地上是生活，地下是生存。 On the surface, it is about living; underground, it is about survival. 本次於MoCA Cube的駐地創作延伸自王思穎、林曉寧、楊詩敏、蔡佳蓉四位藝術工作者共同創作之【地下人】繪本故事。因有感於居住環境、垃圾以及環境污染所帶來的衝擊與反思，隨著人類存活的時間越長，生態問題日益嚴重，而許多議題卻在話題過後就被遺忘，問題始終沒有解決。本展期望經由【地下人】繪本故事，透過插畫想像失去控制後的地球，喚起觀眾對垃圾、空氣汙染議題的關注，正視與生活息息相關的汙染問題。 This time the on-site work at the MoCA Cube was developed from the picture book created by 4 artists, WANG Si-Ying (王思穎), LIN Siao-Ning (林曉寧), YANG Shih-Ming (楊詩敏) and YEH Chia-Jung (蔡佳蓉). The idea arises from observing the impact and reflection on the living environment, brought about by garbage and environmental pollution; with longer average life expectancy, ecological problems become increasingly serious. However, many problems are forgotten after disappeared from the media, and the problems still remain. This exhibition followed by the story of the picture book “Sunkensapiens”, expects the audience to imagine Earth losing its control through the illustrations, in order to raise awareness on issues of waste and air pollution, and to face this problem of everyday life. 故事想像一世紀後的未來，地球被海量垃圾淹沒，成了滋養病媒、失控繁殖的溫床，始作俑者人類別無選擇轉往地下苟且偷生，他們沒曬過太陽、沒吸過芬多精，整天揹著氧氣瓶，以畸形的生活形態與垃圾共存，成為地下人。故事圍繞著一位地下少年展開，因從未見過地上世界，在好奇心的驅使下，展開一連串地底向上的探險。 The story takes place after a century in the future. Earth was overflown with massive amount of garbage, becoming a nursery of disease and infestation. The humans that caused this have no other choice but to move underground in an attempt to survive. They have never been under the sun. They carries oxygen bottles with them all day, coexists with the rubbish, and becomes “sunkensapiens (the undergrounds)”. The story revolves around a sunkensapien teenager having never seen the surface. Driven by curiosity, he sets off on a series of adventure toward the surface. 王思穎、林曉寧、楊詩敏、蔡佳蓉四位創作者，皆為輔仁大學應用美術系應屆畢業生，因共同創作【地下人】而入圍新一代設計展─金點新秀年度最佳設計獎。 After human destroyed the earth by the huge amount of destructive pollution, there is no place to live anymore. Thus, the new generation has no choice but to live underground to escape from the catastrophe on the surface. Those who survive without sunlight and fresh air are called ‘Sunkensapiens’. In this illustration book, we would like to show you how their life is.
