「去年替關渡公園拍攝的影片，終於出來惹！分享給大家，台北還是有這一塊好地方喔～」
2:28 有蝙蝠稀有的叫聲喔（覺得很奇幻）
關渡自然公園 Guandu Nature Park
【2017成果影片出爐！】
台北市關渡平原上僅存的大面積水稻田，是2017關渡國際自然藝術季《阡陌之間》審視的對象。「阡陌」一詞指的是田間縱橫交錯的小路，這片已存在百年的水田，過去曾是重要米倉，也見證了臺北這座城市的發展，許多歷史軌跡，還有不同時代人們對待土地的種種態度，都刻劃在田間道路與灌溉渠道之中。但《阡陌之間》並非僅懷舊地追憶早期農村記憶與文化，反而試圖要在當代脈絡中，透過藝術家進駐、志工參與、在地走讀等系列活動，共同梳理這片水田之於今日、甚至是未來臺北城市的多層意義，並試圖激發參與者從各種角度去思考自身與這樣地景結構變遷的關係。
這支成果影片記錄了七位受邀至關渡自然公園創作的藝術家以及作品，彼此創作風格與理念雖各異其趣，但都闡述了他們對環境的深刻關懷，以及對2017年度主題《阡陌之間》的回應。
轉型後的關渡國際自然藝術季，策展團隊設定「傾聽、連結、共生」為2016-2018這三年的策展主軸，2016年《來自真實的故事》以傾聽做為關懷的第一步，解讀自然裡的各種訊息及故事，《阡陌之間》則期許能如田間阡陌交錯的小徑串連有形土地一般，幫助參與其中的人們照見內心與外在世界的連結，對自己身處的土地產生歸屬感，甚至找到自己的定位。一場藝術行動或許無法立即帶來甚麼具體或大規模的改變，但它的確讓一群來自各方、關心土地的朋友因而相遇，交織彼此生命故事，這樣的觸動將會延伸出甚麼？我們希望能繼續透過藝術的力量來發現。
The only remaining large tracks of paddy field in Guandu Plain, Taipei City comes under the spotlight in the 2017 Guandu International Nature Art Festival “With Paths Crisscrossing.” Paths crisscrossing are the roads intersecting the fields. The century-old paddy field that used to serve as the major granary has been a witness to the development of this city. The crisscrossing roads and irrigation canals reveal the changes over time and human interference across the generations. Rural nostalgia as it is, With Paths Crisscrossing takes a step further. Through artists-in-residence, volunteer involvement, local walking tour and other activities, the Festival attempts to sort out many strata of the historical meaning of paddies in urban Taipei or even to explore what role they will play in future development. Last but not the least, the Festival hopes to inspire participants to reflect from different perspectives on their own relationship with the landscape as its structure changes over time.
This film records the seven participatory artists and their artworks created in Guandu Nature Park. The artistic styles and ideas might be different, but they all manifest their care for the environment and interpretations of the theme "With Paths Crisscrossing."
The transformed Guandu International Nature Art Festival has focused on Listening, Connection and Symbiosis during 2016-2018. The theme of the 2016 Festival, Based on A True Story, highlighted comprehending as the first step toward land care by reading messages and stories about and from Nature. With Paths Crisscrossing aims to help people perceive the connections between their inner selves with the outer nature as the paths crisscrossing the fields do. The ultimate goal is to help viewers feel that they belong to the land and find their place in it. Admittedly, an art project alone cannot guarantee a substantial or dramatic transformation. However, it will definitely bring people from all corners to meet in the way that interweaves their stories in the web of life. What would the sensational surges bring? This is something we hope to discover through the power of art.
