绝版影像馆荣幸将于艺廊二楼放映室呈现艺术家苏郁心的虚构叙事录像作品:《特殊水，复数》。这是艺廊首次与艺术家苏郁心合作,我们对她以艺术研究为基础的创作手法十分关注。绝版影像馆位于半导体产业核心地区—新竹市。我们希望通过这部引人入胜的录像作品,为观众提供一个独特的视角来观看其安居乐业的环境。《特殊水，复数》探讨了与新竹地方和全球社会密切相关的重要议题，特别聚焦于半导体产业用水对生态环境带来的影响。在这部将近 20 分钟的录像作品中，我们跟随主角—一位卡车司机，负责将水从地方的溪流运至工厂，这一情节呼应了台积电在 2021 年，因气候变迁引发的干旱期间，所采取的运水行动。随着故事进展，司机违抗了她的工作指示，进行有利于人类和河川生态的反抗行动。这一深刻的行动，强调了仍待解决的半导体产业用水激增的问题，以及环境保护责任。影片深入探讨了全球电信和人工智能产业，这些产业高度依赖台积电的精密制造技术。在中美关系紧张的背景下，半导体业正逐渐转向在美国、日本及欧洲重新建立制造基地。地方的社运团体对台积电庞大的用水消耗、损害农民水权以及生态环境的恶化等问题提出了关切。《特殊水，复数》是艺术家与国立阳明交通大学庄雅仲教授的合作计划，通过教授提供田野调查及研究工作的指教。
自2024年起，艺廊携手LG合作启动一个新的项目，旨在突显移动影像和录像作品的重要性。在整个年度内，我们将于艺廊二楼独特且私密的空间中举办五场艺术家个展，与一楼专注于摄影之展览同时进行。艺廊的使命在于扩大时间和空间的维度，提供观众在隐密且更能深思熟虑的环境中深度参与艺术家的艺术实践。*特别感谢LG赞助，使得我们能透过LG OLED evo 8K
88吋尊爵系列电视完美呈现作品。
现居于德国柏林的艺术家及影像工作者。她运用散文电影、录像装置的艺术研究反映了对生态的关切，及人类与非人类交会的批判性基础设施的探究。苏的艺术实践以研究为导向，并涉及田野工作来调查水的政治生态学。苏于莱比锡艺术学院取得艺术文凭，并获颁第26届德国联邦艺术学生奖。她的作品于世界各地的美术馆及双年展展出：德国波恩联邦艺术馆、庞毕度中心梅兹分馆、釜山当代艺术馆、台北双年展2020及2023、卡尔斯鲁厄艺术与媒体中心、UCCA尤伦斯当代艺术中心和柏林世界文化宫等。苏的录像作品曾入围汉堡短片影展及EXiS 首尔实验电影与录像影展国际竞赛单元。

UP Gallery is proud to present Particular Waters, a fiction film by artist Su Yu Hsin, in our 2F Screening
Room. This marks the gallery's first collaboration with Su, whose
research-based approach to art has captivated our interest.
Situated in Hsinchu, the heart of the
semiconductor industry, UP Gallery aims to provide audiences with a unique
perspective on their livelihood and work through this intriguing film.
Particular Waters explores critical themes relevant to the local and global
community, particularly focusing on the environmental impact of the semiconductor industry’s water usage. In this approximately 20-minute
film, we follow the protagonist, a truck driver tasked with transporting water
from various locations to the factory, mirroring the actions of TSMC during the
2021 drought induced by climate change. The narrative takes a turn as the
driver defies her instructions, performing an act of resistance that benefits
both humans and river ecology.
This poignant act highlights the necessity of addressing the surge in water demand of the
semiconductor industry and the broader implications of environmental
stewardship.
The
film delves into the intricacies of global telecommunications and the AI
industry, which heavily relies on TSMC for its precision and scale. Amidst
escalating US-China tensions, there is a noticeable shift towards onshoring
production and re-establishing manufacturing sites in the US, Japan, and
Europe. Local activist groups have raised concerns over TSMC's massive water
consumption, its undermining of
farmer’s water rights, and environmental degradation.
Particular Waters was developed in
collaboration with Prof. Ya-Chung Chuang of the National Yang-Ming Chiao Tung
University, providing valuable insights through rigorous field research.
About 2F Screening Room @ UP Gallery A new initiative commenced in 2024 through
collaboration with LG, designed to accentuate the significance of moving
images, videos, and film works. Over the course of the entire year, within an
exclusive and intimate space located on the 2nd floor of the gallery, five
distinct solo exhibitions featuring artists’ works will coincide with
1st-floor exhibitions focused on photography. The gallery aspires to broaden
both temporal and spatial dimensions, providing our audiences with the
opportunity to deeply engage with artistic practices that demand extended
contemplation and more intimate settings.*We extend our appreciation to LG for
their sponsorship, enabling the impeccable presentation of works through The LG
OLED evo 8K 88inch Prestige Series television. About the Artist
