駐地計畫：迴面之聲
計畫說明：
我在太魯閣藝術與研究駐村是在今年九月。我在村子裡的Simat家住了整整一個月。我原本的研究計畫是要(1)瞭解村子裡人的運動活動，(2)研究過去的體能活動，(3)然後與台北和漢堡城市居民的運動生活方式做比較。
然而，基於與當地村民的經驗和對話 (尤其是與 Ikka Bial 的對話，以及與華美長時間的啟發性對話)，我部分改變了研究計畫的主題。本質上，它仍然是對過去的前文明傳統文化痕跡與現代文化表現的比較研究，但主題發生了變化。比較研究的重點現在古代神話和村落社區的信仰系統。或許部落中最著名的傳說，也就是跨越彩虹橋的神話，引起了我特別的興趣。這個故事的重要元素也可以在 20 世紀可能最重要的兩位先驅愛因斯坦 (Albert Einstein) 和佛洛伊德 (Sigmund Freud) 之間的著名信件往來中找到，這封信在 1932 年被聯合國教科文組織宣佈為世界非物質文化遺產。在愛因斯坦的建議下，文化理論家和宗教批評家西格蒙德-弗洛伊德(Sigmund Freud)解釋了人性、社會以及藝術和文化對其所產生的影響之間的互動關係。最終，這段著名的交談也是對每個社會中藝術與文化的保存與發展的懇求。
受到這兩段歷史文字的啟發，再加上我在村子裡的經驗，我決定創作一件作品，將這兩段文字做一個藝術性的聯想比較，也許還可以在這兩段文字之間架起一座橋樑。這兩本書寫於兩個不同的文化和時代。作為我的藝術研究專案的成果，我將於年末在村子裡展示這件作品。

研究員簡介：
Jakob Wlodarczyk是一位德國概念及多媒體藝術家，目前於臺灣生活及工作。其作品的起點是經由實驗性方式實踐的概念。他的創作重點之一是藝術性地探索文本與圖像之間的邊界，他不僅在他的裝置藝術中探討此主題，也在他作為藝術媒介運用的各個網路平台上加以呈現。身為藝術界的跨界人士，擁有法律學位，他的作品也觸及社會/群體議題。Jakob Wlodarczyk：的主要靈感來源是大自然觀察，他不僅透過純粹的感官知覺進行觀察，也試圖從理論上加以探究。為此，他在從事藝術創作之餘，目前於 Hagen大學修習哲學，主修自然哲學。

Project:
My stay at the Taroko Art and Research Residency took place in September this year. I spent the whole month in the village with a host family. My original research project aimed to (1) find out about people's sports activities in the village, (2) research about physical activities in the past, and (3) then make a comparison with the sports lifestyle of city dwellers in Taipei and Hamburg.
However, based on the experiences and conversations with the local villagers, I partially changed the topic of the research project. In essence, it remained a comparative study of the surviving pre-civilizational cultural traces from the past with modern cultural manifestations, but the subject matter changed. The focus of the comparative study was now on ancient mythology and the belief system of the village community. Perhaps the most famous legend of the tribe, namely the myth of the crossing of the rainbow bridge, aroused my particular interest. Important elements of this story can also be found in a famous exchange of letters between the two perhaps most important pioneers of the 20th century, Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud, which has been declared an intangible world cultural heritage by UNESCO. At Albert Einstein's suggestion, the cultural theorist and critic of religion Sigmund Freud explained the interaction between human nature, society and the influence that art and culture can exert on it. Ultimately, this famous exchange of words is also a plea for the preservation and development of art and culture in every society.
Inspired by these two historical texts and my experiences in the village, I decided to create a work of art that makes an artistic-associative comparison and perhaps even builds a bridge between the two texts. Texts that were written in two different cultures and eras. At the turn of the year, I will be able to present a concept in the early stages of this work as a result of my artistic research project in the village.

Researcher:
Jakob Wlodarczyk is a German conceptual and multimedia artist who currently lives and works in Taiwan. His works are based on concepts that he realises in an experimental way. One of the focal points of his work is the artistic exploration of the border area between text and image, which he thematises not only in his installations, but also on various Internet platforms that he uses as an artistic medium. As a career changer in the art world with a law degree (Bacc. Jur. Universität Hamburg), he also deals with social/societal issues in his work. Jakob Wlodarczyk's great source of inspiration is the observation of nature, which he not only pursues through purely sensual perception, but also attempts to explore theoretically. To this end, he is currently studying philosophy at the Fernuniversität Hagen, specialising in the philosophy of nature, alongside his artistic work.

《森人—太魯閣藝駐計劃IV Part 4：Kmpriyux hmtur ni maa brax mquri brah》
2023年初，同禮部落族人因在山上對山友提供接待家庭服務，被縣府觀光處依違反發展觀光條例罰款，被要求須在完成民宿登記後才能再接待，許多住戶無奈宣布暫停服務。所以去年底我們以「Kmpriyux hmtur ni maa brax mquri brah（化阻力為助力）」為題，徵集2024年的駐地研究企劃。
結果，讓人想不到的是在2024年遇到了0403大地震，地震破壞了族人賴以維生的山徑。交通的困境讓族人頓時失去了接待山友的事業，箭筍及瑪格麗等農產品也無法順利運送下山。2024年參加森人－太魯閣藝駐計劃的六個企劃也因此跟著調整，進駐山下的社區，思考Kmpriyux hmtur ni maa brax mquri brah。
今年分享展演的地點非常特別，位於花蓮太魯閣富世村的歌勒文傳工作室。這裡是部落工藝師都姆恩的藤編手工藝教室，也是默君的早餐店，更是社區大家經常聚會聊天的地方。誠摯邀請大家來花蓮太魯閣富世村走走，歡迎私訊我們預約社區導覽。即便非展覽時段，附近也有很多文史景點，非常適合規劃兩天一夜的小旅行！
地點：歌勒文傳工作室（花蓮縣秀林鄉富世村9鄰38號，可在Google Map搜尋「臺灣基督長老教會 太魯閣教會」，就在旁邊 https://maps.app.goo.gl/J9cD6tJJP6MiGiKh9 ）

Tree Tree Tree Person - Taroko Arts Residency Project IV Part 4：Kmpriyux hmtur ni maa brax mquri brah》
In early 2023, the residents of Tongli Village faced penalties from the County Tourism Office for hosting mountain travelers without proper registration, as it was deemed a violation of the Tourism Development Act. They were required to complete official registration as B&Bs before resuming their services, forcing many households to reluctantly suspend operations. In response, we launched the 2024 residency project under the theme “Kmpriyux hmtur ni maa brax mquri brah (Turning Obstacles into Strength).”
Unexpectedly, the 0403 earthquake in 2024 brought further challenges. The disaster destroyed vital mountain roads, cutting off the main routes that sustained the livelihoods of the villagers. With transportation disrupted, they lost their mountain tourism businesses, and crops like bamboo shoots and Margaret flowers could no longer be transported downhill. The six research projects participating in this year's Tree Tree Tree Person - Taroko Arts Residency (TAR) Project were also adjusted to focus on the lower valley community instead.
This year’s sharing and exhibition venue is unique—it will be held at the Gere Wenchuan Rattan Weaving Studio in Fushi Village, Taroko, Hualien. This space serves as both a rattan weaving workshop run by artisan Dumun and a breakfast café owned by Mergun, as well as a popular gathering spot for the community. We sincerely invite you to visit Fushi Village in Taroko, Hualien, and encourage you to message us to book a community tour. Even outside of the exhibition hours, the area offers many cultural and historical sites, making it perfect for a two-day, one-night trip!
Location: Kole Cultural Studio (No. 38, Neighborhood 9, Fushi Village, Xiulin Township, Hualien County https://maps.app.goo.gl/J9cD6tJJP6MiGiKh9)
