2010 「MimiLucy - Never Give Up」

MimiLucy was launched in 2009. It is a serial created by CHANG, Huei-Ming and LIAO, Chi-Yu. This serial is centered around two fictional characters: Mimi and Lucy. Like any heroes/heroies in action movies, they go on all kinds of missions.

The foremost plan for Mimi and Lucy is to set out on a space adventure. Anticipated, they start off. The earth cherished and loved by them so much before has been left behind, becoming smaller and smaller. Waste or grand, no matter what they see, Mimi and Lucy are always high in spirit. They venture into every unknown terrain in front of them. In the meanwhile, they ponder: how far can we get; what on earth do we have to advance into the cosmos with no fear? That thinking involves various questions about human’s life and environments and intertwines with the fate of Mimi and Lucy’s adventure.

The work has been produced in the following forms: digital photography, sculptures, and single/multi-channel video. With such a wide-ranged forms to record and to express, the authors present a profound dimension of this journey. A huge amount of images and videos available on the internet and mass media have been adapted with editing in this work. They are transformed to construct this space journey, or the spectacles and imaginations of the so-called “dreamland.”


MimiLucy成立於2009年，為一系列的創作計劃。創作者為張暉明（CHANG, Huei-Ming）與廖祈羽（LIAO, Chi-Yu）。此系列計畫的基礎，來自創造出來的兩個虛擬人物：Mimi與Lucy，他們有著如電影主角般的各項任務。

首發計畫的主軸環繞在Mimi與Lucy前進太空冒險旅行的過程，他們以一種被期待的姿態出發。曾經如此熱愛的土地，現在在他們的身後，越顯渺小；離開之後的Mimi與Lucy，無論眼前是荒蕪還是壯闊，總是精神奕奕，迎向每一個未知的領域。但同時也在思索：我們究竟可以到達多遠？何以必須勇敢地前進宇宙冒險？牽引出種種關於人的生活狀態與處境問題，緊緊與這兩個人冒險的命運相扣。

作品形式分成幾個部份：平面影像輸出、雕塑裝置，以及單／多頻道錄像。藉由全方位的紀錄與表達方式，來傳達這趟旅程的豐富面向；其中運用了大量擷取自網際網路、大眾媒體的圖像及影像，經過重新剪輯合成，建構出這趟太空旅行，或者稱之為“夢境”的風景與想像。
