藝術裝置 異鄉人旅館 介紹
我們的建築環境是由甚麼組成?由誰而蓋?為誰而蓋?答案的統稱,應該就是「人類」。然而,如果我們的建材是由微生物及植物組成、如果螞蟻和蜥蜴住進了我們的房子、如果我們的建築因燕窩和蜂巢的出現而有所改變,也許我們該換個角度思考,這樣的建築環境事實上才是一種集體、多物種的成就?
異鄉人旅館企圖以後人類中心的方法,來解答這些疑問、挑戰把建築當作劃分自然和文化之間最後堡壘,這也是一次展現「極端好客」的實驗,發想來自雅克・德希達的主客理論,運用於生態脈絡並提出一種無條件的好客觀點,基於分享空間,對於所有權及住戶的階級完全無預設前提。在此,人類和其它物種、本土種及外來種、長住於此的居民和過客,都一樣受到歡迎,在這個異鄉人旅館,每位皆為異鄉人、來者皆是客。
此裝置設計成容易隨環境變化,並以在地普遍的竹子和水泥建構,其結構參考都市元素並結合有機、自由發展的概念,探索永續和綠建築的建設過程中可能衍生的問題。
佩特・伊克索,1982年生,作品主題結合建築、都會主義,並對生態有濃厚興趣。駐村期間透過對在地動植物所作的繪圖及調查,進而形塑其這次在蕭壠創作的方向。台灣為海島國家,擁有許多獨特的當地特有種,也具有較具爭議性的外來種,此作品的創作背景希望探討物種多樣性,究竟誰屬於這塊土地、誰有權力去歡迎誰、或闖入誰的土地等有趣議題。
Hotel Xenos
What constitutes the built environment? Who is it built by, and whom for? ‘Humans’ might be a generic answer. But if our building materials are made up of microorganisms and plants; if ants and lizards immediately move into our houses; if our architecture is added to and altered by swallows and wasps – must we not recognise that the resulting built environment is, in fact, a collective, multi-species achievement?
Hotel Xenos represents a post-anthropocentric approach to these questions. It is also an experiment in radical hospitality: a sharing of space without any preclusion of ownership or hierarchy of residents. Here, the human and the non-human, the endemic and the alien, are all equally welcome. At Hotel Xenos everyone is a stranger; everyone is a guest.
Built in bamboo and concrete, and intended to be given over to change and colonisation, the structure combines references to the urban with notions of the organic and the uncontrolled, problematizing ideas of sustainability and green architecture.
The work of Petter Yxell, b.1982, Sweden, combines themes of architecture, urbanism and dwelling with a keen interest in ecology as well as local flora and fauna.
