Biographical note

羅仕東關注於社會中日常可見的特殊紋理,將其視為如班雅明論述中的碎片,折射、反映一完整的結構、世界。作品作為活的文件,試圖誘發詢問與思考、移動與轉換的特殊訊息。

其創作並不限於特定媒材或方式,繪畫、攝影、表演行為、聲音、影像、裝置、事件,皆作為具體的形與物,以及將之投擲於公共領域後的折射與回響。

從創作與社區、觀眾的交互過程中,將零碎的、間隙的、遺忘的歷史層積和記憶深處重構或甚至虛構;尋訪當代社會中關於身分、家、故鄉、城市 -即那些關於我們已經遺忘許久,不可見的幽黯鬼魂。

Lo Shih-Tung regard the special textures present in our daily life, seeing them as in Walter Benjamin’s discourse, fragments and reflection of a complete structure, a whole world. My works are organic documents attempting to inquire and contemplate ever-changing warped messages.

Painting, photography, performance, audio/ video, installation, happenings can all be part of a creation thrown to public arenas awakening its refraction and feedback.

Through the process of creating and interacting with spectators and communities, the fragmented, fissured, and forgotten history can be restored or even fictionalized. It is about seeking one’s identity, residence, hometown, and city; those long forgotten, unseen ghosts.

朗讀- / Reading-



“Reading” were performances which Lo Shih-Tung contributed in Yeh Wei-Li’s “super Friday project” at Yeh’s New Day Street studio in Pushin. “super Friday project” was a collective of events, including performance art, sound art, literary creation, installation art etc., held consecutively on Friday nights. Lo contributed twice in “Reading” with his readings of “Reflects on Military Service” and “Reflects on our contemporary art”
. The content of “Reflects on Military Service” consists of verses from the diary Lo kept during his military services; “Reflects on Military Service” was inspired by his correspondences with friends on various debatable issues regarding contemporary art. Lo collaborated with fellow artist, Jo-Mei Lee, combining the physically extreme art of yoga unto each of his readings, creating a unique narrative performance.




<朗讀>,是羅仕東參與葉偉立於埔心的日新街工作室的<超級星期五>計畫中的行為演出。<超級星期五>的活動,是在每週五晚間進行的身體表演、聲音、文字以及裝置型態等的共構呈現。
參與兩次的<朗讀>演出,分別為<莒光灣>以及<我們的當代藝術>。<莒光灣>所朗讀的內容是羅仕東當兵時的日記文字節錄; 而<我們的當代藝術>則是關於朋友間透過信件的種種藝術辯論。
透過與另一位藝術家李若玫的瑜伽肢體,結合出不同的敘事片段。
