展覽介紹

本展回顧坂本龍一（1952–2023）自2000年代以來開創性的藝術實踐，呈現他如何透過聲音、影像、數位技術與真實世界的結合，突破媒介界線，形塑當代感知經驗的新語彙。展覽集結七組大型裝置作品，並精選相關文獻資料，包括1999年歌劇《LIFE》的檔案選粹，回溯坂本龍一對生命、環境、科技與「共生」的思考，以及其創作逐步走向裝置藝術的脈絡。展覽呈現他與多位藝術家長期的合作，包括高谷史郎、真鍋大度、卡斯滕．尼古拉、阿比查邦．韋拉斯塔古與Zakkubalan等。本展聚焦他如何將音樂從時基藝術形式拓展為可在空間中被「看見」與「感知」的立體經驗，並透過水、霧、氣象數據與電磁波等自然與科技媒介，持續探索人類感知的邊界，也呼應其晚近對「裝置音樂」的探索不輟。邀請觀眾重新感受坂本龍一在音樂／聲響與視覺文化之間建立的跨領域影響力；其藝術實踐不僅拓展了當代聲響的視野，也提出了感知與聆聽世界的新方式。Ryuichi Sakamoto︱seeing sound, hearing time surveys the pioneering artistic practice of the late composer and artist Ryuichi Sakamoto (1952–2023) from the 2000s onward. The exhibition illuminates how Sakamoto transcended the boundaries of sound, image, digital technology, and the real world to shape a new vocabulary for contemporary perceptual experience. Featuring seven large-scale installations alongside selected archival materials, including materials related to the 1999 opera LIFE, the exhibition traces Sakamoto’s reflections on life, the environment, technology, and "symbiosis," as well as the development of his practice toward installation art. The exhibition also showcases his long-term collaborations with artists such as Shiro Takatani, Daito Manabe, Carsten Nicolai, Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Zakkubalan. At its core, the exhibition examines how Sakamoto expanded music from a time-based art form into a spatial experience that can be seen and perceived. Through natural and technological media including water, fog, meteorological data, and electromagnetic waves, his works continually probe the limits of human perception, while echoing his relentless exploration of "Installation Music" in his later years. It invites audiences to rediscover Sakamoto’s interdisciplinary influence across music, sound, and visual culture. His practice not only broadened the horizons of contemporary sound, but also proposed new ways of perceiving and listening to the world.
