聚光燈下｜場景說書人–王誌成
消失近30年的中華商場，被蓋回來了！
在中華商場再度被拆除之前，藝術很有事團隊進到【天橋上的魔術師】片場，訪問美術指導頭哥-王誌成先生。除了記錄這個細膩還原的中華商場之外，也請他分享長期參與戲劇美術的設計理念。
頭哥一入行就跟著侯孝賢導演，多年打起深厚的底子。除了侯導，頭哥陸續與王家衛、盧貝松、馬丁・史柯西斯等國際大導演合作。數次入圍金馬獎，並於2019年以《返校》獲得金馬獎最佳美術設計。當天在台上領獎時，他特別向侯導致敬，那一幕令人動容。
談起電影美術，頭哥提起小津安二郎的電影：「你看了他的作品會發現說，他的影像都不著痕跡，就包括美術的東西、陳設都不著痕跡。再理所當然不過的東西就擺著就好⋯⋯後來想想，這種最不著痕跡的東西反而是更難的。」
現在，就讓我們一起進入頭哥的場景世界。
The Storyteller Behind the Scenes: WANG Chih-Chen
The Chung Hwa Market has been rebuilt after almost 30 years!
Before the Chung Hwa Market is torn down again, The Inside the Arts team hurried to the set of “Magician on the Skywalk” to interview, Mr. WANG Chih-Chen, the man serving as artistic director of the production. We recorded every detail of his meticulous restoration of the Chung Hwa Market while we asked him to share the design concepts behind his expansive career in production design.
Chieh-Chen got started in the business under the guidance of director Hou Hsiao Hsien who provided him with strong support for many years. Along with Hou Hsiao Hsien, he´s collaborated with several internationally acclaimed directors, including Wong Kar-Wai, Luc Besson, and Martin Scorsese. Mr. Wang has been nominated for the Golden Horse Awards several times and was finally awarded the Golden Horse for outstanding production design in 2019 following his work on the film “Detention.” Audiences were deeply touched by the special thanks WANG gave to director Hou Hsiao Hsien as he accepted his award onstage.
Speaking of production design, WANG Chieh-Chen described Yasujirō Ozu´s films
as “Films that seem timeless the longer you watch them; both in terms of the artistic and design elements. All the elements seem to fall into place naturally. The more I think about it, I realize that the most timeless elements are actually the hardest to pull off.”
Join us as we take a look into the scenic world of Mr. Chieh-Chen.
創作這件事｜許家維的亞洲考古路徑
2016年，中研院和西班牙學者合作，在基隆和平島發掘出十七世紀、西班牙人興建的教堂及四具墓葬，這個重大考古挖掘持續至今，藝術家許家維也從旁拍攝這個過程，作為他了解海權時代、台灣與歐亞國家之間關係的重要線索，也成為其系列創作。
許家維十多年前便開始關注和平島，在日殖時代，和平島的造船廠是日本最南端的軍事造船廠，國民黨政府時期，又是經濟發展的關鍵要角，高度濃縮了近代歷史，而許家維的作品《和平島故事》，穿梭於記憶、歷史和夢境之中，以極為個人的角度閱讀歷史。
此後他的創作網絡從台灣擴及到東北亞和東南亞，其中一條路線延伸探索亞洲殖民史，關心海權時代、荷蘭東印度公司在亞洲擴張的複雜網絡。2019年，許家維到馬來西亞拍攝新作《石頭與大象》，串連馬來巫師的傳統信仰、當代攝影技術和馬來西亞的被殖民歷史。
Chia-Wei Hsu´s Archeological Trail Through Asia
In 2016 Acadamia Sinica worked with Spanish scholars to excavate a church and four graves built in the 17th century by the Spanish on Keelung and Hoping Island. The large-scale archeological dig continues to this day. Artist HSU Chia-Wei filmed this process to help him understand the important link between Taiwan and other Eurasian nations during the Age of Sail. His work has since developed into a series of projects.
HSU Chia-Wei shifted his focus to Hoping Island over ten years ago. During the Japanese Colonial Era, the shipyard on Hoping Island served as the southern-most military shipyard in Imperial Japan. Under the Nationalist Government, the shipyard also played an integral part in the subsequent Taiwanese Economic Miracle. The shipyard is a microcosm of contemporary history reflected in HSU Chia-Wei´s “The Story of Hoping Island.” The piece synthesizes memory, history, and fantasy to offer a highly individual interpretation of this historical period.
HSU Chia-Wei has gone on to create an Internet of Things that spans across Taiwan to Northeast and Southeast Asia. One link in his network explores Asia´s colonial history with a particular emphasis on the Age of Sail and the rather complex expansion of the Dutch East India Company into the Asian continent. In 2019 HSU went to Malaysia to shoot a new piece called “Stones and Elephants.” The project sought to connect the traditional beliefs of Malaysian shaman, modern cinematic technology, and Malaysia´s own colonial history.
