Remaking Ghost
2017
Siao-long Cultural Park Gallery, Tainan / Taiwan

Walking on the streets of this small town, he collects interesting points with his camera and draws abstracted images on papers according to the photos he took. He also challenges transforming the drawings into various forms of media when staying in Soulangh, such as three-dimensional sculptures, wall paintings, and animation.

The title “Remaking Ghosts” comes from his interests in how Taiwanese people model and idolize ghosts. The existence of ghosts in this world has been unsubstantial; however, general people still manage to give them shapes and characterize them in accordance with the lore of folk and imagination. Same as the process of embodying ghosts, YUYA SUZUKI substantializes the unsubstantial elements and discovers invisible hidden images from the visible real world. He sees the reality he attempts to reveal in an artistic perspective as unsubstantial, just like ghosts.

駐村期間藝術家將最近的繪圖計劃「原圖學」實踐在對佳里的城鄉風景觀察上。穿梭在佳里的街巷內，鈴木用相機來記錄有趣的事物，再看著照片繪製草圖。在蕭壠園區的創作期間，他還嘗試將手繪圖以多媒體的方式呈現，如：3D雕塑、牆上塗鴉、動畫。之所以選擇「重製幽靈」這個標題，是因為藝術家對於台灣人形塑和膜拜幽靈的舉動感到有趣。幽靈在這個世界的存在並無實體，普羅大眾卻想憑己身的民俗知識及想像力，賦予他們形體和性格。而他的創作過程就像台灣人在形塑鬼魂一樣，賦予虛無的元素實體，並從這視覺世界中挖掘肉眼看不到的潛在意象。在這次展覽中，鈴木悠哉將那難以捉摸的真相視作了幽靈，並試圖揭開它的面紗。
