About collaboration
Travelling Hometown was proposed by two diaspora artists – Hope Chiang (Macao/ Taipei) and Jiwon Yang (London/Seoul). The producers joined to their initiative with a belief - the artist’s nationality is ‘of secondary importance’ and the art is ‘his real passport.’
Hope and Jiwon, both left birth cities and settled in new cities where they found good for developing their own artistic creativity. Besides working as voluntary migrant artists, they also have common backgrounds of an object theatre with strong interest on visual arts. Since 2011, Jiwon and Hope are visiting old and new “home” cities – Seoul/Taipei and Macao/London. On a journey, they are questioning the relationship between a city and a human in contemporary era. |
關於合作
《游移的家鄉》 是由旅居生活在他方的兩位藝術家 – 蔣禎耘和楊芝媛所提議的計畫。秉持著「藝術家“真正的護照”是創作,國籍身份實為“次要”」的信念,兩方製作人因而參與了此項計畫。
禎耘和芝媛都離開自己的出生地,定居在一個更能發展自身藝術創作的陌生城市 。 創作上,兩人不僅皆為自發性的移民藝術家,更有物件劇場的背景,並同樣對視覺藝術有著濃厚的興趣。 自2011年起,禎耘和芝媛開始探訪舊及新的“家”鄉 – 首爾/台北及澳門/倫敦。旅途上,她兩開始提問,探討當代的城人關係。 |
