「起醮」是台灣廟宇文化中建廟的開端,拚場團隊以此為名,開啟轉型正義主題系列第一個作品,紀念台灣在解嚴前後,爭取民主自由的六位自焚者。

藝術家在展廳內以鷹架搭建一個類似金爐的巨型建物,一片漆黑中僅見紅色綠色的微弱燈光,宛如進入異空間。一位舞者在黑暗中漫舞,彷彿自焚者遺族在此與已逝先人對話。

李文政說,「這個展覽最重要的目標之一,是有關於你如何做一個自由人,一群人如何用他們的生命去抵抗政府和國家的權威。」

Khí-tsiò is a ceremony in Taiwanese temple culture performed to begin consecration of a temple. Piànn-tiûnn used this title to inspire, Khí-tsiò, the first in a series of work about Transitional Justice to commemorate six martyrs who immolated themselves in the fight for democratic freedoms after the lifting of Martial Law.

The artists used scaffolding to build a giant architectural structure inside the exhibition hall. The structure resembles an incense burner; illuminating the darkness with faint red and green lights that transport audiences to a different dimension. A lone performer dancing slowly in the darkness evokes a conversation between the immolated martyrs and survivors of the deceased.

According to LEE Wen-Chung, “A major goal was to consider how you conduct yourself as one who interprets freedom; and how these men gave their lives to fight back against the authority of their country and government.”
