「若時間是這一片海，我們在記憶中推引與淹沒。」
陳文祺，現任實踐大學媒體傳達設計學系（所）主任。「偽日記」是陳文祺繼2012年在北美館的「物自體」與海馬迴「物自體 2 Agape」個展後全新系列影像裝置創作。此次將在VT非常廟藝文空間展出數量高達100件的影像裝置，作品懸空浮出牆面，以標本盒凝結影像與文字的圖文日誌，呈現出記憶中的真實時空狀態。作品延續藝術家以往創作脈絡，討論時空與人的存在關係，回應時空與記憶之於人如蟻穴的生物樣態。
在「偽日記」中，藝術家將活版鉛字結合黑白影像，將旅行於五個城市的觀察與內心的感受諸之筆墨的表達方式；在裝置中記錄著無法辨識的時間、空間與不曾存在的真實記憶， 作品體現後設認知（metacognition）如何成形為人為的偽造，影像的作舊感混淆並打破時間感，它從未橫跨過去與未來的視野，也不存在於現在。活版鉛字復刻出墨味與字模，一字一魂的敲打墨印於無酸厚紙，凹陷的墨字詩句是活字的殘留物，文字於紙上的再現與陷痕則提煉出冶字的藝術性與非快的慢品味。
在陳文祺的「偽日記」中探討著時間的飄渺與無常性。「偽」人為也，若以人為中心，人為的一切無一真實；過去曾是真理的今天可能成了謬誤，而今天是為謬誤的在明日可能是真理。對於真實，人們早已似回應納西瑟斯（Narcissus）的回聲（echo）中迴響空谷；「偽日記」中對於影像的真實如同記憶的可信度，看似完整與客觀的拍攝，經由書寫，讓時空的思維向度迷失在認知夾縫中。此系列作品完全回應創作者將影像視為「死亡的印記」的一貫創作脈絡，100見裝置懸浮於半空，適切地貼近觀看與閱讀，於此刻你我所觀賞到的時空回音都凝結在每件沈甸甸的木盒中，最終置入鏡面般金屬盒內封印。影像日記中書寫著京都、東京、上海、曼谷、臺北的切片，在今日數位化的介面，古拙的影像與文字顯現方式煙霧化了此刻觀注究竟是何年代。陳文祺透過日記般回數記憶的寫作，將內心感受與對物、我的關注與歷程，皆透過自成一格的筆法遊戲的或抑鬱的敘述回應在每一個鉛字與紙墨的撞擊；每篇文字梳理自身理性及感性的景緻。觀眾若有勇氣拋開時間上的限制，閱讀每一篇日記裡的視點與時空概念，圖、文、語言的邏輯思辨將在觀看作品的當下生津。
時間的靜默是真實的感受，萬物與時間是凝結的，弔詭的是時間與記憶糾纏。時間與空間不是扁平的影像，當感知能夠製造與複製，攝影恰是複製時空的影像片段，文字勾畫已過去的感受，而鉛字本為大量複製的特質，在「偽日記」裡成了宛如標本般的印刻在畫面中。然而真實是，即使我們認為這一切的凝結，時間也重來沒有停滯過，一切記錄都是真實無關，只是製造著真實的過去。藝術家反覆辯證著影像和時空關係，將在此複合向度之下提供觀者在影像與冶字的思緒蜂室。

"If time is that sea, we are pushing the lead and lost in the memory."
Chen Wen-Chi currently the Chairman of the department of Communication Design at Shih Chien University. "Authenticity Temporal Memory" is a new series of photographic installation works that follows up on Chen Wen Chi’s last two solo exhibitions, "the thing itself" in the Taipei Fine Art Museum and "the thing itself 2 Agape" in Fotoaura institute of photography. The exhibition in VT Artsalon will feature 100 installation works suspended out from the surface of the walls. The specimen boxes are the vessel for images and diary entries, recreating the actual state of time and space for the memory. This series is a continuation of the artist’s previous works; discuss the relationship between time, space and human existence.
In “Authenticity Temporal Memory” the artist juxtapose letterpress type with black and white image, using expressive words to presenting the feelings and travel observation of the five cities; in the installation time is not recognized, space and real memory that did not exist, works reflect metacognition, how it become something artificially created, the distressed effect of the image provide a sense of confusion in time, it has never cross the boundaries between past and future not does it exist in the present. Moveable lead types carve out the shape and the feel of ink, hitting and printing out one character at a time onto on acid-free card, verses of character depressed in ink are the remains of movable type. The texts reproduced on paper are the artistic marks and the aesthetics of “non-fast”
“Authenticity Temporal Memory” explores the ephemeral and impermanence. "False" is manmade, nothing is real in anything manmade; the truth in the past may become a fallacy today, the fallacy of today may be the truth of tomorrow. Toward reality people already seem to respond with a narcissus voice echoing in the Valley; “Authenticity Temporal Memory” is true to image as the credibility of memory, seemingly objective shooting after writing, once again become lost in the cracks of time and space. This series follows on the concept of the "Flesh is the prison of the soul" series, 100 installation works is suspended in mid-air, allowing a appropriate distance for seeing and reading, the heavy wooden box we see, will in the end be sealed into a mirror finished metal box. Photographic diary with slices of Kyoto, Tokyo, Shanghai, Bangkok, Taipei, confused the viewer of today's digital-oriented world, to what time and period we are looking. Chen Wen-Chi through the act of diary writing, express his feelings and concern with history, each text contain their rational and emotional landscape. If viewers can put aside time constraints, read every diary in space-time, conceptual, logical, speculative point of view, text, language of the work will flow in the current time.
Quiet times are real feelings, everything is condensed with time, time and memory entangles. Time and space are not flat images, they can be produced and reproduce, photography is precisely replicated time and space footage, text outline of past experience, large scale duplication quality of lead type, in " Authenticity Temporal Memory" has become specimen like engraved onto the screen. But truth is, even if we think that all is frozen, time has never stopped, all records are unrelated to reality, just a creation of a real past. Artists repeated assess the relations between images and space-time, providing the viewer a composition of images and words under the rule of a conceptual dimension.

Warsaw, Poland
Visiting Poland
August 2015
Few time to visit Poland but enough to reach the two main cities of the country. The well reconstructed Warsaw, full of memories with war and freedom signs and Kraków, full of flowing life by the streets between the historical centre and the jewish quarter. My visit in 12 shoots.

Precious memories, unseen angels
Sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger, ever near me
And the sacred scenes unfold.
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold.
Precious father, loving mother
Fly across the lonely years
And old home scenes of my childhood
In fond memory appear.
In the stillness of the midnight
Echoes from the past I hear
Old-time singing, gladness bringing
From that lovely land somewhere.
I remember mother praying
Father, too, on bended knee
Sun is sinking, shadows falling
But their prayers still follow me.
As I travel on life's pathway
Know not what the years may hold
As I ponder, hope grows fonder
Precious memories flood my soul.
