靜謐之力──《自轉》的以小博大
文／張惠蘭（東海大學美術系助理教授）
《自轉》是林信榮為成功大學新建的社科院大樓所創作的公共藝術作品，在形式上採用了簡潔的形式與單純的媒材語言，與周圍的環境空間形成視覺場所，也在空間中產生起凝縮、維繫作用，透過與建物「方圓」的對話，使社科院的大樓與廣場成為一個特定的造形空間，以一種沉靜與永恆的球體形式來表現社會科學的內涵；重視環境的整體機能性和謙和性，構築具有象徵性的個人時間感受以及自然的場域，延展出無限的想像空間。##ReadMore##
由弧線構成的《自轉》作品主體，採謙虛的姿態融入社科院，將周遭建物原有的直線造形與色彩的元素，透過作品簡潔的造形語彙輕盈的轉換成靜謐中蘊涵能量的場所，並將其所想表達的理念透過詩的形式傳達給觀者，賦予空間新的閱讀方式。作品的材質結合了銅與不鏽鋼的處理，試圖將時間感凝聚其上，觀賞者可以感受到古老卻具有未來感的語彙，建構出屬於觀眾與作品交流的可能，而這裡所謂的交流並非指如遊樂場般的直接互動，而是詩意與想像。
此作也可追溯林信榮於1992年在西班牙所創作的《反省》為初始，造形以人類頭部建構「思想」為主軸；形式上解構實體頭形、反置側臉意象，將其重新建構為思考的符號，形構虛形與量體之依存，包含儒家的「反思」論述，佛家的「自觀」，以及道家的「陰陽」、「虛實」等意象，構成自我對話的同時亦造成內與外對應的衝擊；就個人這些年來在台灣所接觸的公共藝術的經驗看來，社科院的《自轉》的難能可貴處，在環繞公共性議題的公轉運行無礙的同時，延續與保有林信榮作為藝術家本身創作的自轉能量。
The Quiet Power of Silence―Achieving More With Less by “Rotation”

“Rotation” is the public artwork installed at new College of Social Science building at National Cheng Kung University ( NCKU ) . Clean forms and a simple media language are used. The visual area is formed from space of the surrounding environment and compression and maintenance effects are produced in the space. The rectangular/circular dialogue with the building turns the College of Social Science plaza into a specially formed space with the silent and eternal spherical shape revealing the inner nature of social science. Emphasis is placed on the overall functionality and harmony of the environment. The construction possesses symbolic sense of individual time and natural fields to reveal boundless imaginary space.
The curved lines work “Rotation” assumes a modest posture to blend into the College of Social Science. Through the clean vocabulary of shapes of the work, the linear form and color elements present in the surrounding architecture is lightly transformed into a tranquil field of latent energy. The concepts that are intended to be expressed pass though a poetic form for conveyance to the viewer giving the space a new reading. The work combines treated copper and stainless steel materials in an attempt to collect the sense of time upon it. The viewer can gain a sense of the ancient past as well as the future which creates a possibility of exchange between viewers and the work. The exchange that occurs is not the direct interaction of entertainment but poetry and imagination.
The beginnings of this work can be traced back to Lin Hsin-Jung’s 1992 work “Reflection” in Spain. The form of a human head was used to establish a central axis of thought. By deconstructing the shape of the head in form and inverting the face profile, the symbol of thought is reconstructed to form a virtual and material interdependence which brings to mind Confucian self-reflection thinking, Buddhist self-identification, Taoist concepts of yin-yang and emptiness-fullness. During the formation of self-dialogue, corresponding inward and outward collisions are created. Out of all the public art I have personally come into contact with over the years, the College of Social Science’s “Rotation” is a rare achievement. By revolving unimpeded in the midst of public issues, it continues to preserve the self-rotating energy of Lin Hsin-Jung’s works as an artist.
