招牌動作 Signature Action

招牌動作 李勇志 個展
Signature Action – Lee Yung-Chih solo Exhibition

Up Up 抬起頭 Up Up 舉個手 Up Up 想個屬於你自己的招牌動作
Up Up 甩個頭 Up Up 扭一扭 Hey Come On Everybody 通通被你迷惑

Up Up 甩個頭 Up Up 扭一扭 Hey Come On Everybody 他的目光會被你掌握


暫停一秒鐘 想到了沒有 沒有什麼對錯只要切記千萬別做作
一旦找到自我 看一眼就會記得 隨波逐流可不會快樂」

如同上面蔡依林「招牌動作」的歌詞,「招牌動作」做為一種刻意被說出來的「做作」姿態,所謂「個人風格」的此地無銀三百兩,欲蓋彌彰又明知故問,「明明就很愛演」的入戲方式。

直接又簡單,沒有失手的打算,似曾相似的標誌和文字,最有把握能讓大家知道那是甚麼。所以,那到底是甚麼?

我蒐集周遭環境的圖像,可以說僅僅就是喜歡以這樣的方式去達成屬於自己的風格。我的招牌動作,那是之於現實的想像殘餘,充滿希望又接近著死亡。

我總是會把事情想得更嚴重一點,就是因為很多事情在我看來都太複雜了,於是我想要的是一種最簡單的溝通方式,像是直接「濃縮」出現成類型的果汁或調理包。角色扮演很快,一起往下跳相安無事。無論如何千萬記住,「扮演自己」並沒有太大困難。

也正是,既然如此就這樣看我吧。問我:為什麼要做這樣的傻事?「因為妳值得,寶礦力水得 」,基於這種交換的價值,招牌成了我的「代言物」,並與「代言人」完全相反,如果出包不是作品有問題,而是創作者品味有問題,那麼我要負完全責任。

“Up Up Raise your head    Up Up Raise your hand   Up Up Think of your own signature action

Up Up Fling your head   Up Up Twist a bit  Hey Come On Everybody Everyone was seduced by you
Up Up Fling your head   Up Up Twist a bit  Hey Come On Everybody   You control his sight
Pause for a second  Have you think about it  There is no right or wrong and remember don’t do anything
Once you found myself You will remember just after a glance  There will be no happiness if you follow the trend”

Similar to the above lyrics of Signature Action by Taiwanese pop singer Jolin Tsai, Signature Action as a consciously presented “pretentious” gesture, “personal style” has then become a situation when the more you tried to cover up, the more you revealed and that was something that people had already knew. It is a way to be into the character that really likes to act.  

Direct and simple, there is no intention to miss anything. Familiar signs and text, it is best to let everybody knows what was that. So, what really was that?

I collected images from my surroundings. It was merely because I like this way of working to achieve my own style. My signature action, that was the imaginative residue of the reality, full of hope yet close to death.

I always look at things more seriously, because for me things were complicated. Hence I would like to create a simplest way of communication, similar to “condensed” fruit juice or cooking pack. It is fast to play a character, nothing will happen if we jumped down together. However, there is one thing to remember, which is “to play yourself” is not hard at all.


That is, just look at me like that since if it is so. Ask me why I want to do such stupid thing? Just like this advertisement slogan “Because you deserve it”. Based on these exchange values, signboard became my “Spokeobject”, a total opposite to “Spokeperson”. If to run into problems is not because of the problem of the artwork itself, but because of the creators’ taste, then I have to be fully responsible.
