接海之島 The Island of Seascapes｜臺灣山海的文化生態 Cultural Ecosystem of Seas ＆Mountains

主題館「接海之島」以《水社會》為策展核心，從島嶼的地理條件與文化脈絡出發，探索人、水與環境之間的多重關係。

展場主體為一座懸浮於空間中的大型編織裝置，由農用棚架、漁繩與海鹽構成，象徵島嶼與水共生的生命意象，形塑出一座結合感知經驗與環境記憶的流動文化地景。裝置下方構築水平延展、光影交織的水下場域，匯聚電影、紀錄片、攝影與書籍等多元媒材，鋪展出具敘事張力的沈浸式水社會圖景。

展覽精選24部橫跨年代的影像作品，邀集七位藝術家與攝影師參與，並呈現近40本主題書籍，涵蓋河海地景、生存經驗、信仰儀式、文化記憶與城鄉變遷等主題。透過時間、空間與觀點的交錯，引領觀者進入辯證與感知交融的閱讀狀態，進一步思索社會結構與文化記憶的流動與轉化。

「接海之島」採開放式策展結構，鼓勵觀者與素材之間建立自由連結，生成個人化的理解路徑。

這不只是關於水的展覽，更是一場文化辯證與未來想像的邀請。

The Island of Seascapes takes Water Societies as its curatorial core, exploring the multilayered relationship between people, water, and the environment through the island’s geography and cultural contexts.

The centerpiece is a large woven installation suspended in midair—composed of agricultural scaffolding, fishing ropes and sea salt. It symbolizes the life-forms that emerge from coexistence with water, shaping a sensory, ever-shifting cultural landscape. Beneath it, a reflective space unfolds, interwoven with light and shadow, showcasing films, documentaries, photography, and books to compose a narrative-rich and immersive water society.

The exhibition presents 25 film and video works spanning different eras, features contributions from six visual artists and photographers, and offers nearly 40 books. These explore river and ocean ecologies, survival experiences, belief systems, cultural memory, and urban transformation. Through the layering of time, space, and perspective, viewers enter a dialectical and sensory mode of reading, and reflect on the flow and transformative nature of cultural memory and social structures.

With its open curatorial structure, The Island of Seascapes invites audiences to freely connect with the materials, shaping their own personal pathways of understanding.

This is not merely an exhibition about water—but a space for cultural dialogue and imagining the future.
