保羅•瑟曼(Paul Sermon)的兒童樂園計畫邀請觀眾進入園區,藉由“掌上型電腦”及地圖的導引,隨機地搜尋故事發生的場景;譬如,小時候個人在兒童樂園所發生的奇特經驗:草莓冰淇淋掉落在橘色小蓬裙、遺失的小鞋、跌倒、擦傷膝蓋或關於這樣的空間記憶等。故事或事件讓成人重新詮釋這片屬於「兒童領地」的場域,記憶也隨著場所原型的意念,誘發潛意識的擴張,與場所建構了一種回憶擬態的關係美學。因而,「個人記憶」的擴張,轉化成為「集體記憶」的建構。
Hidden Voices: Memoryscape
Paul Sermon’s project at the Children’s Recreation Center is to invite visitors to enter the amusement park and, guided by PDAs and maps, to randomly search out stories taking place amidst the physical terrain – for example, unusual past experiences of different people at the amusement park when they were children: “a strawberry ice cream dripping on an orange skirt, a lost shoe, falling over and grazing a knee or how the space appeared then...” Stories and incidental experiences allow adults to reinterpret this place, which is the “territory of children,” while memories in synch with the archetypal concept of the venue induce the expansion of the subconscious, constructing an aesthetic of imagined memories in relation to the venue. Thus, the augmentation of individual memories is transformed into collective memory. |
