The Traveller – A Body in Transition
旅人 - 往返的身體
阿部乳坊 Abe Nyubo
「穿上衣裳的真理覺得事實繃得太緊。在想像中，她自在地活動。」
-摘自泰戈爾《漂鳥集》
漂浮於水面的旅人彷彿剛從另一個世界降落。光線映照著他的軀體，倒影在水中形成第二個自己，虛實交疊。觀眾繞行其側，能感受到他似乎仍在前行 — 穿越空氣、穿越雲端、穿越我們所熟悉的現實邊界。此作品以「身體」為感知介面，探討人類在數位與真實之間的流動與重疊，回應「雲端光景」對當代存在狀態的提問：在虛與實之間，我們的身體究竟安放於何處？
阿部乳坊 (Abe Nyubo) 出生於日本新潟縣，畢業於日本金澤美術工藝大學美術科雕塑組，以及國立臺灣藝術大學雕塑學系研究所，現以台灣為創作據點，對身體的擴張性及其象徵意義深感興趣，並探討數位空間與現代社會中的「擴張身體」及「可能世界」等主題。

"Truth, when put on its dress,
finds the facts too tight.
In imagination she moves at ease."
— Rabindranath Tagore, Stray Birds
The traveller floating on the water appears as if he has just descended from another world. Light illuminates his body, while his reflection forms a second self upon the surface, where reality and illusion overlap. As viewers circle around him, they sense that he is still moving forward — through air, through clouds, and beyond the boundaries of the reality we know. Using the body as an interface of perception, the work explores the fluid overlapping of the digital and the real, responding to the Cloudscape theme by asking: between virtual and reality, where does our body truly belong?
Abe Nyubo, born in Niigata, Japan, graduated from the Sculpture Department of Kanazawa College of Art and later from the Graduate Institute of Sculpture at the National Taiwan University of Arts. Now based in Taiwan, he is deeply interested in the expansion of the body and its symbolic meanings, exploring themes such as the “extended body” and “possible worlds” within digital space and contemporary society.
