台北稻荷神社檔案重構計畫 |
In “Reconstruction of Taipei Inari Shrine Archives”, Chen traces evidence of the historical site of Taipei Inari Shrine (located next to The Red House in Ximen). Through investigating the history of Taipei Inari Shrine and its main shrine Anamori Inari Shrine in Tokyo, Chen discovered that both faced the fate of being torn down and relocated after the war ended. Although the main shrine in Tokyo was reconstructed in a different location, the fate of the two shrines after the war are like miniature histories of the social environment: both the colonist Japan and colony Taiwan went through the allocation of lands under different political structures. Through this work, the artist explores the complex relationship between memories of the land, national consciousness, history, and politics.

《台北稻荷神社重構計畫》由藝術家陳飛豪追溯曾建於新起街市場舊址(今台北西門紅樓旁)附近台北稻荷神社的蛛絲馬跡,並實地訪查其分靈來源的東京穴守稻荷神社以及考究相關資料,發現兩者皆在戰後面臨被拆除遷移的命運,東京的總社之後雖異地重建,但從這兩座神社戰後的命運來看,祂們彷彿就像當時社會的縮影:做為殖民母國的日本以及殖民地的台灣,都在戰後面臨不同的統治架構中的土地分配問題。藝術家藉由本作探討了土地記憶、國族意識與歷史政治間的難以釐清的複雜關係。
