Up the Walll 上牆

《飄浮身體》系列作品運用女性身體主體與客體重疊的視角，發展內建隱藏式『監視器』的觀看機制，試圖在遊戲當中進行機制的跨越與翻盤。作品以『居高臨下』的疏離位置，將行為者設計在高處凝望觀眾，觀眾經由多點視角不斷轉移觀看權力，監視機制在凝視與被凝視之間遊戲於展場空間，建構出大小遊戲場域的社會機制結構。

12場行為的花生逐次堆積於美術館地面，隨著觀眾來去踩踏，花生們在展間的交界處不斷被來回踢著，由觀眾與行為者踢踩出去，再由館方志工防守踢回展場。展場中，觀眾與花生互動成果由上至下分別有排列花生、承接花生、踏滑花生。行為長60分鐘。行為者位於高處不斷嗑食花生，並棄擲果與殼至地面，以高高在上之位，假制高點的優勢丟棄廚餘破壞場域的神聖性。

他們敲打著空間，擲落聲清脆卻無法成回響，看似堅硬卻激不起漣漪，隨後逐漸被人們的腳踩踏成碎屑、粉末，展間風扇蠻橫地使其四處飛散，不得安身立命、不能隨心所欲，惟依然持續存在，直到能向身處高處者，再次展開行動。

In the work series, Floating Body, Yi Ting Hsu uses the female body to form a perspective where subjectivity and objectivity overlap, and she also develops a surveillance mechanism that is concealed internally.

The artwork’s executor takes a “top-down” position to gaze down at the audience from a distance, while members of the audience see the dominant party from continuously shifting viewpoints. The surveillance mechanism shifts between the gazing side and those being gazed, which is followed by the formation of a social structure with sites of various sizes where the game is carried out.

Peanuts from 12 performances piled up on the ground of the museum successively. As the audience stepped on them, the peanuts were kicked back and forth at the boundary between exhibition rooms. It was kicked out by the audience and performers, and then kicked back to this exhibition space by the museum \’s volunteers.

In the exhibition space, the results of the interaction between audience and peanuts are arranged peanuts, collect peanuts, and slippery peanuts from top to bottom.

Floating Body – Up the Wall is a 60-minute performance piece with the performer positioned on a wall and chomping on peanuts and tossing shells and crumbs down. In a high-up position, food scraps are thrown down from a high vantage point, which disrupts the site’s sense of sanctity.

Sounds of peanuts thrown are heard in the space, but hardly any reverberation is made from the crisp sounds made when they fall to the floor. Seemingly sharp and hard, they barely evoke any echo, and as time continues to progress, they turn into crumbs and dusts underneath the audience’s feet. A fan in the exhibition space callously blows them all over the exhibition space, as they flutter everywhere beyond control. However, they continue to linger and exist, until they are able to take action at the one that is high up.
