關於作品
About this project
厘為台灣農民慣用農地面積測量單位，為甲的百分之ㄧ，土地面積也常作為一種地名命名方式。作品以半厘為單位佔據一片區塊，玉米為總產量最高的糧食作物，也作為諸多產業的原材料，近代的栽種玉米早被高度馴化，難以在野外自然生育。試圖將人為干預視為自然的一部分，移植風景模擬一塊新生地，實現共生。
“Li” is a customary unit of measurement for agricultural land in Taiwan. The work utilizes half ‘Li’ units to occupy an area. Corn, a primary crop and industrial material, has been extensively domesticated, making it challenging to thrive naturally in the wild. We attempt to integrate human intervention as an aspect of nature by transplanting landscapes to simulate a new territory and cultivating a sense of symbiosis.

三古三土藝術計畫 Sangusantu Project臺灣 / Taiwan
「三古三土」是一個根基於臺中烏日的藝術計畫，由藝術家陳品卉與在地農夫廖洛堯所共同合作。專注在周遭的土地、作物與人的互動，實驗內容依氣候、作物成長不定期的發生。
Sangusantu is a collaborative art project rooted in Wuri Taichung, organized by artist Pin Hui Chen and local farmer Luo Yao Liao. Focusing on the interaction between the surrounding land, crops, and people, the experiments vary according to the climate and the growth of crops.
