作品說明About Artworks (from Artist)

位於奈及利亞大都會拉哥斯市中心的拉迪波，是西非最大的二手汽車零件市場，市場中的零件多數來自歐洲與東亞的廢棄回收車輛。影片中一名身著傳統埃貢貢面具服飾的身影，穿梭於市場狹窄而擁擠的街道之中，並以各式收音設備探索及回饋市場的聲響。約魯巴族的「埃貢貢」是生者與祖先間的中介者，他們能聆聽不可見世界的聲音，並將其傳達給可見世界中的人們。在作品〈貨幣—感知 2：拉迪波〉中，這一靈性的即興表演實踐，成為對全球工業與經濟循環，以及最底層勞動社會的紀錄與探尋。

In the middle of the Nigerian metropolis of Lagos is Ladipo, West Africa’s largest market for used car spare parts, most of which are imported from Europe and East Asia or obtained locally from discarded cars.

A figure with a traditional Egungun masquerade makes his way through the crowded, narrow streets of the market and explores the sounds of the market with various microphones. The Egungun of the Yoruba people are intermediaries between the living.
