時空載體：建築與攝影再譯─李乙謙個展
現今我們生活在元宇宙的時代，一天中超過一半的時間身處於虛擬世界（2D）中，也因此慢慢淡忘過往在真實空間（3D）中與人相處的溫度。攝影師李乙謙希望透過「攝影」轉譯此現象，重新在虛擬與真實的世界中找尋空間的可能性，透過解構與重組，超越時間與空間，發現不同維度看事情的方法。
在未來世界，我們將擁有兩種身分存在於宇宙（ universe）及元宇宙（metaverse）中， 身分可以隨時切換，但時間軸只有一個，因此我們必須重新分配「本位時間」， 透過混合實境（Mixed Reality）的技術，如：AR、VR，讓人們遨遊於元宇宙中，不受時間、空間及重力等因素限制。在這平行時空中物質也可以任意切換，未來的商品、服務皆會有虛實兩種狀態，滿足人們在虛、實兩個時空中的各式所需。而時空建立於現有的土地上，現在人們的生活所需能以二維的形式滿足（如：線上會議等）；未來，許多虛擬的服務與城市機能，透過攝影與模型的疊加，虛擬的我們將會實體化走入現有的時空中。
本次「時空載體」展覽，展出李乙謙9件攝影作品，他試圖從畫框中找尋邏輯。每一件作品，都蘊含著他對於這座城市的看法，並且使其成為探索這個都市脈絡的起點、節點與終點。作品#1~#6呈現：建築模型結合攝影過程中的故事，以攝影師的拍攝經驗，讓觀者體驗空間氛圍；作品#7~#9：將系列作品拉成一條線性路徑，坐落一系列建築裝置，用新的視角重新認識都市。
Space-time Carrier: Reinterpretation of Architecture and Photography
Solo Exhibition by Yi-Chien LEE
In today’s metaverse, people spend more than half of their day in the virtual world, slowly forgetting the warmth of the three-dimensional real space where people used to meet. Photographer Yi-Chien LEE aspires to transform this phenomenon through photography and rediscover the possibility of space in the virtual and real world, using deconstruction and restructuring to transcend time and space and discover various ways of viewing things in different dimensions.
In the future world, there are two identities in the “universe” and “metaverse.” The identities can be switched at any time, but there is only one timeline. Therefore, your “home time” must be reallocated. Through mixed reality (MR) technology such as AR and VR, people in the metaverse can transcend time, space, gravity and other limitations.
In this parallel space-time, materials can be switched at will, and future goods and services will be available in both virtual and real states to meet the needs of humans in both virtual and real space-time. The space-time is built on the existing land, and people’s daily needs can be satisfied in two-dimensional forms such as online meetings. In the future, many virtual services and metropolitan functions that are projected on the models through the photographs will allow our virtual selves to walk into the existing world.
Space-time Carrier Architecture and Photography Retranslation displays 9 photography works of Yi-Chien LEE, in which he looks for logic in the frames. Each photograph depicts his own view of the city, making it the starting point, node, and ending point of this urban context. Works #1 to #6 represent the stories of building models and photography process, using the experience of the photographer to engage the viewer in the spatial ambience. Works #7 to #9 are drawn into a linear path, situated in a series of architectural installations, to reconnect with the city from a new perspective.
