本展為 HONG × RIJKSAKADEMIE 國際駐學計畫成果發表。
許哲瑜的創作時以家庭記憶、社會事件與歷史下的生命個體為作品元素，如曾接受手術分離的連體嬰、過世的祖母家屋、「白米炸彈客」的個人回憶與陰謀事件「江南案」犯罪現場重建等，這些在時間中逐漸流逝的種種被提取至當下，透過建模動畫、錄像與裝置，在變異的虛構敘事中搬演真實，創造以死亡為基調，毀壞後重生的虛實交逢地帶，以此直探集體與個人記憶的建構與觀看方式。「災變論」展覽由許哲瑜與陳琬尹共同創作，自過往的關注上，更進一步從神經系統與外在世界的關係探討出發，將身體視為外在世界的模擬器，假想人體經由神經系統將外在感知反應至身體內部，藝術家將其比擬為對現實的虛構，透過3D掃描與虛擬實境，以多頻道影像裝置，建構在承受現實的災難之後，一個被放逐於時間之外，卻再現現實感知的精神性空間，以此建構另類的「災變論」，重新探索靈魂、肉身與災難現實間的關係。
展覽延續與刑案掃描團隊的長期合作，從數位手段重建身分的工作方法中取得創作靈感，並結合新聞媒體上進行中的戰爭與災難的兒童影像，參照團隊過往於事件現場中以結構光 3D 掃描受害兒童軀體的資料庫，將真實的身體數據在重新組裝、調整後，結合動態捕捉技術，創造虛擬的錄像場景與兒童角色模型。這些影像模型成為災難後靈魂遠離的身體副本，作為記憶外在變化的特殊媒介，透過兒童型態設定，隱喻未社會化的純真暴力與災難。

HONG × RIJKSAKADEMIE 國際駐學計畫
由洪建全基金會與荷蘭皇家視覺藝術學院（Rijksakademie）合作推動的「國際駐學計畫」，自 2023 年起啟動，為臺灣民間非營利組織首例。作為世界頂尖藝術駐村機構，Rijksakademie給予駐村藝術家從技術至理論全面性的創作支援，申請的藝術家們須通過如美國常春藤名校般的激烈角逐以成為駐村藝術家，在洪建全基金會與Rijksakademie所合作的「國際駐學計畫」中，若有臺灣籍、以臺灣為長居地，或創作主題與臺灣高度相關的青年藝術家申請駐村獲選，將有機會獲得洪建全基金會的贊助，支持其駐村計畫，希冀在臺荷雙機構的支持下，扶植臺灣藝術家運用國際專業資源發展創作。

This exhibition is the culmination of the Hong x Rijksakademie International Residency Project.
Artist HSU Che-Yu’s work draws heavily on personal familial memories, and real social historical events such as siamese twins that surgically separated, his late grandmother’s house, the personal memories of the “Rice Bomber,” and the crime scene reconstruction of the “Chiang Nan Incident” political conspiracy. These faded traces of the past are brought back into the present by the artist through computer modeling, animation, video, and installation. Through fictional and altered narratives, real events are re-enacted to create a space where death becomes a starting point, and renewal follows destruction. With this rewritten history, HSU explores how personal and collective memories are formed and perceived.
Catastrophism, co-created with CHEN Wan-Yin, develops from HSU’s previous concerns, turning to the relationship between the nervous system and the external world. The body is imagined as a simulator of external reality, where sensory input is turned into inner experience, a process the artists compare to fictionalizing the real. Using 3D scanning, virtual reality, and multi-channel videos, HSU constructs a mode of perception that exists outside of time yet reflects the sensations of the real world, thereby articulating an alternative form of “catastrophism”, a reconsideration of the relationship between soul, body, and disaster.
The work is a continuation of the artist’s long-term collaboration with a forensic scanning team, their methods of digital reconstruction of identities a constant source of creative inspiration to HSU. From recent media imageries of the bodies of children victims in war and disaster zones, structured light scanner data are collected, reassembled and transformed, combined with motion capture technology to create constructed scenes and child character models in the video work. These figures become copies of bodies left behind after disaster— bodies from which the soul has departed, bodies that serve as special vessels for the external transformation of memory; bodies in the form of children that symbolize unadulterated innocence, violence, and catastrophe.

HONG × RIJKSAKADEMIE International Residency Project
Launched in 2023, the HONG × Rijksakademie International Residency Project is a collaborative initiative between the Hong Foundation and the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in the Netherlands. It marks the first time a Taiwanese non-profit organization has partnered with the Rijksakademie on such a residency program. As one of the world’s leading artist-in-residence institutions, the Rijksakademie offers artists comprehensive support—from technical facilities to critical discourse. Through this partnership, artists who are Taiwanese nationals, based in Taiwan, or whose practice is strongly connected to Taiwan and are selected by the Rijksakademie may be eligible to receive a fellowship from the Hong Foundation. With the joint support of both institutions, the program aims to help artists develop their practice by engaging with international resources and expertise.
