised about having a citrus tree and got myself a plant at the flower market. In the beginning, it had seven fruits. On the sixth day, it lost three, eighth day two, and tenth day all… The seller told me it was because of the pests, yet I observed for some time and found none…’ In time, the orange fruits fell off the tree. I collected the dried fruits and contemplated the ‘橙’ (orange) in the context of durée. Within the duration of its experience, it could be either colour, light, smell or sound. Thus, I started to collect different impressions of ‘橙’ (orange) from people around and pieced together a temporary place for them to sit.
