「也許追尋的過程、放棄的勇氣,迷戀著永遠無法完成的旅行,
走在一段沒有盡頭,了解自己的路上,就是旅行的意義。」- 陳綺貞
陳綺貞,每個臺灣人在青少年時都會哼上她的一首歌,不管是當時對 愛情的懵懂無知還是對社會行為的一知半解,陳綺貞的歌曲總是能帶 給每個正在茁壯的年輕人一個撫慰的力量。距離陳綺貞上一張專輯『時間的歌』到現在已經相隔了三年,每個人 都在期待陳綺貞的全新作品以及回歸,因為對這一個世代的台灣人而 言,我們的青春裡都有著屬於陳綺貞的一個房間。今年七月,陳綺貞回到了觀眾面前;不過,這一次她不是帶著全新的 音樂而是帶著透過解構的力量的影像讓觀眾更貼近他的內心與想法。
「創作是危險的,有時會忘我到讓所有人擠滿我的床舖,
有時又必須 容許自我大到漫溢出自己的房間。」
- 陳綺貞
『移動的房間』是一個解構陳綺貞生活的展覽,就像是將一塊拼湊完 整的幾何拼圖重新拼湊,而在過程中我們檢視每一塊基本的物件如何完成一個完整的拼圖。身為一個臺灣流行文化的指標,出道 18 年的陳綺貞,除了有歌手的 稱號以外更有人稱呼他為一位藝術家,因為她不僅為臺灣的文化立下 標竿,更在渾沌的現實生活中保持自我。
『我自己就是一個房間,一個移動的房間』
