AN ENCAPSULATED COMPLEX PROJECT

Orange

2008-03-28T00:41:00.000-07:00

這個背包跟了我許多年
第一次北上唸書背的是它
第一次出國背的是它
第一次環島背的是它
第一次流浪背的是它
我和它之間似乎存在著某種革命情感
背靠著背
嘗試著用我的雙腳和它
征服每個我想去的地方

這張攝於303車次竹田往枋寮的普快上
我很愛這裡的配色
車廂內充滿了溫馨的橘色色調
帶點油漬及厚厚髒髒灰塵的原木地板
裡面只有兩張固定的單腳小椅子和一個長板凳
椅子和長板凳的墊子是墨綠色的
旁邊還有一只藍色的木箱
黑色的包包靠在橘色單腳椅上
是這麼的和諧
這節充滿魔力的橘色車廂
就如同一個巨大的囊袋
包裹著自己前進

Suitcase

2008-03-28T00:40:00.000-07:00

This is a leather suitcase my neighbor gave to me. He brought it toBoston from Hawaii when he moved here for college about 50 years ago.He coincidentally came from the same place I was born. I use it tostore my stash of wool yarn.

From Lei-Sanne

Become very conscious of what you bring

2008-03-11T20:10:00.000-07:00

Backpacking around Australia, you become very conscious of what you bring and what you carry it in. Here are my two steady cruisers. On the left is a bag that I made for toothbrush, soap, shampoo etc. It's made from two cargo pockets sewn together, with a velcro top and a nylon strap that i found. On the right is a shoulder bag that I picked up at a thrift store after arriving in Sydney. I found that I couldn't get along without my ever present messenger style bag, so I had to find a replacement, this one was cheap and works great. It carries the essentials (for me at least) Camera, water, laptop, pens and pencils, sketchbook, and whatever bits and pieces settle towards the bottom.
My larger backpack now fits into these compartments called 'hard bags' like saddle bags, but hard. It's my first time using these, but they are extremely handy, stuff-able, lockable, and waterproof.

我媽的一個花布包

2008-03-04T04:59:00.000-08:00

心中有愛不要遺棄，換裝、給它穿新衣服、讓它生命重新活起。
這是媽媽的一位姊姊本來要丟棄的舊帆布包，有次媽媽去看他姊姊時，要帶一些小東西不好拿，姊姊順手拿給媽媽說，本來要資源回收的東西剛好可以拿來裝取，媽媽拿回家後看看其實質材還蠻堅固的，只是樣式陳舊且上面印的花色文字隨著時間漸漸脫落，外型實在不討人喜歡，靈機一動，拿出漂亮的客家花布（爸媽都是客家人所以這種花布對我們來說特別熟悉），動點巧手與心思，以縫紉機用花布把原先的帆布包整個的包裹起來，宛如一件全新的花布包。
當媽媽出去時，經常帶著這個美麗的包包，有時會吸引一些投注的目光。

媽媽說，這是惜福、環保資源再利用，雖然它非真正的生命，但能充分發揮而被利用，雖不起眼被遺棄，還可隨時跟在身邊，對被人遺棄的流浪狗人經常充滿關懷與愛的媽媽說，這就像是行為反作用力，只要多去關懷、給它換裝，它也會同時回饋你。
現在的人感時髦，用過就丟掉，妳帶給它新的面貌，有一份盡力，就有份感情。

印象最深的囊袋

2008-03-04T04:58:00.000-08:00

這是我印象最深的囊袋,
不但裝過便當,零食還有漫畫書,
也承載著我童年的回憶,
可惜童年一走，它也跟著不見了.

Portfolio bag

2008-03-04T03:13:00.000-08:00

I bought these portfolio bags in kuala lumpur near the collage I went to. this was back in 1998. So I guess its been a decade. It was quite convenient for job interviews back then when most things were in hard copy not so conveniently digital like now. I don't know i always felt it offered me security somehow cause' it's huge and if I wanted to hide from someone i could always duck behind it, charming i know. Anyway, although I use them mainly for storing things now, Their relatively in good condition given the age just like how they still take me back to that time period sometimes.

Broken suitcase

2008-03-04T03:10:00.000-08:00

I think this suitcase is about 6 years old. my dad got it at a discount cause he'd bought another suitcase on one of those special offer days at a store in kuala lumpur. i've had it ever since, he figured it was more my color and gave it to me. anyway, i've loved this bag for 6 years mostly bacause the expandable zipper thing it has so that i don't have to worry about sitting on it to get it to shut after packing. after i got back home this time, and actually got out of the airport, i found out that someone had broken into it at one of the airports. in a way its god that i didn't realize sooner at the airport, i would have gotten so paranoid thinking that someone was trying to smuggle something in it, maybe i watch the news too much. i guess whoever broke in realized that there was nothing much worth stealing, ironically all that went missing was a leaflet that i really wanted to keep from my last workshop, a few cds, and my deodorant. i thought it was awfully tragic but hilarious at the same time, cause someone realized that they needed deodorant!. i can't decide if i should move on from this suitcase or get a new one altogether. but new ones are just like getting an underwear that doesn't fit for me. i don't know how to explain it i guess i want something that's almost like an extension of my fingers like a cigarette, a paining knife or something comforting that's always there but something you don't notice.

小李

2008-03-04T03:07:00.000-08:00

這個小背包背到哪裡都很酷，從小朋友口中，我才知道這個包包上的人物名叫小李，是火影忍者卡通裡的人物之一，大家看了總是引起高度的興趣並覺得很可愛。然而，只有我知道這個包包裡面有一些深藏的記憶，還記得那年的一個畢業旅行，一個活力充沛的孩子，早上還坐在我的旁邊一起吃飯，因為他跟我一樣是少數吃素的孩子，到了傍晚就因沒遵守遊樂設施的安全規定而意外溺斃了，原本開心的旅行，頓然一下子陷入一種不知名的悼念中，這是上我美術課的學生，我事後還為他特別去念佛堂寫了一個大牌位並念了一天的三時繫念，或許也沒人知道，我也為他將全校小朋友送他的愛心卡片祝福語貼滿拼了一大張的超大型海報，不知道這樣子他能不能接收到，總之就是盡可能想為他作些什麼。這個小李是來自於他發生事情的當天早上，一位畢業旅行帶隊的大哥哥幫我用抓娃娃機抓到的，我很少跟別人說起這個故事，這個小孩就像小李一樣滿有個性，因此，這個看到包包會提醒我這件事情。但是，這個記憶有機會在這裡跟大家釋放覺得滿好的，可以是一種記憶與情緒的一種紀錄，拍攝這件作品時，我特別將包包放到這孩子以前上課時習慣坐的地方作為紀念。已經有四年了，這個包包還是常常有機會跟著我跑東跑西，繼續吸引一些大人小孩的注目眼光，而真正的故事只能在此才能閱讀的到喔。

It has traveled with me to many places

2008-02-28T05:42:00.000-08:00

This bag was a gift from my mother for my graduation. It is a handmade bag from a woman in Chicago...made of toile print cotton and is very nicely made. I love this style of black and white fabric which is kind of feminine and classic, but the type of bag is more utilitarian. It is a very comfortable size for me and I like wearing the cross body strap. I have used this bag for so many things and it has traveled with me to many places. In fact, it has suffered from its use a lot...the strap is tearing and the fabric has discolored and faded from so much use. Most often I have used this bag as a very nicely sized book bag. I have carried this bag during many exhibition installations so many times is has become a tool bag, holding tape measures, screwdrivers, pliers, materials and hardware, etc. I carried this bag on a trip to Hungary a couple summers ago....this bag was so valuable to carry anything I needed....translation dictionary, fan, mosquito repellent, sketchbook, camera. It was also useful to hold collected things...I found many interesting natural objects like leaves and thistles...but also enjoyed shopping for beautiful embroidered linens and small souvenirs (paprika is a Hungarian specialty spice!). In Hungary, the grocery store does not provide bags, so many, many times my bag was used to carry our food home which was a long hot walk. So, this bag has carried many sausages, breads, fruits, peppers, chocolates, vodka and even a few beers!I love this bag very much, but it looks so sad these days...In the future I will try to repair it and make it look fresh again.

超強韌和無限大

2008-02-28T05:34:00.000-08:00

鮮豔的外表下有著"超強韌"和"無限大"的內涵，七年的時間，陪我從淡水的夕陽，到英國的綠茵，至今我還是幾乎天天使用它，來裝載好多小朋友們的笑聲，我好感激擁有這個囊袋，也感激送我這個囊袋的人，我繼續帶著很多的回憶，也製造更多回憶!

Biggest challenge

2008-02-28T05:30:00.000-08:00

I won this bag last summer for swimming in a race in New York Harbor. It was a .5 mile race in the Hudson River. I swam it in 12 minutes and 53 seconds. I came in 78th place. I was very scared about this race. The biggest challenge for me was not getting too nervous. The water was a bit dirty. Overall the experience was very fun and exciting. When I walk around with my bag I feel very strong and proud and confident.

Inside the drawer

2008-02-25T07:47:00.000-08:00

Every time
When I open the drawer
It always lies on quietly
The pattern on the leather was ignorant but pretty
Show the past time and memories
Never has real thing inside
Just keeping the empty space and collecting more past time
Why not Perhaps the news cover again and again

新旅程

2008-02-20T21:11:00.000-08:00

原本的用途不得而知

每每背上都像是早班的小弟
要去按門鈴送牛奶

陳舊的皮革外表
透漏年久的歷史

錫製拉鍊已經脫落
被送到二手貨古董店的命運

就是期待新主人帶來的旅程

下雪的黃昏

2008-02-20T20:58:00.000-08:00

容量極小

皮革堅挺

下雪的黃昏

成排的市集攤位

零零落落的人們

大塊頭老闆手工製作

在沒有LT的狀況下

以歐元帶走

褪色

2008-02-20T20:54:00.000-08:00

這是我小時候

我媽媽做給我姊姊跟我的小提包

已經過了二十幾年了

還一直被收藏在家裡的櫃子裡

聽說小時候提起來很可愛

但時間久了

原本的線條也都褪色了

但還是可以從中感受到媽媽對我們的愛

編織的囊袋

2008-02-14T02:33:00.000-08:00

旅行總會遇見許多朋友

這些朋友

就像編織的囊袋互相交結
形成一段段記憶的篇章

車站的送別與禮物

道出不捨的情感與未知的哀愁

塑膠布

2008-02-14T02:32:00.000-08:00

舊的塑膠布剪裁的簡單樣式
將簡潔勤僕的特性描繪得淋漓盡致

看到過去的生命及即將展開的新生活

小囊包

2008-02-14T02:31:00.000-08:00

小囊包是尼泊爾當地的傳統荷包
保留了過去使用的痕跡與情誼

在旅程中裝著零碎的記憶與物品

壓力

2008-02-14T02:30:00.000-08:00

手織的彩色條紋布所做成的袋子
雖然做工不夠細膩
卻完整的呈現出人們辛苦掙錢

辛苦工作的勞累
為現實不得不的壓力

舊皮包

2008-02-14T02:28:00.000-08:00

在教堂附設的二手店找到的舊皮包
皮革經過年久的使用呈現出時間的歷練
柔軟的外表像是沒有負擔的過去

買下他所花的錢可以幫助需要幫忙的小孩

行李箱

2008-02-14T02:26:00.000-08:00

舊式的行李箱透過一條拉鍊裝載著過去
鎖頭壞了卻依舊藏著一股淡淡優雅的氣味
感覺像是一種香水散發出來的味道
藏著一對相愛的夫妻手牽著手的畫面

나는 떠날준비가 되지 않았다

2007-12-21T21:21:00.000-08:00

I am not ready to go.

나는 떠날준비가 되지 않았다.

琴

2007-12-21T20:47:00.001-08:00

美國的朋友
ㄧ個裝古琴的袋子
去年中秋節回國聚會雅集
他說要送我一個袋子
回美後做了一個給我
還訂製了一把琴……

它是一個皮夾
皮夾的ㄧ面是我ㄧ面是他
那是去年我手工自製的皮雕皮夾
那是去年他的生日禮物
可是禮物送出又回來

Water running through

2007-12-21T10:16:00.000-08:00

A gift. Before given to me, it was unused with uncertain origin. I use for 7 years. It breaks many times. I sew it. I put more inside then can fit, it continues to fall apart. It is only a small bag. Sometimes I carry books, sometimes a laptop computer. It is an old style. Some say it is a woman’s bag. Once someone saw it and stopped me to tell me they saw a man who was middle eastern with a similar bag. He said some people thought the man to be a terrorist. I have other bags that can carry more but I like the character of this one. Its simple yet elegant nature mature matures with age. It continues to fall apart and I put it back together with wire, thread, even once I used staples. Memory is a cow taped up to the sun to carry sticks and stones. Water running through.

小男孩的記憶

2007-12-21T10:15:00.001-08:00

關於ㄧ個小男孩的記憶
Mom的手提包小小的卻充滿了故事
對ㄧ個小男孩而言裡面裝滿了神祕的事物
絲質手帕口紅綜合的味道
ㄧ種親密的私人的愛人的記憶

手帕交的祝福

2007-11-26T09:28:00.000-08:00

這個包包現在已經很少使用,在大三時和高中好姊妹逛士林夜市時,無意間看到這個包包,而她幫我挑了這個顏色,很顯眼,但算一算這也是她第一次幫我挑包包,雖然現在不常帶它出去,但因為有好友的愛心加持,所以一直保留至今!

By Miss Lin

愛的行囊

2007-11-26T09:27:00.000-08:00

這是在2年前在士林夜市逛街時,因為男友覺得我的包包已經舊了,該換一個,所以就選了這個給我,加上販賣者跟我說這樣的圖案只有一個,所以是獨一無二的,也就買下來使用,至今已陪我走過無數個日子,裡面每次都裝著錢包.相機.零錢包.鑰駛,就這樣帶著它到處趴趴走,走遍台灣許多地方,也裝滿我的旅遊回憶,更裝滿男友對我的照顧,謝謝你~~

溫暖的加持

2007-11-26T09:24:00.000-08:00

這個kikilala包包是現在的嫂嫂在我還是幼稚園實習老師時送我的一個禮物,對我來說很具有意義,因為她一直都知道我喜歡kikilala就會特別幫我留意,加上當時在當幼教老師時,時常遇到一些幼兒狀況,回家跟她討論解決方式後隔沒幾天就送我這樣的一個小袋子,加上又是我最愛的粉紅色,而她的是淺黃色,所以是一對,但我捨不得使用,就一直將它好好收藏著,因為裡面裝滿嫂嫂對我的照顧及當時對我的支持與打氣!

PSP保護套

2007-11-25T20:18:00.000-08:00

這是PSP保護套喔…
因為我想玩的美國職棒大聯盟卡帶只有PSP有出
當時感覺終於買到了!!!
為了這台掌上型電動外觀的完好無缺
除了買水晶殼當作第一層外、還多買了一個硬殼的保護套
這樣就可以比較放手的去玩了，不用害怕刮到我寶貴的電動
雖然看起來很厚重，但是能夠完整的保護套我心愛的電動!!
不只可以打電動還可以聽音樂看影片

曼谷包

2007-11-25T00:41:00.001-08:00

它不特別

但卻是每天陪著我上下班的大大曼谷包

超好用!!
裡面裝著媽媽的愛心便當

小小筆袋

能保溫的保溫瓶
能遮陽擋雨的雨傘

還有可愛化妝包
一個耐用又實用的包包

目前無人可取代

短暫的幸福

2007-11-25T00:35:00.001-08:00

kiki&lala 化妝包

是一個認識不到30天的朋友送的生日禮物

堅固不渝

2007-11-23T20:43:00.000-08:00

認識第一年女友送的生日禮物
是一個陪伴我大學及研究所時光的筆袋
即使它已經舊了褪色了
我也早已離開校園的青澀歲月
然而我們兩人的情感
仍如同筆袋上代表兩人暱稱
堅固不渝

by Mr. J

LV

2007-11-23T20:42:00.001-08:00

LV包包
前男友送的生日禮物
陪著我每天來來去去，我淋濕了它也陪我淋濕
日復一復裝載著我的東西，連小猴也給它鼓勵
果然LV比男人值得信賴

終身保固

2007-11-23T20:39:00.000-08:00

很有趣的是EASTPAK這牌子的意思”終身保固”
平常是用一用就壞的這個竟然有保固
用了十年也洗過拉鍊從來沒壞過
是一位法國友人告訴我
縱使現在內部已經破損
今年九月再次去巴黎時本想再買一個新的
回去拜訪四年未見的巴黎友人仍繼續在使用一樣的這個包
因此後來也沒再買個新的繼續保留這份情感

From Miss Mon

噁心的性感

2007-11-23T20:38:00.000-08:00

在FIRENZE皮貨市場和一起去義大利的姐妹淘一起買的
是一位有革命情感的朋友
有很多的內袋與開口還有側邊放手機的袋子
旁邊還又有拉鍊開口
用到拉鍊壞掉媽媽用髮夾修復別上教授從韓國買回來送的吊飾
皮越用越好用髒了更好看
又是多功能使用可側背與後背
亦像是某人的皮膚附有孔隙

From Miss Y

便當

2007-11-16T19:04:00.000-08:00

紅白藍的袋子
它不是法國的代表
只不過是我媽媽用一塊碎布縫成便當袋
最後再用條紅白藍的緞帶裝飾
我媽媽說這是個充滿愛心的便當袋
哈…是吧
愛心便當袋裡面裝著愛心便當
愛心滿滿滿

襯布

2007-11-12T21:20:00.000-08:00

老公第一次出國去日本看國際包裝展

在小朋友尚是二年級左右的時候

帶回來的禮物

使用了十幾二十年載仍很喜愛
外表的皮革已經泛黃褪色掉皮

內部的裏襯也破損

先生還手工修補縫上新的襯布

修整後仍可再繼續的延續它的生命

繼續的使用

手持布包

2007-11-12T07:36:00.001-08:00

一位疼愛自己的長輩去日本旅行

帶回了這一個手持布包

36年前的回憶勾起

雖然長輩已經離去

把手的部份也已經斷裂損壞

仍不捨得丟棄

想念起長輩…

想念起當時的心情…

一針一線的鉤織

2007-11-12T07:33:00.000-08:00

民國66年時自己準備當新娘

為自己一針一線的鉤織出來
開心喜悅的心情如一顆顆的珠子
透明的玻璃珠穿過白色棉線

銀白色閃耀的光芒如月亮般皎潔
友人見了很喜歡後來還另外縫製了
咖啡色的兩只

白色帶花朵樣式的一只

粉紅色的一只

至今

這只除了結婚時拿過

平日

依舊捨不得使用

2006世界盃在德國的皮夾

2007-11-12T07:18:00.000-08:00

世界盃足球賽每四年都舉行一次，周邊商品看樣子沒啥稀奇
在比利時飛往羅馬的途中，空中小姐推著車子叫賣，銷售方式很是一般
看著似懂非懂的產品DM、
一如往常的用著破爛的英語及手勢和空中小姐確認價錢
一切的平凡中襯托出一個特別，特別的是，我難得願意花$10歐元
(相當於當時$420元的台幣)買皮夾給自己
世界盃的商品每四年就推成出新，而我擁有的是2006世界盃在德國的皮夾

by Miss L

一個箱匣

2007-11-11T21:51:00.000-08:00

飄著細密白雪映著昏黃的燈光是個寒冷的冬夜
漫遊在慕尼黑的巷弄小道
轉角遺落的手提箱吸引了目光
沒有上鎖沒有異象悄悄地拾起
狹窄的內部空間填塞著一條淡藍色的被單
沒有毀損沒有汙漬醞著股淡淡的香氣
是誰將這樣一個箱匣遺落在此
攜帶著陪伴接下來的旅程回到了家
卻因繁雜的都市與擁擠的空間而離開了身邊

那股幽淡的香氣依舊迴盪在空氣中在我想起這記憶的同時

Encapsulated Complex Project 壓縮的情結

2007-11-10T20:44:00.000-08:00

「壓縮的情結」作品計畫將由網際網絡開始，透過網路徵求民眾的囊袋故事。
在人生的旅途中，充斥著多樣的故事與背景、是動人的，像是放入囊袋中的物件般進進出出、汰舊換新；而每一個囊袋所承載的是什麼？對於沉默，囊袋是一種語言，裝載著過去或現在，也盛覆了多少記憶？打開自己的櫃子會有多少記憶懸掛在內？不論是私人的、情人的、母親的、贈予的、撿來的、全新的、破舊的、遺忘的，還是捨不得丟棄的個囊袋，都裝著記憶。而此計畫透過人們的記憶以及所代表的這一個物件：囊袋，將透過創作者再去咀嚼、消化。我將以囊袋空間的情緒與自己對話，以此來保存人們的故事，將民眾寄給我的囊袋影像與故事轉化為個人作品。

參予方式：將你的囊袋拍照，並書寫一段囊袋的記憶，以郵件的方式寄給我，書寫可以是任何形式，電腦文件、手寫、攝影、錄音…，亦歡迎與藝術家面對面分享囊袋記憶，而後我將彙整將人們的記憶放置於網路上〈隱姓埋名〉。
