鏟子超人攝影展:災民自己成為超人,光復一年見證重生與記憶

Quick Look

光復災難週年攝影展《鏟子超人》呈現災後重建景象:泥漿清除、商店復業、創意產品誕生,同時記錄佛祖街時間凍結的殘景與誦經器超度亡靈,探討愛與彎下腰的力量,呼籲保留災區記憶而非急於抹去。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

光復地區曾遭堰塞湖決堤導致嚴重泥石流災害,造成廣泛破壞與人員傷亡。災後一年,重建工作部分完成,商店復業,但部份區域如佛祖街仍保持災後原狀,成為特殊景觀。

第二次回來,拍到的是災民自己成為超人

三百個明天過去了。「鏟子超人」受邀參加馬太鞍部落一年一度的豐年祭,回到光復。故人重逢。淚水與汗水拭去了,劫後餘生的笑容回到街上。果然,泥漿不見了,家一點一點鏟回了,八成商店重新開門。不過,事情沒有這麼簡單:街道乾淨了,人的心沒有那麼快乾!有人用所剩無幾的積蓄,有人借錢重新開店:「做就是了,做到哪裡算哪裡,就是要活下去。」這句話很台灣,不是什麼偉大的宣言,就是明天晨起照樣拉起鐵門,該煮的煮,該賣的賣,該還的錢慢慢還......。

更有人將計就計,開起「光復,鏟冰室」,賣起「鏟子超人的剉冰」:一盤白色的小冰丘,用一把鏟子形狀的湯匙,一鏟又一鏟,鏟出了花生,鏟出了芋頭,也鏟出了一顆顆紅豆。這是光復災後,開創出系列的文創商品——「鏟子超人的湯匙」、「鏟子超人的冰品」等。曾經鏟走泥濘的鏟子,如今也鏟出新生活的新滋味。

請繼續往下閱讀...

如同攝影家所下的註腳:「第一次來,我拍的是鏟子超人;第二次回來,我拍到的,是災民自己成為超人。」從一無所有,重新活下去,本身就是一種超人的勇氣。那是對「絕望」最深沈、也最有力量的回答。不是喊出希望,而是——明天,我還活著,好好的。

走進佛祖街,那裡時間沒有走

唯一令人屏息的,是走進佛祖街——那裡,時間沒有走。一間間屋子,在灰色與晦暗中凝結,凍結成一件件「裝置藝術」:屋內的家具,屋外的機車,都還停留在原來的位置;層層裹覆的泥漿,將家具與機車緊緊黏合,乾硬後塑造成「泥機一體」。只是,這樣的藝術,寧願一輩子都不要看到,那是世界末日降臨的景象。

就在毛骨悚然之際,若有若無地,聽到一聲聲誦經:「南無阿彌陀佛……南無阿彌陀佛……南無阿彌陀佛……。」微弱到不行,雞皮疙瘩起了滿片。循著斷斷續續的聲音,終於看見一個真實的「存在」——一只懸掛在屋樑上的誦經器,默默地超度著19位亡靈。風吹過空屋,經聲沒有停。

那一刻,我們不禁要問:「鏟子超人」救災可以又快又好,政府的重建為什麼如此緩慢?但或許,我們可以換一個角度想像。如果有些地方,例如佛祖街,已經無法回到從前,那麼,是否可以不急著將它抹去、鏟平?是否可以把這片災區原貌保留?讓它成為一座記住堰塞湖災難的博物館;同時,也成為一座以災難為主題的攝影與藝術館?因為大自然從來不說話,也不與人爭辯。它只是把人類不願面對的問題,在時間到了的時候,推到我們眼前。

其實,風吹了一年,太陽曬了一年,雨也下了一年。佛祖街的土地,已然形成另一種新的樣貌:「陌生」的樣貌。那裡曾經是溫暖的家園,是綠油油的田園;災後,卻被厚厚的泥漿覆蓋。泥漿從潮濕到風乾,再從風乾到龜裂;如今,龜裂的縫隙裡長出了雜草,泥地上也出現一個個圓形小洞,水棲生物已在其中呼吸、棲息。生命沒有等待重建,它總是在廢墟裡,尋找下一個可以開始的地方。

替不能說話的說話,替被遺忘的留下證詞

而攝影,也許,正是在這裡,有了它神聖的使命——不是替災難善後拍攝美化的照片,而是替不能說話的說話,替被遺忘的留下證詞。照片於是化為故事,故事又連結彼此;而觀看,不再只是觀看。當不同的人站在同一幅影像前,我們或許會第一次明白:一場災難,不只改變了土地,也重新排列了人與人之間的關係。陌生人可以成為彼此的家人;不同生命經驗的人,也可能因為一張照片、一個故事,在彼此心裡找到連結,產生共鳴。

災難摧毀了家園,卻也讓我們重新看見「愛」的力量。

林聲為這次展覽給了一個標題:「愛,所以我彎下腰。」這句話,也許正是洪水退下後,留給我們最寶貴的一個認知。因為愛,不一定站得很高;真正的愛,往往是彎下腰——彎下腰,去扶起一個陌生人;彎下腰,去聆聽一個被遺忘的故事;彎下腰,去凝視那些我們曾經不願意看的傷口。

攝影,替不能說話的說話,替被遺忘的留下證詞。(作者提供)

值此光復災難週年之際,邀請你與家人、朋友一起走進這場「鏟子超人」攝影展。也請你彎下腰來看看:起初,也許你看到的只是一張照片;穿過照片,你會看見一場災難;穿過災難,你會看見一群人;穿過那些人的故事,你最終可能會看見——你自己。

林聲的鏡頭,也許真正要帶我們穿越的,不只是影像,而是自己的心。因為泥巴終究會乾,新聞終究會退。但願人的良知,不要退潮。只有當我們願意彎下腰,世界才會重新站起來。

The Taipei City Cultural Affairs Bureau’s launch of a Van Gogh cultural tour aroused doubts, and Councilor Wu Xindai called for the integration of local art

The Taipei City Cultural Affairs Bureau launched the "Cultural Tour: Van Gogh", which placed Van Gogh's paintings at 20 cultural spots, raising questions. Taipei City Second District Taiwan Councilor candidate Wu Xindai pointed out that the city government should combine the works of local artists such as Chen Chengbo, rather than just borrowing international IP to create crowds. She emphasized that cultural activities should allow tourists to remember Taipei's own history and cultural stories. Using the successful case of Kaohsiung City as a comparison, she advocated that international IP should be the entrance rather than replace the local cultural identity.
