《透明》選自臺北市立美術館特展《社交場》，藉由思考透明狀態的表現轉換過程，探索或拆解符號和人文關懷與地域空間相聯繫的流轉遷移，並實驗「展覽」和「表演」之間的共生關係。編舞家孫尚綺說，透明是個概念，這個概念是很單純的去試驗在生活中的物件和符號帶給人們的影響，進而反思，整理舊有的思維脈絡。

作品演出的框架是由概念文字來建立音樂、舞蹈、言說等動態的擾動，並思索表現動能和靜態生活之間的關係。展演期間，每一場表演的內容都有不同的細節設定與互動可能性，作品因而隨著時間的推進，在穿透的流動樣態中持續生成轉變。空間裡有預設的情節基底，建立表演者之間的互動密度。它不僅是編舞，也是身體形態的變形、變態，身軀和器官之間的對話。同時，在介於私密空間和大眾交際的場域中，以滲透引動的音聲節奏摸索虛實共融的無形界線，並藉由舞蹈劇場肢體的表演性，與空間中近距離依存的觀眾創造的透明而奇異的對應關係，共同思索當代世界關於共生的想像或困境。
 

Perspicuum is a selection from “ARENA,” a special exhibition at the Taipei Museum of Fine Arts that transposes the process, exploration, or dismantling of symbols; and the shift and flow of humanistic concern in connection with geographical space through the process of transforming the transparent state of contemplative expression, and by experimenting with the symbiosis between “exhibition” and “performance.” As choreographer SUN Shang-Chi says, perspicuum is a concept; this concept is quite simply to experiment with everyday objects and symbols and their influence on human beings, then further reflecting on and organizing preexisting contemplative contexts. 

The performance framework uses conceptual texts to establish a disturbance in the dynamism of music, dance, and the spoken word while contemplating the relationship between kinetic performance and static life. The content for every performance during the exhibition period vary in their setting details and interactive potential. With the progression of time, the work continues to evolve within the penetrating state of flow. Preset narrative foundations within in the space establish the interactive density between the performers. This is not only choreography but also a transfiguration and deformation of the corporeal form, a dialogue between the body and its organs. At the same time, the formless boundaries, where the virtual and the real meet, are probed through infiltrating percussive rhythms in the arena located between the private space and public intercourse. The performative limbs of dance theater create a transparent and strange correspondence in the space with the audience still in close proximity, to contemplate the imagination or conundrum of coexistence in the contemporary world.
