——— Louise GLÜCK

Because in our world

something is always hidden,

small and white,

small and what you call

pure, we do not grieve

as you grieve, dear

suffering master; you

are no more lost

than we are, under

the hawthorn tree, the hawthorn holding

balanced trays of pearls: what

has brought you among us

who would teach you, though

you kneel and weep,

clasping your great hands,

in all your greatness knowing

nothing of the soul’s nature,

which is never to die: poor sad god,

either you never have one

or you never lose one.

Because in our world
something is always hidden

「當想到我短暫的生命會吞沒於永恆時間，以及我所佔據的狹小空間會消融在陌生的無限空間，我便感到驚慌。」 ── 哲學家布萊茲‧帕斯卡（Blaise Pascal）

浩瀚的宇宙施予無垠的律動，驟眼的閃爍引領平行的穿梭，萬物變化隱藏於動靜之間；宇宙一詞蘊含空間與時間，在沒有邊界與拋離物理時間之後，人類因隨著個人經驗上抽象的概念，在無限輪迴的宇宙圈內展現彼此的差異。展覽副題以詩人Louise Glück作品回答浩瀚無垠的宇宙之下埋藏的距離與情緒，在驚嘆於不可能的變化之下，人類該如何自身安命。

謝鎮璘的作品以有涯隨無涯的色彩情境呈現獨特的透視規律，凍結的影像在經驗的挑撥之下不再是靜態的經驗，色彩的美感探索與感官思考之間的認知蘊藏無限的可能。透過展覽從平⾯的超現實呈現，豐富延展成如宇宙⼀般廣闊且多維度的感知體驗，從個⼈匯聚成集體的共感。
