「新山海經」將現代世界推拒為遠古歷史，從遙遠的未來回 頭看。那時，當機械文明的工具再次被靈化為神獸，啟蒙的 歷史任務亦將終於告結。被意識形態神化的政治經濟體制亦 將會還原為神話。邱黯雄這個從未來向今天回觀的圖景，把 我們重新定性為原始人。 Qiu Anxiong’s Xin Shanhaijing (Book of Mountains and Seas) is created as a modern allegory in which the contemporary cultural-political world is viewed as an archaeological past. Bringing the fantastical creatures described in the ancient classic Shanhaijing out of the text and into his ink-and-brush paintings, Qiu invests modern representations of power and political-economic drive with beastly bodies driven by the ethos of their inner natures. Qiu’s eerie map of the world also allows us to look at our present predicament with an eye that telescopes back from the future.
