Bamboo, wood, fabric, natural materials, metal, found objects from the sea, and recycled/upcycled materials

An outdoor site-specific installation created at the Xucuogang Wetlands functioning as both a mobile museum and a field station​

​​​

This project continues Yu-Chen Wang’s ongoing research into wetlandscapes, focusing on the counterpoint between the peatlands of England and the mangrove forests of Taiwan. Through archival research, fieldwork, and cross-disciplinary exchange, it explores the interplay between the ‘hyper-local’ and the ‘global’ within the context of climate change, shifting away from anthropocentric perspectives towards the interconnected coexistence of all living things.

 

Working on site in Taoyuan, the artist develops a mobile structure that functions simultaneously as a museum and a field station. As it moves around the Xucuogang Wetlands, the installation engages with climatic and landscape conditions. The site-specific work extends to ephemeral elements such as wind, rain, and sunlight, adopting an environmental practice of ‘borrowing’ natural materials and ‘returning’ them to their original sites after the exhibition.

 

Through a series of public programmes, the space is transformed into a dynamic site of social gathering. As the work evolves through movement and relocation, it creates an experiential environment for audiences. Ultimately, the interactions between landscape, participants, and actions will inform a new film work for future international exhibitions, bringing local experience into a broader global context.​

流動的海墘 2026

 

這個計畫延續王郁媜對濕地地景的長期研究，聚焦英格蘭泥炭地與台灣紅樹林的對位關係。透過文史梳理、田野踏查與跨域交流，在氣候變遷框架下思考「超在地」與「全球」的牽引，鬆動人為中心視角，轉向自然萬物交錯共存。

​

藝術家在桃園進行現地製作，發展一座既是博物館，也是觀測站的行動裝置，於許厝港濕地至新屋溪口間遷移駐留，展開與氣候、地景的協作。現地創作延伸至風、雨、陽光等無形材料，採取天然現成物「借用」與展後「原位歸還」的環境實踐。

​

透過一系列公眾活動，將空間轉化為流動的社交場域，作品隨路徑遷移持續演化，構築出可感知的藝術經驗。最終，地景、參與者與行動的互動將發展為全新錄像作品，並於未來國際展覽中呈現，將在地經驗帶入更廣闊的全球視野。
