入圍理由 Reason for Nomination

經營多時，是以探討台灣中部濁水溪出海口北岸彰化縣大城鄉台西村遭受石化工業污染問題的報導攝影為主體，並結合醫學及科學探究，抗爭紀錄片和証言劇場的綜合性佈展。出發點及創作風格平實感人，引起眾多迴響。展覽除了和台大公衛學者合作，進行科學研究以檢證污染的傷害外，亦和差事劇場合作，發展仍在進行的，由村民演出的証言劇場，展現了跨領域的社會關懷。主辦展覽的國立自然科學博物館並提出博物館能對社會作出什麼樣的貢獻和改革介入的問題，探究「自然環境與人的互動」的問題，如何才不會留於抽象思考，而是「轉化成有血有肉的具體生命情境」。作為國家級單位，策展團隊並進行展覽層面的自我反思，發表有兩篇論文。提名觀察人—林志明

Prepared for a long time, the exhibition had documentary photography at its core and investigated the petrochemical pollution in Taixi Village, which was near the northern shore of Jhuoshuei River estuary in Dacheng Township, Changhua County, in central Taiwan. At the same time, the exhibition also included medical and scientific research, documentary film, and a theatre of testimony. Its purpose and creative style was down-to-earth and moving, resonating with the general public. In addition to collaborating with public health scholars from the National Taiwan University to conduct a scientific study on the devastation caused by the pollution, a collaboration with Assignment Theatre is still on-going and develops a theatre of testimony that incorporates villagers as performers, demonstrating inter-disciplinary care for the society. The organizer, the National Museum of Natural Science, proposed the question of how a museum could contribute to the society and intervene for reformation, hoping to discuss how the issue of “the interaction between the natural environment and human beings” could be presented without being too abstract, and could be “transformed into lively, perceptible circumstances of tangible life.” As a national institution, the curatorial team also re-examined their work in the exhibition and published two essays.
