藝術家簡介 About artist

奧斯瓦多.馬西亞  個人網站 email 作品Work

1960年09月11日出生於哥倫比亞卡塔赫那。目前居住在英國倫敦。
在我的作品中,我希望探討關於知識與感知的假設。基本上,我們對於這個世界的認知,是透過傳統和期望形塑而成的,而這種理解,經常迫使我們壓抑對周遭事物的直接感受。然而,對於外在世界給予我們的刺激,我們經常利用影像與資訊來表達,而這種訊息的處理,與感官與思考我們認為我們了解的世界有關。
我希望我的作品,能夠將感知的靜態視覺,轉化為感官的知覺型態,有聲音、氣味和影像,而這樣的過程,打破了我們以往建構世界的假設,去除單一客觀的錯置知識信念。我的作品包含了影像、實物、聲音與氣味,不論是那一項要素,都具有雕像般的空間實體,讓周圍的事物因它們而動。雕刻主要探討人類與形成我們這個世界的物體有關,而拓展作品中的感知範疇,讓我的作品由主觀邁向客觀,從經驗造就了知識。
透過聲音的雕塑、氣味的雕塑、影像與裝置,我希望我的作品能反映出人類與他們認為的現實之間的多重關聯性,顛覆我們以為的那個世界,提供觀賞者反動的思想,讓他們看得更仔細、聽得更真切、更注意嗅覺,更深入去思考我們賴以建構知識的世界。

In my work I seek to question assumptions about knowledge and perception. The ways in
which we attempt to understand our place in the world is structured through conventions
and expectations that often overwhelm our own direct perception of what surrounds us. I
am particularly concerned with how the external stimuli we receive from the world is
translated into images and information through our senses, mediated by what-we-thinkwe-
know.
I strive in my work to make a move from an ocularcentric mode of perception, claiming
sound, smell and vision in an expanded sensorial mode of perception. Such a process
breaks the assumptions we use to structure the world, undoing a misplaced belief in
singular and objective knowledge. My compositions are formed from images, objects,
sounds and smell. Whether object, video or image, the works operate as sculptures in that
they occupy space, pulling and pushing all that surrounds them for their own ends.
Sculpture is concerned with the relationships people have to the objects that form the
world we experience; in utilising a wider perceptual range my work opens itself to
subjectivity over objectivity, experience over knowledge.
Throughout my sound-sculptures, smell-sculptures, videos and installations I aim to
create encounters that initiate and reflect upon multiple relationships with what-isbelieved-
to-be-reality. My artistic practice sets out to complicate what-we-think-we-know
by offering counter-perceptions in proposals to look harder, listen more acutely and pay
attention to the sense of smell in order to think deeper about the structures of knowledge
we rely on to construct that which is taken for knowledge.
