迷路 Lost
展覽簡介
迷惘是人生不可避免的話題，而年輕人更容易陷入迷惘之中。一方面，在成長的過程中年輕人接收到了新信息，學習到了新知識，對世界有了自我的認識，另一方面，自我的認知與現實真實情況之間的差距也讓人感到困惑。當缺乏實踐的年輕人逐漸從自我的世界走向一個真實的世界，時常會迷失前行的方向，並感到焦慮、失落或是無助，陷入掙扎之中。這迷惘的經歷被人們視為成長的必經之路。
本次展覽將從「個體與集體」、「理想與現實」、「迷惘與希望」 三個角度重新審視年輕年代所經歷的不同的迷惘，並找尋迷惘中的曙光，在當下這艱難的時刻，從藝術中獲取一些力量。
Exhibition Introduction
Getting lost is an inevitable topic in life, while young people are more likely to be trapped in it. On the one hand, in the process of growing up, the youth receive new information, learn new knowledge, and develop their own understanding of the world. On the other hand, the gap between self-perception and reality could be confusing. When young people lacking in practice gradually step out from their own world to the real one, they often get lost on their way and feel anxious, confused, helpless or struggling. This disorienting experience is regarded as the path for growth.
This exhibition will re-examine the different confusions experienced by the young generation from three angles. Individuality versus collectivity, ideality versus reality, and hope in the lost. We hope people can feel some power under this hard moment.
個體與集體 Individual versus Collectivity
人不單單是一個個體，同時也是某一個集體的一部分，而個體和集體之間的關係也會讓人感到迷惘。當一個年輕人初步融入大環境的過程中，往往會感受到個體與集體之間的矛盾與對立，而這些矛盾則會引發出迷惘的狀態。一個人們在年輕時時常困擾的問題就是:在這個複雜的世界，究竟是聽從內心保持自我，還是適應集體隨大流?
A person is not only an individual, but also a part of a collectivity. Sometimes, the relationship between the individual and the collectivity can also be confusing. When a young person initially integrates into the general environment, he/ she often feels the contradiction and opposition between the individual and the collectivity, which will cause a state of confusion. A question that often troubles people when they are young is that, in this complex world, should they listen to their inner self to keep being who they are, or adapt to the collective trend?
理想與現實 Ideality versus Reality
年輕總是代表著朝氣，理想與奮鬥，然而理想與現實的落差總是巨大的。中國有話「拔劍四顧心茫然」，講的正是滿腔熱血之人找尋不到目標時的迷惘;「為賦新辭強說愁」更直接表現出少年面對前途時的迷惘、苦澀乃至自嘲之情。當年輕的理想等著大展身手時，現實往往會無情的潑上一盆冷水。理想之於現實的迷惘也是成長歷程中的主旋律。
The youth always represents vitality, hope and struggle, but the gap between ideality and reality is always huge. There is a Chinese saying, “Sword in hand, restless, I wonder what to do” which talks about the confusion when blood-filled people can’t find the target; “To write a song pretending sadness” directly shows the confusion, bitterness, and even self-mockery. When the inexperienced dreams are put on the table, the reality often put it out with water. The confusion between ideality and reality is also the main melody in the growth process
迷惘與希望 Hope in the Lost
迷惘不完全是黑暗的，可怕的。迷惘的過程也是對自身的過往與 經歷的重新審視。 成長總是伴隨著迷惘與磕磕絆絆，一帆風順的人生是理想的，但也是危險的，沒有問題才是最大的問題。我們在迷惘的過程中學習，成長，最終能夠找尋到黑夜裡的曙光，迎接一個更明亮的未來。
Being lost is not completely dark and terrible. The process of being lost is also a reexamination of one’s own past and experience. Growth is always accompanied by getting lost and stumbling. A smooth life is ideal, but also dangerous. The biggest problem is no problem. We learn and grow in the process of getting lost, and finally we can find the dawn in the night and welcome a brighter future.
