｜策展概念｜

萬物與大自然共生，自然界沒有孤立的存在，其間供應與需求環環相扣，如同瑞秋．卡森《寂靜的春天》中所提的，土壤薄層像補丁一樣覆蓋著大地，控制著人類及大地上各種動物的生存，沒有土讓，植物不能生長，動物無法存活；相對的，生命也創造土讓，由於土壤中無數有機體的存在及活動，才使土壤能為大地穿上綠色的披衣。人類亦是依靠大自然的資源，得到生存所需的食物及蔽護，由狩獵、採集生活發展成今日的社會。

現今，人們經常忘記生存最基本的需要，也忘了對自然的尊敬及感恩，以予取予求的態度開發環境及浪費資源。日積月累下，原本自然界平衡的供應鏈逐漸崩毀，使萬物的生存條件受到破壞，不僅天然美景被眾多人造物所取代，空氣、水源等也不再純淨。直到嚴重危害人類的生活，環境問題才引起人們的重視，但大部份的人還是選擇忽視，逃避我們依附大自然而生所應負的責任。

此展覽主要是藉由景象及物件來傳達人類與自然的關係，一方面以信仰表現人對自然的崇敬，另一方面以景物訴說人對自然的過度消耗及破壞。透過展覽作品，我們可見自然因人所改變的地景，人們為了便捷的生活及自身利益，隨意開發山林、丟置廢棄物，創造出一座座人造物堆積而成的山陵、依傍著美麗海岸的核電廠、吞納著千萬噸垃圾的海洋……，長年累積的「人造風景」改變了大自然原有樣貌，默默的表達著大地無聲的嘆息及抗議。

「它說」藉由視覺藝術為人們賴以生存的大自然發聲，提醒我們關注身邊正在發生的事物及改變中的風景，希望從環境問題思考討論人為與自然的界線，找尋原初對待自然的敬謝之心，緩緩的聽山說、聽海說、聽空氣說、聽土地說，也聽聽他人怎麼說。

｜About Curation｜

All beings coexist with nature, and there is no isolated existence in the natural world; the supply and demand are closely tied as mentioned in Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, that the thin layer of soil that forms the patchy covering over the continents controls our own existence and that of every other animal on the land. Without soil, land plants as we know them would not grow, and without plants no animals could survive; it is equally true that soil depends on life too, and by their presence and activities the myriad organisms of the soil make it capable of supporting the earth’s green mantle. The humans also rely on natural resources for food and shelter necessary for survival, and thus have advanced from hunting and gathering to the society today.

Nowadays, people often forget the basic needs of survival, as well as respect and thankfulness for nature, exploiting the environment and wasting the resources as they take everything for granted. Over time, the natural supply chain has gradually faltered, destroying the living conditions for all beings; not only have many natural sceneries been replaced by artificial objects, air and water resources are no longer pure and clean. It was not until our lives have been seriously threatened that people began to pay attention to environmental issues; however, most people still choose to turn a blind eye, running away from our responsibilities to protect nature.

This exhibition aims to convey the relationship between men and nature through scenes and objects; on one hand, it presents people’s respect for nature through religions, while on the other, the exhibition narrates people’s exploits and destruction of nature. Through the works, we can see natural landscapes that have changed due to human activities. For convenience in life and own benefits, people randomly exhaust natural resources and dump wastes, creating one after one mountains of man-made objects, nuclear power plants by beautiful coasts, and oceans that swallow millions of tons of garbage…The “artificial landscapes” accumulated over the years have changed the original look of nature, conveying the silent sigh and protest of the earth.

｜Silent Scene｜

“Silent Scene” speaks up for nature, which human survival is depended on, through art, reminding us to pay attention to the things and events taking place around us, as well as the landscapes that are changing; through environmental issues, the exhibition aims to facilitate thoughts and discussions on the border between the man-made world and nature, seeking the respect and thankfulness men originally had for nature. Slowly but surely, let’s listen to what the mountains, the seas, the air, and the soil are saying, as well as to what the others have to say.
