Photos of world renowned Irish artist John Gerrard’s Mirror Pavilion, featuring Corn Work on the LED screen, pictured at Claddagh Quay, Galway, Ireland. Mirror Pavilion, Corn Work was a centrepiece of Galway International Arts Festival's Autumn Edition. Mirror Pavilion is a beautiful and striking structure, with three sides and the roof clad in a highly reflective mirror and the fourth wall a high–resolution LED wall. This structure hosts two new artworks Corn Work and Leaf Work, which unfold on the LED screen. Mirror Pavilion reflects and responds to the escalating climate crisis and the landscape at two locations, starting at the historic Claddagh Quay in Galway City where Corn Work was visible on the screen. John Gerrard has taken digital technology, usually employed by the commercial gaming industry, to create virtual worlds that simulate extremely detailed and authentic landscapes. The characters and landscapes we see on the LED screen may look like video or film but they are not.
這是聞名遐邇的愛爾蘭 (Ireland) 藝術家約翰·傑拉德 (John Gerrard) 的傑作「鏡亭」(Mirror Pavilion) 的官方照片,該藝術品的 LED 螢幕上展示了一部名為「玉米作品」(Corn Work) 的作品。這些官方照片均拍攝於愛爾蘭高威克拉達碼頭(Claddagh Quay, Galway City)。「鏡亭·玉米作品」是高威國際藝術節秋季展的主要展覽品。「鏡亭」是一座美麗且引人注目的藝術品,四方體的三個側面和頂蓋都鋪上了極高反射率的鏡面,而面向路人的第四個側面則裝上了一道高解析度的LED 螢幕牆。這個藝術品的LED螢幕上展示了兩部全新的作品:「玉米作品」和「樹葉作品」(Leaf Work)。「鏡亭」在兩個地方分別展出。該作反應了不斷加劇的氣候危機和地貌變化。展出的地點從高威市歷史悠久的克拉達碼頭,以螢幕上顯而易見的「玉米作品」開始。約翰·傑拉德採用了商業遊戲界常用的數位科技,打造了能夠詳細模擬並還原真實風景的虛擬世界。LED 螢幕上展示的特色和地貌看似一部事先拍好的影片,但其實另有玄機。
