本能燈箱 #1

Signage of Reflex #1


light box, text, acrylic pen

51.5 x 51.5 x 62 cm each

Signage of Reflex is a series of 8 eye-catching light boxes written Hide n' Suck. A combination with hand-drawn text, referencing to Chupa Chups as a symbol for calming purpose. While 'sucking' is one of eight primitive reflexes at birth, the artist explores this medium as a comforting aid in response to her sleeping disorder. With this series serving as a lighthouse that can be displayed in-situ, Ng reminds the viewers how social values dictate our everyday behavior. Is it a taboo or is it our mental barrier?

《本能燈箱》裝置來自 《Hide n' Suck》系列, 以手寫字配搭奪目的顔色,引用了珍寶珠的慰籍本質。舌的吸允是哺乳類出生時八大條件反射動作之一,而藝術家以探索這個媒介來抒緩自己的睡眠失調。當作品有如燈塔般遠處展出,藝術家提醒了觀衆社會價值如何主宰我們的日常行爲。到底那是禁忌還是情感障礙?
