Monument for Human Rights on Green Island 綠島人權紀念碑

Paper-plate lithography,Print from nine plates,48x32(cm) I repeatedly reproduce the image of the same human rights memorial, allowing it to gradually deteriorate, fracture, and blur through the process of transfer printing. Through this material erosion, I question whether institutionalized memory, in being constantly reproduced and re-presented, risks becoming distorted—eventually reaching a point where its accuracy no longer seems to matter. The work is titled “Green Island” Human Rights Memorial, referencing Green Island Human Rights Memorial Park. Yet the image itself is in fact that of the Jing-Mei Human Rights Memorial Park. Through this deliberate displacement, I further interrogate the symbolic function of the monument and its efficacy: whether its meaning resides in historical specificity, or whether it has already been abstracted into a generalized, interchangeable sign of remembrance.

紙平版畫，一是九版，48x32(公分） 反覆複製同一人權紀念碑影像，使影像在轉印過程中逐漸耗損、破裂與模糊，藉此探問制度化記憶在不斷被再現的過程中，是否反而使其內容逐漸失真，甚至不再被關心是否正確。作品取名為「綠島」人權紀念碑，實則影像為景美人權紀念碑，透過這樣的錯置，同樣去探問紀念碑的象徵意義與其有效性。
