碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 美術學系視覺藝術教學碩士班 === 101 === This research focuses on the subject-object relations of shadows in installation art. The section of literature review collects relevant studies on shadows and tries to clarify the meaning and implication of shadows. Different artists and their works on shadows are analyzed to see their subject-object relations. “The shadow personifies everything that the subject refuses to acknowledge about himself." The author creates two works. One is “Closet,” hoping to explore the unknown side of gays in the closet. The other is “Dialogue,” aiming at knowing the creator’s father and rebuilding and making up the relationship In the creation of shadow, the creator adopts the method of installation art with the findings of theoretical studies and presents the inner state of mind of gays and also of the creator himself with a viewpoint of gay and self dialogues. The installation artworks of shadow not only bring the viewers a visual experience but also engage the creator to have an in-depth dialogue with myself.
