竹篙山戰役與紅腳笭
內容簡介
從2016年的個展《望你早歸》,李立中開始以鴿子作為創作的寄情對象,對歸巢本能的迷戀,投射自己往返南北的前半生。透過鴿子之眼看到天際、家園以及飼養行為的各種應用,近年更延伸至鴿子在大敘事歷史之外的關鍵位置。
這本影像書是2017年臺南國際攝影節委託製作從溪北地區生長出來的作品,百年前的民間抗日「竹篙山戰役」,今日的鴿笭民俗活動,都寫入菜鴿負重而顯吃力地飛翔軌跡中。阿中透過田野的、歷史的、個人情感的書寫,將虛構化作真實的基礎,每一幀影像都么喝著老農人不擅言詞的生命之力,每一幀影像都存入阿中對鴿子如親情的愛戀。
文明的野地亦或是野地裡的文明,都不單是書寫著「生命飛越」那樣簡單。
來看灣尢怎麼揹起鴿笭,又怎麼飛翔。-安娜

Born in 1980 in Tainan, Li-Chung Lee graduated from the Department of Information and Communication, Chinese Culture University, and worked as a magazine editor in Taipei. LEE moved back to Tainan after he quit the job in 2012. In recent year, LEE has been captivated by the homing instinct of racing pigeons, and hoped to construct a path of self-conversation through research on the culture of pigeon racing, targeting issues such as sense of belonging, destiny, and post-globalization. LEE also plans to write a history of Taiwan’s pigeon racing, which is also Taiwan’s modern history, through a number of narrative works. 2019 work, “Battle of Mt. Zhugao and Red Feet Ling”, was nominated for Taishin Awards and selected to Kaohsiung Awards. 2020 work, “The memo of Formosa Air Battle”, was exhibited at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taiwan Biennial.
