Cities Clean-up: Cyanotyping Garbage

art project
2017-2020

結合氰版藍曬和環境議題的《城市淨灘：氰版藝術行動》計畫，推著親手打造的行動推車，帶領參與者於不同城市和社區角落進行「城市裡的淨灘」，讓「撿拾藍曬素材」的同時也是「撿拾街道垃圾」。最後將路途中撿拾而來的城市碎片，曬製成藍曬影像，記錄下城市人們的生活軌跡。

在散步聆聽導覽及撿拾的移動和勞動中，感受環境和時間，認識環境也意識自己的日常生活。也在曬製藍曬影像的過程中，與垃圾真實地面對面相處。

此計畫於 2018 獲得臺北市文化局藝文補助。

In this project, a trolly was made into a walking cyanotype station as attempt to highlight the idea of “garbage” produced in our modern cityscape. Concomitantly, I hosted workshops and encouraged the participants to walk in the cities, collect garbage, and resurrect the discarded materials by way of turning them into cyanotype prints.

While we’re collecting the materials for cyanotype, we were also cleaning up the street. During the cyanotype printing process, we successfully created an opportunity to raise the awareness of how much garbage we create in our daily lives.
