在睡與醒之間：模糊的時間-黃青藍創作論述

Abstract

將生活經驗加以轉化,本篇論文以「夢與醒之間」為主題,目的為探討人在 將睡將醒之間的模糊曖昧狀態。 睡眠,是每一個人每天都會經歷的過程,其中「夢境」又占睡眠一大部份。 「夢境」的內容象徵著什麼意義?這或許是許多人感興趣的內容。但即使不同的 人在夢境出現一樣的事物,也不一定能代表對於他們有相同的意義。而本篇論文 探討的是普遍的情況,可以適用於大多數的人。故從睡眠過程的「時間」開始著 手,不論是清醒到睡去,還是從睡眠中甦醒的經歷,或失眠或半夢半醒,更甚至 於被一聲巨響驚醒的經驗。 本研究內容圍繞在意識遊走在夢境與現實之間的睡眠過程,藉此探討此過程 的時間性。其中以科學和心理學的角度,切入生理和心理在睡眠過程的不同狀態, 並將這些現象融入畫作中。研究是什麼樣的感知刺激,決定著將處於睡眠中的人 喚醒。筆者藉由描繪人們意識遊走在夢境與現實之間的睡眠過程,讓記錄睡與醒 時間性的作品呈現更多面貌。 本研究希望藉由此次創作的系列作品與論文論述,來表現人們意識遊走在夢 境與現實之間的過程,夢境與現實環境相互影響的狀態,以及「睡著」和「清醒」 之間的時間性。

The theme of this research is “hypnagogia”. It aims to transform real life experiences by exploring the fuzzy half-asleep, half-awake states. Sleep is a process that everyone experiences on a daily basis, and “dreams” are a major component of sleep. But what is the significance of the content of these “dreams”? This might be intriguing to many people. However, even if different people dream of the same thing, it does not necessarily carry the same meaning for them. Since the paper explores the general situation that is applicable to most people, it first starts with the concept of “sleep timing” in an attempt to explore the experiences of falling asleep, awakening from sleep, insomnia or being half asleep, as well as suddenly being awakened out of sleep by loud noises. This research focuses on the process of sleep where consciousness wanders between dreams and reality, exploring the temporality in this process. The paper looks into various physical and mental states during sleep from a scientific and psychological perspective, and integrates these phenomena into paintings. It also studies what kinds of perceptual stimulation awaken a sleeper from sleep. The author presents a wider variety of art related to the temporality in hypnagogia by depicting people’s consciousness wandering between dreams and reality during the process of sleep. Through a series of works and theses, this research aims to portray the process of people’s consciousness wandering between dreams and reality, the state of interaction between dreams and reality, as well as the temporality between “half-asleep” and “half-awake”.
