死在展場 | 寧森個展
哲學家海德格(Martin Heidegger)曾說:人是「向死亡存在」(sein zum tode)的此在者。彷彿,人若不是為了死而活著,至少也是向著死而活著。[1]
本次個展藝術家以自身經歷開啟一連串我們面對瀕死時的行為提問。新作一貫地沿用他擅長的各式影像表現手法來引領觀者進入死亡的想像。展場以【死】、【逝】、【舞】、【飛】四件作品為主軸,透過虛擬實境讓觀者體驗瀕死的感受、將九相圖[2]重現並模擬出最直接的體感碰觸、以視覺感官刺激對死亡面容的想像、最後再用自白的方式道出死亡的體悟,希望觀者可以隨著觀看順序,直視死亡、觀想死亡、思考死亡,最後享受死亡。藝術家刻意在整個展場營造死亡氣息,透過作品一步一步讓觀者與死亡產生最近距離的凝視。所有作品皆因觀者而存在,讓觀者彷彿暫別現實一樣,在寂靜裡看見死亡,在死亡裡享受孤獨,讓死亡不再是恐懼無解的議題,而是一場多層次的藝術體驗。

Re-Die | Ning Sen Solo Exhibition
Philosopher Martin Heidegger once said, "Man is the 'being-toward-death' (sein zum Tode). As if, if one is not living for the sake of death, at least one is living toward death."
In this solo exhibition, the artist uses his personal experiences to initiate a series of questions about our behaviors when facing imminent death. The new works consistently employ various visual techniques he excels at to lead viewers into imagining death. The exhibition focuses on four pieces: "Death," "Passing," "Dance," and "Flight." Through virtual reality, viewers are able to experience the sensations of impending death. The NINE STAGES OF DECAY [1] is reproduced and simulated for a direct tactile experience, stimulating the visual senses to imagine the facets of death. Finally, the artist employs confessional means to express insights into death. The intention is for viewers to follow the sequence of observation, confronting death, contemplating death, and ultimately embracing death. The artist deliberately creates an atmosphere of death throughout the exhibition, using the artworks step by step to bring viewers into the closest possible proximity with death. All the works exist because of the viewers, allowing them to temporarily depart from reality, to see death in the silence, to enjoy solitude within death. Thus, death is no longer a topic of inexplicable fear, but rather a multi-layered artistic experience.
[1] The "NINE STAGES OF DECAY" is a Japanese painting theme that depicts the process of decay of nine corpses according to the nine stages in a cemetery.
