五十步的空間——論拉黑子．達立夫（Rahic Talif）海洋美學的生成

The Space of Fifty Steps—On the Development of Rahic Talif’s Marine Aesthetics

本文以藝術家拉黑子．達立夫的作品〈五十步的空間〉為命題，旨在研究他所處的「家—部落」及其與自然生態環境（花東海岸）存在問題之間的關係，並探討這一關聯對其創作生活的影響。同時，通過與貧窮藝術（Arte Povera）、大地／地景藝術（land art／earth art）及生態藝術（ecological art）等藝術歷史脈絡的比較，對拉黑子．達立夫的藝術創作價值進行定位。
透過拉黑子．達立夫自2008年所創作的《颱風行動計畫》起至今，約莫16年的創作歷程為研究對象，以文獻資料分析及與藝術家本人深度訪談為研究方法，著重於理解這些作品如何在不同環境中孕育、展現出其獨特的藝術表現形式與思想體系，深入爬梳與分析他整體的藝術發展脈絡，並與其他相關環境或生態藝術思維的藝術家相互比較後，將拉黑子海洋美學的生成要素歸納出行為姿態、技術結構、造型語彙、詩性—語言與欲傳達的訊息視野等面向來認識，從而揭示其「海洋美學」的生成意涵。
最後，論述拉黑子．達立夫的「海洋美學」的藝術觀點，如何對應當前極端氣候下所造成的生態環境的變異所引發的思考及其潛在影響。並進一步闡述，拉黑子．達立夫所謂在「五十步的空間」裡「Malatamdaw／成為人」的意義。

This study takes Rahic Talif’s work, The Space of Fifty Steps, as its main subject, aiming to explore the existential relationship between the artist’s“home-tribe”(East Coast) and the natural ecological environment. It further delves into how this relationship has influenced Rahic’s creative life as an artist. In addition, it also seeks to position the artistic values of Rahic’s works by comparing his artistic practice with the historical contexts of Arte Povera, land art/earth art, and ecological art.
Adopting literature review and in-depth interviews with the artist as its research methodology, this study reviews Rahic’s approximately 16-year journey of artistic creation from his Action Project for Typhoon in 2008 to the present. It aims to understand how his works were conceived within different environments to represent his unique artistic expressions and conceptual frameworks. By thoroughly analyzing Rahic’s development as an artist and comparing it with other artists engaged in environmental or ecological art, this study identifies key elements of Rahic’s“marine aesthetics,”including behavioral features, technical structures, design rhetoric, poetic-linguistic quality, and messages he seeks to convey. These elements reveal the underlying significance of Rahic’s“marine aesthetics.”
Finally, this study expounds Rahic’s artistic perspective on“marine aesthetics,”explores what it can potentially inspire and influence in response to contemporary ecological changes caused by extreme climate conditions, and the meaning of“Malatamdaw (becoming human)”in“The Space of Fifty Steps”by Rahic Talif.
