關於作品
About this project
每個時代的遺留，都是生活場景。圓山貝塚地層中藏有的貝殼、獸骨、陶片、柱洞，都透露曾存在的家屋故事；而不完整的遺構與器具遺留，承載著關於過往「如何生活」的提問。本件作品以共創形式，邀請大龍國小學生共同製作陶貝殼，陶貝殼將固定於木構家屋之中，由小至大的漸變木構家屋與錯落排列的陶貝殼，結合日夜光線，穿透結構、延續沉靜氛圍，呈現過往聚落空間的生活智慧與痕跡；亦即，用雙手打造與歷史相互映照的生活記憶片段，累積屬於此地新的「文化沉積層」。
The remnants of every era were once scenes of life. In the Yuanshan shell mound, layers of shells, animal bones, pottery shards, and post holes tell silent stories of homes once built here. These incomplete remains and scattered tools raise questions of how people once lived.
This artwork was co-created with students from Taipei Municipal Dalong Elementary School, who handcrafted ceramic shells that have been fixed within a wooden house structure. The wooden house, gradually growing in scale, and the interspersed ceramic shells are illuminated by shifting light from day to night. Light passes through the forms, extending a
quiet atmosphere that evokes the traces of life and wisdom in past settlements. Each handmade fragment becomes a dialogue with history—a new “cultural stratum” layered onto the site, where memory, craft, and imagination converge.
