Face to Face
彭泓智｜Peng Hung-Chih

一系列白色玻璃纖維製的狗雕塑，每件頭部都有個可放入臉孔的洞，內藏螢幕，播放由狗的角度所拍攝的各種影像，例如牠和其他狗聚會、吵鬧、進食等。雕塑作品的姿勢及設計，逼使觀眾在觀看作品時須屈膝下跪，或叉開兩腿跨坐，打破觀眾觀看藝術品的傳統方式。儘管觀眾得以由另一物種的視野觀看世界，卻仍舊無法完全理解這些狗的動作和肢體表情。作品令觀眾獲得模擬其他物種的體驗，但同時點出想要真正轉換另一個視界，還是知易行難。

Face to Face is a series of white fiberglass dog sculptures which head contains a human head-shaped opening through which viewers can watch footage shot from a canine perspective, such as meeting and greeting other dogs, barking, eating, etc. The positions of the sculptures as well as their sometimes awkwardly placed viewing orifices force visitors to crouch down and straddle these forms, thereby transgressing the traditional boundary between the work of art and the viewing subject. However, despite the fact that the viewers literally have access to another species’ vision, the sentiments motivating the dog’s movements and actions are not so easily interpretable. Providing a constant reminder that seeing from another’s perspective is easier said than done, the sculptures nonetheless serve to facilitate an approximation of species.
