2025 | Animation Installation | Dimensions Variable
Inspired by Adonis's poem "Between Your Eyes and Mine", Florence Yuk-ki Lee transforms the line "When I drown my eyes in your eyes, I glimpse the deepest dawning" into a visual narrative that contemplates the emotional, mnemonic, and sensory dimensions of flight.
The work, presented as a form of an animated installation modeled after an airplane cabin window, places viewers in a passenger position. Looking out through a first-person perspective, the animation traces the ascent into the sky, passing through layers of clouds, gliding above a flickering cityscape, and finally touching down in an unfamiliar destination. For LEE, the act of seeing in flight becomes a state of suspended contemplation: Where are we headed? The eye staring out the window simultaneously looks inward, recalling memories and sensing a future yet to be named.
Set against the context of the airport, a space of perpetual movement and waiting, the "eye" becomes an interface where space, time, and distance converge. What one sees from high above is not just a landscape, but the emotional distances extended and held in suspension. LEE reveals flight as a "gaze in motion": a perceptual practice of hovering between looking, encountering, and weightlessness.

2025｜動畫裝置｜尺寸依場地而定
李鈺淇從阿多尼斯詩作《你的眼睛和我之間》中汲取靈感，將其中一句「當我把眼睛沉入你的眼睛，我瞥見幽深的黎明」轉化為一則視覺敘事，思考飛行過程中個體所承載的情緒、記憶與身體感知。
作品以動畫影像結合機艙絃窗般的裝置形式，觀者如置身座位，透過第一人稱視角凝視窗外，經歷飛機升空、穿越雲層、俯瞰閃爍城景，直至抵達陌生之地。李鈺淇將飛行中的觀看經驗轉化為一種漂浮的凝視狀態：我們將前往何方？那雙凝視窗外的眼睛，也在回望彼此、召喚回憶、感知尚未命名的未來。
在機場這個總是與流動、離別與等待交織的場所中，李鈺淇試圖將「眼睛」轉化為一種象徵性的感知裝置：既是觀看的媒介，也是人與人情感交會的界面。作品中的「眼睛」成為空間、時間與距離交疊的窗口，對應著情感如何在飛行的經驗中被延展、錯置與暫留。在高空中看見的，不只是風景，而是與他人、與自己之間難以命名的距離。李鈺淇不僅再現了飛行的視覺經驗，更揭示了飛行是一場流動中的凝視：一種情緒性與感知性的狀態，懸浮在情緒與記憶的氣流裡，是一場關於觀看、交會與失重的感知練習。
