Burning Stones 燃燒的石頭 (2022)
Burning Stones begins with the forgotten history of Pingpu Peoples' sulphur mining in Taiwan, using the old English name for sulphur stone as a metaphor for the hidden stories and the lack of information about and by them. Here, Lin emphasised on the gaps in reading/accessing the relationships between action, body, sound, image, and memory. In these shared yet individual experiences of feeling, moving, and interpreting, the paths up and down the mountain were stretched into infinity. Every place held the potential to be a path or not. The distinction between became subtle and fluid. To patrol was to venture forth, seeking traces in sounds, scents, fireworks, intuition, and bodies, or, upon descending the mountain, we followed the lingering trails of fragrance.
《燃燒的⽯頭》以台北空白的平埔採硫過往出發,以硫磺⽯的古英⽂命名,暗喻那些藏在故事當中, 缺乏的理解與書寫。在這個將《燃燒的⽯頭》製作成影像的版本中,藝術家企圖重現與強調關於動作、身體、聲音、影像、記憶(體驗者或觀眾正在生成的)間的讀取/存取落差。在這些共同卻個別地感受、移動、轉譯/誤讀的經驗裡,當時上山與下山的路徑是無限,何處皆路、何處非路,路與非路的差異並非那麼巨大。要巡守,便是前往,從聲音、氣味、 花火、直覺、和身體,尋找蛛絲馬跡。或者在下山後,沿著氣味搜查。
