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.
