梁宗鎏 Puzzleman Leung – TRANS-FIGURATION
展期：2021 夏 Summer
TRANS-FIGURATION
每當我長時間注視著一件物件，便會開始思考物件本身的意義。我一直都對於各類物件的功能以及其存在的意義很有興趣。物件本身因為它的功能性而存在，如果把它們的功能性移除後，那它本身的意義是什麼呢？沒有功能性的物件，還會有存在的價值嗎？我覺得物件本身的功能被去除，拿來當作另一個功能使用這件事很吸引，比如小時候會把汽水罐踏扁後當球踢。在這樣的脈絡之下，開始了這系列照片的創作。
羅蘭巴特於《符號帝國》中提到，日本的廉價產品往往會使用精美的包裝，使消費者誤以為內容物會與包裝的價值相符。在日常生活裡，各種物件代表的符號已經植入到我們根深蒂固的觀念。一旦物件脫離其原本所賦予的符號意義之中，人們便會產生各種不一樣的情緒。
這次的作品，我透過日常物件的不同組合，發掘物件能夠超越它本來意義的可能性，利用破壞物件原來的印象，讓其產生出更多的含義。
Whenever I stare at an object for a long time, I will start wondering the meaning of that object. My interest has always been in the function of objects and the meaning of their existence. Objects exist because of functionality. However, if their function has been removed, what is the meaning remaining of it? Do they have any value left for their existence? For me, it is very interesting to experiment on removing the original function of an object and replace it with another function. For example, when I was a kid, I would squash the soda can and use it as a football to play. Under this context, I begin the series of TRANS-FIGURATION.
Roland Barthes mentioned in his book 《L’ Empire Des Signes》 that Japanese low price products often use glamorous packaging to convince consumers to believe the contents inside match the value of the packaging outside. In daily life, symbols which are represented by objects have been embedded deep into our mind concepts. Once these objects have been taken out from its original symbolic meaning, people will have a different perception towards them.
In this series of work, I try to explore the possibility that an ordinary object can surpass its original meaning through combinations of them, and by destroying their original impression, another layer of meaning can be created from them.
