2019年高雄國際貨櫃藝術節以「陷阱」為主題，是間接對現代人的一個提問！時代發展至今，我們過著高度工業化、現代化、資訊化的生活，許多日常上的擁有與便利都被人們視為理所當然！但是，如果有一天這些擁有與便利不見了，我們還有什麼樣的生活可供選擇?在貨櫃藝術節裡，「陷阱」或許也只是一個假設性的演繹題！藝術家們如何在物質或精神層次上帶著觀眾冒險解題，也為自己的人生尋得一處安身之所。

試想，我們將生活還原至一個人生存最基本的需求—尋找食物；在沒有貨幣買賣及超市的年代，食物的取得大部分要靠勞力與智力，在人際關係疏離的都市裡，我們可能會羨慕原住民部落生活中仍存在的集體生活意識，透過分食、分工的組織運作，使得族群命脈與文化得以延續，為現代文明示範出一個宛如烏托邦的理想世界！在以物易物的年代，人們是因為競爭還是合作才能安然生存?在使用實體貨幣或虛擬貨幣的現今，便利的物質生活並沒有帶來相對應精神層面的富足，使得回歸原野山林逐漸成為許多人嚮往的生活方式之一。

在此藝術節中，我們虛擬/架構一個山林原野與都市叢林的對話，漫談「陷阱」存在的必然(具象)與超然(抽象)，然而「陷阱」形態通常隱而不現，百樣多變，我們將如何辨識與跨越?我們用既輕鬆又嚴肅的態度漫談「陷阱」，參展藝術家們也試圖深耕挖掘這個議題，將之輻射到文化、人權、土地、政治、經濟、社會及生活中的各個面向。

Taking the theme of “trap”, the 2019 Kaohsiung International Container Arts Festival is intended to indirectly raise a question to modern people. Nowadays, we are living a highly industrialized and modernized life with advanced information technology. We have taken many things and conveniences we are having in daily life for granted. However, what if all our current possessions and conveniences were gone, what kind of life will we have then? With the hypothetical theme of “trap” for the Festival this year, artists take viewers on an adventure on a material and/or spiritual level to find an answer to this question and find the destination of life for themselves.

Let’s imagine: Our life is retrograded back to its most primitive form in which we have to meet the most fundamental need for survival by finding and collecting food all by ourselves. There is no monetary currency or supermarket. We have to obtain food mostly through our labor or intellect. Living in cities where people are alienated from one another, we may envy the collective lifestyle of living together as whole that still exists in indigenous communities. Through their sharing of food and division of work, they are able to continue their bloodlines and cultures. They serve as a model of utopian society for modern civilizations. During the era of bartering, did humanity compete or cooperate in order to survive? In the present days with physical or virtual currency, convenient life at the material level does not necessarily bring spiritual richness; as a result, more and more people are longing for life back in the wild fields and mountain forests.

In the Festival this year, we construct a virtual dialogue between wild jungles and urban jungles, discussing freely about the “trap”—its concrete existence (at the substance level) and its conceptual nature (at the abstract level). However, traps are often hidden and come in a diverse variety of forms. How can we identify them and avoid being trapped? The issue of the “trap” is taken both lightly and seriously in the Festival this year with the participating artists deepening their discussions through their works about “traps” in different domains of life, such as culture, human rights, land, politics, economy, and society.
