時光鐵道迴旋

Time On the Circle Line

2010 台鐵松山車站 Songshan Railway Station 

---

​舊日的景色在隆隆作響的鐵軌下沉睡，河流風光在曲流處放緩腳步，像是在尋找記憶，又像是在端詳穿梭於都市中的現代心靈。

以鐵盒玩具為意象，試圖喚起既懷舊又童稚的記憶。以光華號及阿里山小火車為想像的出發點，鐵軌、木椅、站牌，創造既熟悉又具陌異感的空間氛圍。沿路立著刻有「希望」、「祝福」、「健康」等地名的站牌，象徵人們經由自己的期許，將夢想投射到不同的車站彼端。

在這些鐵軌中，其中一道通往亞特蘭提斯，另一道通往塔圖因，這兩條特殊的軌道象徵孩童們純真的價值觀。通往塔圖因的軌道微微往上昂起，上頭設有一座流星狀座椅，往天空飛行的意象；而往亞特蘭提斯的軌道上沿路將設置三張座椅，依序是古老的木頭椅、皮椅和貝殼狀的座椅，皆裝有連接器，象徵時間推移，由現實逐漸進入理想，藉此引發人們的想像。


The scenery of bygone days sleeps deep beneath the rumbling train tracks. The river slows its pace at the bends, 
as if in search of memories or the time to make measure of the modern minds traveling through the city.

The imagery of a steel box toy invokes nostalgic memories of childhood. Using the Kung Hwa Express and Alishan Mountain Railway as imaginary starting points, tracks, wooden chairs and station plaques create a familiar yet strange spatial atmosphere. Along the way, station plaques with locations such as hope ,blessing ,health can be found, symbolizing how people project their dreams unto different stations into the distance through their expectations.

Of these tracks, one leads to Atlantis and the other to Tatooine. These two unique tracks symbolize the pure values of children. The tracks leading to Tatooine arc gently up, with a chair shaped like a shooting star, to provide an image of one flying off into the sky. Three chairs will be placed upon the tracks leading to Atlantis; first an ancient wooden chair, then a leather chair and shell shaped chair in sequence. All are equipped with connectors that symbolize the transition of time, invoking people's imagination as it shifts from reality gradually into an ideal.
