Fish Trap House V Yuguang Island
size | 5*5*3.4 m
material | Bamboo, rattan, steel, brick, weather-resistant coating
The Fish Trap is an ancient vessel. In the past, it served as a tool for catching fish. Then, as it was no longer used, it became a symbol that bears lost culture in museums and literature. In this piece, we tried to take this vessel and reproduce it with different dimensions and appearances.
The artist FENG focused on the memories of the handicraft and the unique spatial experience that is perceived with the body to create a one-of-a-kind Fish Trap House so the vessel has a chance to hold all kinds of possibilities and imagination. The Fish Trap House created by the artist is not used for trapping fish. Instead, it captures the attention of people, luring them in as if they are fish in the water, swimming into the alluring landscape of Yuguang Island.

筌屋V漁光島
尺寸| 5*5*3.4 m
材質 | 孟宗竹、藤、鐵、空心磚、耐候防水塗料
魚筌是以竹藤手工製作而成的古老漁獵工具，出現在各地與各族群傳統文化之中，各地的魚筌造形和尺寸主要受材料、獵物、設置環境與該族群的審美所影響，不再被使用的魚筌不但承載著人類文明的累積，也存放著過去人與自然和諧共處的關係。藝術家范承宗關注著手工的記憶、用身體感受特殊的空間感，依照創作基地的環境特徵與人們的行為屬性，他將環境視為河流，將往來的人群視為獵物，在每個基地創造獨一無二的筌屋，他所創造的筌屋並不用來抓魚，而是企圖捕捉人們的關注，引人如魚般游入其中，游進迷人的古老文化與漁光島的迷人風景裡。
