宣傳三部曲   三頻道錄像    10m02s   2018        

宣傳三部曲”為三頻道錄像裝置,取材自不同歷史時期與政權下的政治宣傳歌曲,探討國族敘事與集體記憶的操演。首段”兩百年“引用1975年美國電影”Nashville”中的愛國歌曲,其重複的旋律在當代語境中產生歷史錯置感,特別在當前中國崛起、民族主義高漲之際,更顯矛盾。第二段”榮譽的軍伕“重構日治時期台灣”雨夜花”被改編為軍國進行曲之歷史,透過韓語詮釋強化殖民經驗間的異質性。第三段”台灣同胞我的骨肉兄弟“聚焦冷戰時期中國以音樂宣傳解放台灣的敘事,其親切旋律與戰鬥語言交錯,暴露了政治情感的建構邏輯。全作以歌曲為核心媒介,呈現敵對意識形態中的情感共通性與歷史的荒謬辯證。

Propaganda Trilogy 3 channels video installation 10m02s 2018 

Propaganda Trilogy is a three-channel video installation that draws upon political propaganda songs from different historical periods and regimes, examining how national narratives and collective memory are constructed and mobilized. The first segment ”200 years“ references a patriotic song from Robert Altman’s 1975 film “Nashville”, whose repetitive melody—linking Christian devotion with national loyalty—acquires a sense of historical dislocation when heard in today’s geopolitical context, particularly amid China’s rise and resurgent nationalism. The second segment “An Honorable Imperial Service Man” reimagines the Taiwanese popular song “Rainy Night Flower”, which was repurposed during Japanese colonial rule into a military march to recruit unarmed Taiwanese laborers for the imperial army. Sung in Korean, the piece underscores the divergent interpretations of shared colonial experiences. The third segment ”Compatriots of Taiwan, my Blood Brothers” focuses on a Cold War-era Chinese anthem advocating for the “liberation of Taiwan,” in which sweet, pastoral melodies give way to militant rhetoric—revealing the performative and contradictory logic of ideological persuasion. Centered around the medium of song, the trilogy highlights the paradox of emotional resonance across opposing political systems, and reflects on the absurdities of history’s ideological constructs.

“An Honorable Imperial Service Man”, the original melody is “Rainy Night Flower” by Teng Yu-hsien.  During the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan, this song was adapted by the Japanese authorities into a march titled An Honorable Imperial Service Man (誉れの軍夫).  With lyrics by Kurihara Shiroya and performed by Kirishima Noboru, the song was used to encourage Taiwanese people to participate as military porters in support of Japan’s so-called “Holy War” (World War II).

Original lyrics: Chiu Thiam-ōng
