家—參與式織品
藝術家：勞泓理
年份：2023
材質：舊衣布料
作品說明：
藝術家勞泓理是馬來西亞華僑，來台灣唸書後對「家」進行反身觀看，也有了重新的理解。她請家人從馬來西亞寄他們穿過的衣服給她，將之搓揉成一股股交纏的棉索，再織成織品。透過將衣服拆解、搓揉還原成纏繞的線與重構纖維的經緯特性，重新建構家族的離散經驗。這件作品也邀請將軍村的原住戶、新住民，及新竹市民一起參與，讓個人與他人的生命經驗能互滲編織，成為集體經驗。
Home: Participatory Textile
Artist: Lo Hong-Li
Artist Lo Hong-Li is a Malaysian Chinese. She reflected on the concept of “home” and acquired a deeper understanding of its meaning when studying in Taiwan. She asked her family in Malaysia to send her the clothes they used to wear, and then she rubbed the clothes into cotton threads and wove them into textile. By disassembling the clothes, rubbing them into tangled threads, and restoring the warps and wefts of fabrics, she seeks to reconstruct the diasporic experience of her family.
This work is participatory by design. It invites the original residents of Generals’ Village as well as the locals and newcomers in Hsinchu City to participate in the textile weaving. Through the approach of collaborative weaving, the participants’ life memories interpenetrate one another, becoming a collective experience that co-constructs the present.
