《等海氣與碎光曬乾的日子》— 黃冠慈駐村成果展
《Days Left to Dry in Salt Air and Scattered Light》— Jerry Huang Residency Exhibition
在這位於港灣的城市區域，時間不是線性的，而是被一層層地堆疊與沖刷。人來了、又走了，有些人留下了，像風停在某個轉角；有些人只是暫時經過，像鹽留在日曬後的粗糙表面。在這座歷經歷史多次變遷的海港城市，是一處不斷被定義、再定義的空間，歷史與地理交錯出城市邊陲的複雜身世。
本展覽以「流動」與「沉澱」為核心，思考人在在此地的移動與停留如何形塑出可感的空間紋理。人的遷入與外移是一種流動，而居留、扎根則是另一種時間性的沉澱。這些人類的活動軌跡，與氣候、洋流、濕氣共同構成了港灣區的日常—在季風迎向的夏季，陽光與風的介入改變了生活的節奏，也孕育了獨特的曝曬文化：從過往的曬鹽到今日仍存的曬烏魚子，日光不只是保存的手段，也是記憶生成的过程。
攝影、聲音、錄像、陶藝與藍曬等媒材共同參與這場關於地景與人之關係的追溯與回聲。它們既是記錄，也是殘影；既是對曾經存在的提問，也是保存當下的嘗試。在物與物之間的空隙中，我們看見那些被曬乾的氣味、留下的腳印與聲響，正悄悄組成這個地方尚未被完全命名的故事。
In this coastal district of the city, time is not linear—it accumulates, disperses, and resurfaces in layers. People arrive and depart. Some stay, like a breeze lingering in a narrow alley; others pass through, like salt scattered across sun-dried stones. This place has endured waves of shifting governance, shaped and reshaped through different regimes. It now rests in the city’s old quarter, a space defined as much by absence as by presence.
This exhibition centers on the ideas of movement and sedimentation—not only in the migration and settlement of people but also in the textures of space shaped by their passage. Human relocation is one form of movement; staying, settling, and lingering form another kind of time-bound sedimentation. These human rhythms, in turn, intertwine with natural flows: seasonal monsoon winds, ocean currents, and the humid air that defines Taiwan’s southern summer.
In this region, sun-drying has long been a practice of both survival and culture—from historical salt production to today’s continued drying of mullet roe. The act of exposing things to sunlight becomes not only a method of preservation, but also a metaphor for memory, imprinting presence through warmth, light, and time.
Through photography, video, sound, ceramics, and cyanotype, this exhibition seeks to trace these intertwined presences—material and immaterial. These works record, retain, and echo what once passed through: the scent of salt air, the imprint of a footstep, the distant hum of labor or wind. Between each layer, a story unfolds—not always named, but nonetheless inscribed by the flows of people, air, and light.
