展覽簡介
我的良知是我的旗幟，精神沒有牆壁阻擋，世界就是我的家……
『死亡密室的勝利』將啟發我們去反省對於遊民的歧視與排斥，以及將遊民視為「社會有機廢物」的冷漠態度。
瑞卡多‧桑雀茲‧馬德里為墨西哥藝術家，2008年跟隨情色藝術節《AVERSIONS》策展人萊蒂西亞‧馬丁內斯的腳步，致力推動藝術及言論的自由權，並熱心協助新生代藝術家。過去六年來，他也以獨立文化經營者的身分，成功策畫了許多案子。
『死亡密室的勝利』是馬德里此次來台於當代藝術館展出的裝置計畫，內容包括三大元素：一是馬德里於2010年冬季奧運期間，以溫哥華街頭遊民為對象所拍攝的實驗性短片，名為「海斯汀體驗」。二是以「貧窮藝術」為主題的錄像裝置，使用的素材全為生活中回收的材質資源，目的是讓人們反省、檢討資本主義所帶來的無限消費與過度浪費。三是藝術家於開展前一周抵達台北後就地完成的複合媒材裝置作品「世界衣物」。為了本次展出，馬德里將進入臺北市區的角落觀察、探訪街友，以墨西哥帶來的乾淨衣物交換街友身上的穿著，並將之轉換為美術館展品的裝置元素。
『死亡密室的勝利』試圖從不同的觀想角度，運用各種不同的象徵性元素來解構當代社會對於都會遊民的負面和刻板印象。透過展覽，藝術家挑戰社會上的每個成員和機構，質疑他們不約而同歧視遊民，導致了遊民被社會邊緣化，甚至被社會驅逐的普遍現象。藝術家認為人們之所以將遊民視為「社會有機廢物」，主要是受到了美國資本主義文化將身體美學與社會行為刻版化的長程影響。當美國的價值觀變成了世界各國判斷的基準，不僅象徵了資本主義制度的勝利，更嚴重的是，它變成用來質疑甚至否定社會現實及人文多樣存在的武器。
馬德里藉由作品呈現另一種思維，並驅使我們去反省：那些我們曾經相信的價值，是否隨著時間的消逝而逐漸被遺忘？希望能夠挑起民眾對於遊民議題的敏感神經，也能促成遊民生活品質的改變，期許他們能夠從新融入這個社會，並被社會所接納。
My conscience is my flag, no walls to my mind, the world has become my house…
Reflecting on the marginalization of homeless people, this project provokes us to view them as "social organic trash".
Ricardo Sanchez Madrid is a Mexican artist. Who directed Filias “Erotic Art Festival” during 2008 with the curator Leticia Martínez de León, this festival promoting art and freedom of expression.
The exhibition “The Victory Over the Dead Room” has three main bases. The first one is the experimental video “A Taste of Hastings”, directed by Madrid in Vancouver, Canada, filmed prior to the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
The second element of the sample contains the video aforementioned within the installation with a focus on art povera, which uses recyclable and waste materials,thus creating conceptual reflection about unrestrained consumerism generated by capitalism in our lives, and the phenomena arising as a result of an industrialized fouled society. Finally he arrivedin Taipei a week earlier to produce the installation “Cloths Around the World”, which heproduced in-situ to the Museum, thus getting into poverty locations of the city, just as he has done in other parts of the world, but now it will be Taiwan; under the eyes of “Madrid”reflecting on death, which is not very far from our reality.
Observing, speaking with the homeless, and exchanging their clothes that he brings from Mexico. With this exchanged elements he will produce a sculpture which be part of his exhibition at MOCA.
Ricardo Sanchez Madrid seeks to look at from another perspective, by working various symbolic elements; “Deconstructing” the way that a “homeless” person seems to the of the society eyes, the subsequent message of Madrid is questioning: How as they are seen through the eyes of the social system, thus viscerally turning them into an object of waste or “social organic trash”.
He compels us to reflect on values that are becoming forgotten with the passage of time. The project encourages a deeper reflection on the question of “homelessness”, while rethinking it in so to achieve a better change in the lives of homeless people, even in our lives and finally their reintegration into society, or the reintegration of the society to the humanist way.
