9. LIN Yuxin 林雨歆

LIN Yuxin is a visual designer and installation artist, currently pursuing an MFA at the City University of Hong Kong. Her creative practice spans a variety of media, including installation, video, and performance, rather than adhering to a single material or form. Through these mediums, she explores the social issues arising from the tension between local culture and modernization, as well as the diverse psychological states of individuals navigating a changing environment. Often incorporating natural elements such as sand and stones, she seeks to evoke a simple, accessible artistic experience that resonates with viewers on an intuitive level.

林雨歆是視覺設計師與裝置藝術家,目前就读于香港城市大學MFA。她的作品不局限於使用同種材料與形式,裝置、影像、行為表演都在她的創作範圍内。通過這些媒介她探索着本土文化與現代化沖突所引發的社會問題,以及環境變化下人們的不同心理狀態。自然事物例如沙子、石頭等是她經常使用的,她希望這些日常之物能給予人們簡單易懂的藝術感受。

Title: 傍海 SEASIDE

Artist: LIN Yuxin

Form:  Sound Installation

SEASIDE

The Hokkien people live by the sea, where faith, adventure, childhood, and separation memories drift with the waves and sea breeze. Seaside is composed of three installation pieces: Childhood by the Sea, Gaze Across, and Behind the Waves. Each installation reflects the artist’s understanding and emotional connection to Hokkien oceanic culture, shaped by their past experiences. Through mechanized movements that generate a noisy soundscape, the work explores the complex, intertwined emotions of the Hokkien people, shaped by generations of migration and continuous cultural evolution.

傍海

閩南人依海而生,海浪包裹著情緒輕輕翻滾,是冒險精神,信仰,是童年,也是離別。傍海由三部分裝置組成《海邊的童年》、《對望》與《海浪之後》,幾個不同的裝置分別代表著藝術家過往經歷中對閩南海洋文化的理解與情感。通過機械化的運動製造出噪音音景,闡述著代代迁徙的閩南人们不断交织著的復雜感受。
