氣候危機、能源災害、人類世的幻想曲、昆蟲飲食生存的科幻寓言。
白蟻為適應生態的驟變，迫使得飲食習慣開始改變，將目光轉向人造電纜線成為新的飲食對象。 幽暗蟻道裡的潮濕蟲餐廳，樂手正彈奏著烹煮的樂曲，劊子手正處理著料理(肉票)，大展纜線三吃的廚藝。 一樁替生態之神進行的獻祭，也是向人類報復的行刑。 這是一則昆蟲對氣候災難想像的未來飲食寓言夢，還是一樁穿著蟻人裝啖飲人類的實境餵食秀。 Climate crisis, energy disasters, the fantasy of the Anthropocene, and a sci-fi fable of insect diets. To adapt to sereve ecological changes brought about by climate change, "termites" have shifted their dietary habits, turning their attention to artificial cables as a new food source. In the damp, shadowy ant tunnels, insect restaurants feature musicians playing cooking melodies while butchers handle the food (meat portions), showcasing their culinary skills with cable-based dishes. This serves both as a sacrificial offering to the gods of ecology and an act of revenge against humanity. Is this a fable of insects imagining a future diet in the face of climate disaster, or a reality show where ant-men in disguise savor on humans through a feeding spectacle? |

ZHANG XU Zhan 張徐展
b. 1988 畢業於臺北藝術大學新媒體藝術研究所。現生活和工作於台北、台灣。 張徐展以動畫與錄像裝置為創作核心，長期探索以動畫擴展觀影經驗的各種可能。他擅長揉合擴延電影、實驗動畫、裝置、大型多頻道投影與雕塑物件。出身於新莊百年紙紮家族「新興糊紙店」，承襲靈厝、靈異紙娃、紙糊神獸等精緻手藝，作品常見奇異、怪誕的影像擴展皆圍繞於個人之於社會經驗的謬察、家族紙紮記憶與技藝，呈現在文化流動中的狀態思考；內容擅以結合各式當代生活經驗，假以一種荒謬、怪誕的影像包覆，討論關於存在的腐朽，以及那從未結束的狂歡與寂寞。 Graduated from Taipei National Art University New Media Art Master. Now live and work in Taipei, Taiwan. His artistic practice centers on animation and video installation, continuously exploring the expansion of cinematic experiences through experimental animation, multi-channel projections, and sculptural objects. Coming from a century-old paper-crafting family in Sinjhuang, the "Hsin Hsin Paper Offering Store," Zhang Xu Zhan inherits the delicate craftsmanship of making paper effigies, spirit houses, and mythical paper creatures used in religious rituals and funerals. His works often feature surreal and grotesque imagery, reflecting on personal and societal experiences, his family’s paper-crafting heritage, and cultural transformation. He blends contemporary life experiences, using absurd and bizarre visuals to explore themes of decay, perpetual celebration, and solitude. |
