The Sun Looks Warm
The Sun Looks Warm, Video, 17’45’’ , 2024-2025.
Co-created by Peng-Hsiu CheN and Chu Chung Wen, at Arteles Creative Center, Finland.
A transitional act pulled from within.
Before language intervenes, the body has already responded—raw, unfiltered.
Before understanding arrives, the camera is already gazing, instinctively.
In the sauna’s nakedness—shared and unhidden—lies a symbol of equality.
But under the gaze, what exactly becomes equal?
這支結合行為表演的錄像作品，在芬蘭 Arteles Creative Center駐村時，與陳芃秀共創完成。
影像核心概念源於我多年來發展的創作脈絡，最初是女性對身體形變的焦慮、關注身體在社會結構與性別期待下的觀看方式與角色扮演。作品以日常「穿衣」的反覆動作，探討我們如何一再將他人眼光、審美標準與社會符號加諸於身體之上。拍攝場景選在芬蘭傳統桑拿房——一個象徵平等與暫時消除階級的空間，我想藉此提出：在視覺之下，觀看中的平等是什麼？
