摘要: 本论文将吴天章历年的作品分成三期,以傅柯(Michel Foucault)在《不正常的人》中所讨论的政治诡态和罗素(Mary Russo)提出的两种诡态(Carnival and the Uncanny)来探讨其作品在不同时期所表现的诡态样貌。本论文由影像分析一方面试图找出各时期的主题,另一方面也企图从这些主题中了解其作品的寓意。

吴天章第一时期(1990年-1991年)作品里的政治领袖肖像呈现了他对政治议题和社会变迁的关心。第二时期(1993年-1997年)的主题转向了个人欲望和在地文化,他用俗丽的装饰和摄影的概念塑造出了独特的女性诡态影像。第三时期(2002年-至今)的作品运用了电脑科技,模拟复制出各种怪胎或是肉体,并配合文字来挑战对于因果轮回和宗教劝世的传统价值观。吴天章的作品由政治强人、个人肖像至近期的嘉年华式众生相,都利用诡态的惊世骇俗来吸引观者的目光。他的作品能和同期艺术之作有所区别之处就在于他极具后现代特色的拼贴和恣仿风格造成的吴式幽默。
In this thesis, Wu Tien-chang’s works are divided into three periods and are investigated with Foucault’s grotesque of political monsters in Abnormal (2003) and the two kinds of grotesques by Russo – the carnival grotesque and the uncanny grotesque (1995: 7). By analyzing the images, I define a theme for each period and show the allergy of each period through the themes.

During the first period (1990-1991), Wu manipulates the images of four Chinese political leaders (Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Ching-kuo, Mao Tse-tung and Deng Hsiao-ping) to express his concerns about the political issues and the social transition. During the second period (1993-1997), he uses feminized figures in a way of photography to represent the uncanny grotesque with garish decorations in order to show his concern about personal desires and the local culture. During the third period (2002- present), Wu applies digital techniques in his pictures to generate and reproduce all kinds of freaks and bodies. He also uses religious texts to challenge the traditional values about reincarnation and the religious dissuasion. Wu uses the features of postmodernism – pastiche and collage – to achieve “Wu’s humor” which distinguishes him as a unique artist in Taiwan. From the political leaders to common people, and even to the carnival of all flesh, Wu’s grotesque images always draw our attention.
