前言
文/肖瑞昀
從《獨自叩門》到《開門見山》,羅書杭展開的是一段關於身體空間的敘事之旅。
《開門見山》讓繪畫圖像與影像之間產生了互文,甚至是一種跨越時間和空間的對話。這樣一種互文方式,形同傳統繪畫中的「題跋」。「題跋」的出現標誌著畫作的另外一個轉變,從單一的圖像,轉變為圖像和文本共同構成的一個捲軸。1 如果將一幅捲軸看作一個整體,歷代的藏家對畫作進行的題跋,便包含了跨越時間的文本內容。
《開門見山》系列 Once Upon a Land series, 2020
羅書杭的創作某種程度可以視為另一種題跋的方式,同樣是後來者對前人畫作的註解。只是題跋的內容不是以文學及書法,而是影像;也不是在原本作品的畫面之外,而是嵌入到了畫面之中。
因此,原本的語境被化解了。在傳統的山水畫中,自然景象與人物融為一體,而且通常是一些文人雅士。羅書杭作品中出現的卻是再普通不過的人:買菜的阿姨、做工的師傅、穿著睡衣的男子、站在山頭的女學生……這些融入其中的現實影像,重新構建了一個語境,讓傳統與當代形成一種極具張力的矛盾。

羅書杭的另外幾組作品都表現了基於真實之物的虛幻之感:《下沉》是抽離日常經驗之後的物體樣貌,《青苔》則展示所見之景的重合。展覽的整體呈現是一種寧靜的氛圍,那是傳統繪畫元素以及宣紙材料帶來一種幽微的質感,以及展覽透過一個立軸的動態視頻,放置的那一輪若影若現的明月。然而,當細細觀賞這些作品,總有一個畫面成為觀看者的「刺點」2 ,甚至轉化成為某種不確定的情緒。在視頻作品《灰塵》中,觀者似乎化身為宇宙中的塵埃,這種不安感伴隨著現場聲音越加強烈。

攝影記錄的是時間的切片,羅書杭的作品則將時間的褶皺鋪展開來。 「獨自叩門」,歡迎到門內此間漫遊、駐足及觀賞。

Preface
Text/ Xiao Ruiyun
From Outside the Door to Once Upon a Land, Luo Shuhang ventured into a narrative journey concerning body and space.
In his work, Once Upon a Land, there is intertextuality between the painting and the image, and even a dialogue that transcends space and time. Such kind of intertextuality is similar to the "colophons" in traditional paintings. The appearance of colophons demonstrates an important transformation of the painting: it no longer purely consists of pictorial images but integrates visual and textual portions in a single scroll. 1 If a single scroll is considered as a whole, the colophons on the paintings added by the collectors in the past include texts that traverse time.
To some extent, Luo’s work can be regarded as another form of the colophon, which is also a commentary made by the later generations on the paintings of their ancestors. The difference, however, is that the content of the colophons is not literature or calligraphy, but image; also, the colophons are not outside of the original work but embedded within.

Therefore, the original context is resolved. In the traditional landscape paintings, nature and figures are very well integrated, and usually those figures represent the literati. Nevertheless, what appears in Luo’s work are ordinary people: women buying groceries, masters working, men in pajamas, female students standing on the top of the hill, etc. These realistic figures blend into the original paintings, reconstruct the context, and form a tension between the traditional and the contemporary.
《下沉》系列 Sink series, 2020
Luo’s other series of work all demonstrate the illusion that derives from things in reality: Sink shows the appearance of objects after stripping away from daily experience, and Moss shows the overlap of things we see. The overall presentation of the exhibition is immersed in a tranquil atmosphere, which is a subtle texture brought by the elements in traditional paintings and materials like Xuan paper. The ethereal moon demonstrated in the video on a vertical axis also contributes to the tranquility of this exhibition. However, when viewing these works carefully, there is always a frame that could turn to be the 「punctum」2 for the viewers, and it could even transform into some kind of uncertain emotion. In his video work, Dust, the viewer seems to be transformed into dust in the universe, and this sense of uneasiness is accompanied and augmented by the sound on the scene.

The art of photography records the slices of time, and Luo’s work spreads out the folds of time. People Outside the Door, welcome in, and please enjoy.
