《我看著你》因應展場空間的特質發展現地製作。敘述體制內知識傳遞的話語權。

運用窄小樓梯間的地形,架設桌面於樓梯上方,擠壓觀眾上樓的行走空間,透過縮減高度,強化空間壓迫感。樓梯間平台上坐著行為者,不斷監視著上樓觀眾的背影,待觀者接近樓梯終點時,緊湊地按下計時鈴,催促著觀眾。

掌控計時鈴的行為者象徵知識傳授者,握有空間的掌控權;狹窄的空間暗喻權力者隨著位階爬升,自由靈活度相對限縮的狀態。觀眾抵達五樓後將從擠壓的樓梯間解脫,觀看相對受限的掌權者。

“Looking at you” is a site-specific work based on the characteristics of the staircase. Relate to the discourse power of knowledge transfer within the system.

Using the narrow stairwell, the table is installed above the staircase to compress the walking space for the audience to go upstairs. By reducing the height, the sense of space oppression is strengthened. The performer sits on the platform of the stairwell, constantly monitoring the backs of the audience going upstairs. When the audience approach the end of the stairs, the performer presses the timing bell hurriedly to urge the audience.

The performer who controls the timing bell symbolizes the imparter of knowledge holding power in the space; the narrow space telling the state where the dominant party getting higher, their freedom and flexibility are relatively limited. After audiences get the fifth floor, they will be released from the narrow stairwell and watch the performer restricted to the narrow platform.
