葉誌航（b.1990）現居、創作於台灣台北，2013年畢業於華梵大學美術學系。曾獲桃源美展立體造型類第二名、宜蘭獎優選、台灣美術新貌獎入選、桃源創作獎入選、高雄獎入選、台南新藝獎、基隆美展油畫組第一名、花蓮縣駐縣藝術家，並於 2017 年出版個人畫冊《家庭相簿》。

「家庭相簿」系列作品，源於2014年至馬祖服役時攜帶的家庭照片，透過照片、與家人聊天的過程中，回憶起許多童年的記憶，便以此為文本，將家庭故事透過繪畫、聲音及錄像裝置等方式呈現。 2018 年開始以「人造天堂」為主軸進行系列創作，在「四腳獸森林」中將女性胸部神聖化，並附加於其他動物身上使其進化為神獸；「嫁接診療所」則打造了以植物嫁接技術來改造性器官的奇幻醫美診所。

“Family Album” series originated from the family photos he brought with him when he served in Matsu in 2014. Through the photos and conversations with his family, he recalled many childhood memories and used them as texts to present family stories through paintings, sounds and video installations. In 2018, he began a series of works with “Artificial Paradise” as the main axis. In “Blissful Forest”, female breasts are sacred and attached to other animals to make them evolve into divine beasts; “Grafting Clinic” creates a fantasy plastic surgery clinic that uses plant grafting technology to transform sexual organs.

創作自述 Artist Statement

《樂透》

妹妹小時候被父親惡整中樂透的趣事，到現在不時還會被大家拿出來笑話一下，在家庭生活上父親也常常逗我們笑、甚至整我們，也許我這種愛開玩笑的個性也是遺傳自他吧！在完成了錄像作品之後，接著再將影像裡的場景製作成一個個燈箱，使得拍攝中的實體場景也被保留成為了這件作品的一部份。

Lottery
 
That time my younger sister was fooled by my father into believing we won the lottery is still brought up from time to time for laughs. In my family life, my father often made us laugh and even pranked us. Perhaps my jocular personality came from him. After finishing the video works, I made light boxes out of the scenes in the video. The actual scenes from the shooting were preserved as a part of this work.

《Lily》

翻閱舊照片時發現了父親兒時與一隻狐狸狗的合照，好奇詢問之下發現有了有一段故事。這個故事真的非常吸引我，所以想要轉化成作品來敘述這一段玄事。依據佛教文學裡的《五苦章句經》裡所述：「夫父子夫婦。兄弟家室。知識奴婢。有五因緣。何謂為五？」我總想，應該慶幸家庭成員裡都沒有冤親債主，一家和樂，上輩子我們可能都燒了些好香吧！

Lily
 
While going through the old photos, I found a photo of my father’s younger self with a Spitz dog. I inquired out of curiosity and found that there’s a story behind it. This story greatly captivated me, so I wanted to retell it as a work to recount this mysterious matter. According to the Five-Part Vinaya of Buddhist literature: “Your husband, father, son, wife, brothers, family members, friends, colleagues, and subordinates come into existence from five kinds of people in your past life, and what are these five kinds?” I always think to myself, I should be grateful that no one in my family reincarnated from people whom I’ve wronged or owed in my past life. My family is harmonious and happy. Perhaps we burned some good incense for the gods in our previous lives!
