Steel F4's Travel Guide to Southern Taiwan
延續其於2016年在中壢駐村的創作,藝術家鄭亭亭為了這次的展覽訪問了四位在臺南和高雄交界處鋼鐵產業工作的移工,並請他們推薦喜歡的臺灣景點,化身成為導遊,帶領來到駁二的觀眾透過他們的視野來認識南臺灣。在展覽中,除了觀光手冊外,藝術家也透過錄像及LINE互動劇場來揭露其邀請移工受訪的真實過程,只要掃描桌上的QR Code,加入藝術家官方帳號,就可以根據劇本來扮演移工和藝術家互動,希望藉由扮演的過程,讓觀眾進到他們的鞋子裡,體會他們在異地臺灣生活的情境。
Continuing her project made in Zhongli in 2016, artist Ting-Ting Cheng interviewed four migrant workers who work in the steel industry around Tainan and Kaohsiung, asking them to share their favourite spots in the south of Taiwan, to invite the audience of PIER-II to see the island through their perspectives. In the exhibition, apart from the tour guide, Cheng also revealed the process of finding the migrant workers through video and LINE interaction. Once the audience scan the QR code located on the table to add the official account of the artist on LINE, they can play the role of the migrant workers and interact with the artist. Through the re-enacting, Cheng hopes to invite the audience to be in the shoes of the workers who contribute a lot to this country that is miles away from theirs.
