边缘 Edge
〈边缘〉由宽而细的梯子造型，直指天际，呈现了上升的姿态，也使人跃起攀爬的欲念和想象。不锈钢梯子光亮的现代性质感，对照着当代馆的古红砖墙，除了凸显出自身特异的存在，也镜射出与环境场域的某种对话。在此，艺术家刻意强化了此作的造型感和符号性，而异化了梯子既有的功能性连结——他以不锈钢材料打造长梯，将梯柱边缘刨成如刀锋一样的利刃，让攀爬上升的意念和伤害危险的意象，成为一种强迫性连结，然后又将新鲜的水果与艳丽的蜡果穿插并置于梯阶上，随着时间，真实的水果陆续变黑腐烂、凋零脱落，反而是仿造的蜡果停留原位，以鲜活做作之姿继续抗衰，以昂扬之态接力攀升。如果说这座刀梯象征的是，充满挑战与陷阱而追求高标成长的当代社会机制，则这些水果似正反讽地演出了一出真实自然让位于虚假做作，或劣币驱逐良币的人间戏码
Edge, in the shape of a narrowing ladder pointing skywards. The ascending position sparks imaginative thoughts and gives people the urge to want to climb up. The shinny completion of the steel ladder gives it a modern appeal, with a sense of peculiar existence enhanced as it is juxtaposed against the old red brick wall of the museum, reflecting and creating dialogues with the surrounding environment. The artist deliberately places emphasis on the shape and the symbolic nature of the piece, dissimilating the conventional functionality associated with ladders by creating the ladder presented with stainless steel and buffing its edges to form razor-sharp blades, creating a forced association between climbing up and getting hurt. Fresh fruits and vibrant fruits made out of wax are pushed down and placed along the steps of the ladder, and the real fruits then begin to rot as time progresses, but the vividly vibrant fake waxed fruits have remained stationary and unaffected by time and seemingly ready to climb forward in a relay like stance. If this ladder of blades is an analogy for challenges and obstacles imposed upon people in the contemporary society with expectations set exceedingly high, the fruits are then satirically used to present a play based on nature succumbing to superficial pretentiousness, as the bad drives out the good.
