《Spatial Reality》Trolltunga, Norway Version

Chang-rong Lin - Taiwan

      This work is the second version of Spatial Reality, reimagined at Trolltunga in Norway, and adapted to the current conditions. It explores the existential relationship between humans and space, composed of polar plants, time, ice, mist, people, light, cold, and temperature. Through a temporary installation of light lines, it evokes reality and imagination, presented in a minimal manner on the cliffs of a deep mountain canyon. A beam of light disrupts the calm, misty landscape, resembling the extreme cold environment, appearing and disappearing like mist. The pure, stark white light embodies the state of this frigid setting.  
     The creative process of the work involved a round-trip hike of 27 kilometers from the parking lot at the base of the mountain to Trolltunga, taking a strenuous 14 hours. During the hike, one could easily get lost in the thick mist and traverse rugged mountainous terrain, including streams, creeks, large boulders, mud pits, and marshes. The cliff edge is filled with a variety of soft polar plants.
    At night, the cliffs of the deep mountain canyon are vast and silent. The poetic power of this environment and its profound relationship with time invite us to delve deeper into spatial consciousness. A simple beam of light creates an atmosphere that articulates the theme: space as a body, where humans immerse themselves and perceive the authenticity of the place. This authenticity arises from the interaction between the individual and the characteristics, essence, and atmosphere of the environment. The cold, steady presence stretches from the cliff edge to the sky, allowing different imaginative spaces to intersect and coexist with the real world.
