簡介/Synopsis

巫蘇拉‧薇菲絲1979年的錄影片「橫向／縱向跳躍」讓人回憶起體育課或者遊樂場上的午後時光：只見一個人臀部以下的部分在彈簧墊上跳躍。時而橫向，時而縱向，有節奏地出現在由兩個左右並列在一起的螢幕所組成的畫面上。因為這場表演是在一塵不染的白色空間中發生，使得錄影的影像理想地符合白盒子的概念。
這部錄影短片不僅對平面與空間以及畫與雕塑等範疇進行實驗，而且還探討了新的藝術表達手段以及呈現的方式。

Ursula Wevers’ 1979 video,“Horizontales/Vertikales Springen” (Leaping horizontally and vertically) conjures up memories of your own sports classes or of afternoons on the playing field: you can see a person from the hips upwards, who is jumping on a trampoline. Now horizontally, now vertically, they appear rhythmically in the image-field, which materialises from two monitors set up alongside each other. At the same time, the video images ideally correspond to the notion of the white cube, as the performance happens in a sterile white space.
The video not only tests out categories like surface/space and image/sculpture, but also advocates new strategies of putting art across and of presenting it.
