藝術家李勇志長期關注工業地景之下的亞洲都會生活空間,其過去的創作擅長使用嘲諷、挪用及材質轉化的手法,將都市空間中四處可見的招牌、廣告及標誌作為其創作的素材。

《過期霓虹》系列,以現今不再流行的霓虹燈招牌作為主要的「臨摹」對象。透過錄像及透明輸出影像等媒材,企圖揣摩及再現曾於1980年代亞洲所普遍流行的霓虹燈招牌。李勇志針對國美館的空間創作此系列作品,對於已逝技術的哀悼,同時亦是針對「過期未來主義」的描繪。該系列創作不僅是歷史圖像的蒐集及拼貼(collage),同時亦是可觸及個人記憶及經驗,介於虛實交錯之間的弔詭再現。

Artist Lee Yung-Chih has long been interested in Asian urban living spaces amid industrial landscapes. Lee’s past works convert billboards, advertisements, and signs as creative components through approaches including ridicule, appropriation, and material transformation.

Lee’s Neo n’ Old series “copies” out-of-fashion neon billboards. By using mediums such as videos and transparent output images, Lee attempts to imitate and reconstruct the neon billboards that were seen across Asia in the 1980s. Neo n’ Old mourns past technologies and and illustrates “Futurism Out-of-date” For the artist, the work is not only the gathering and collaging of historical images but also references personal memories and experiences, a paradoxical redisplay of fiction intertwined with reality.
