▍展覽論述
「A Better Tomorrow」延續藝術家太認真多年來與臺灣南部一群印尼漁工朋友的交流互動，作為此長期創作計畫的階段性呈現，透過空間重現與多聲道聲音裝置，重構那些曾短暫存在、卻被強行抹去的生活場景。
在都市開發與邊境治理的現實下，臨海的岸邊，成為移工的異鄉與暫居之所——一種介於工作與生活、歸屬與流離之間的過渡空間。太認真以聲音採集與空間裝置將港邊的勞動、祈禱、歌唱與日常環境音，編織成一座「無人演出的劇場」，讓這段生活場景重新被感知。
「A Better Tomorrow」作為對未來的提問：那些被排除在主流社會價值視野之外的邊緣社群，是否能被納入我們對未來的想像之中？在光線、物質與聲音交織的場域裡，展覽邀請觀者重新思考跨國勞動、遷移與共存的可能。
▍藝術家簡歷
郭柏俞、佘文瑛自 2015 年開啟以「太認真」作為雙人共同的創作。作品曾受邀參與「2025 綠島人權藝術季」、「2023 浪漫臺三線藝術季」；亦曾於法國巴黎西帖國際藝術 Cité internationale des arts 及德國貝塔寧藝術村 Künstlerhaus Bethanien等機構藝術進駐。
太認真不只是一個名字，也是他們在藝術實踐裡重構場景與集體記憶的精神。台灣其獨特的地緣政治，驅使他們對於移民的好奇，以及追逐因現代化而消逝的人文風景。在結合田野研究、聲音與空間裝置的創作中，他們將藝術作為與當地移民社群建立對話與學習的方法。在探索不同文化領域下，嘗試各種來自日常生活經驗的多樣性材料，與不同的產業與工法合作，創造出具有沈浸式體驗的空間裝置作品。

▍Exhibition Statement
A Better Tomorrow continues Working Hard’s long-term exchanges and interactions with a group of Indonesian fisherman friends in southern Taiwan. Conceived as a phased presentation within this ongoing project, the exhibition reconstructs scenes of everyday life that once briefly existed yet were forcibly erased through spatial re-creation and multichannel sound installation.
Amid the intertwined realities of urban development and border governance, coastal shorelines become sites of estrangement and temporary dwelling for migrant workers—transitional spaces suspended between labor and rest, belonging and displacement. Through field recordings and spatial interventions, Working Hard weaves together the sounds of harbor labor, prayer, song, and ambient coastal textures into a theater without performers. In this immersive environment, lived moments re-emerge not as spectacle, but as resonance, inviting audiences to attune themselves to what has been overlooked or silenced.
A Better Tomorrow approaches the future as a question. Can communities and histories pushed to the margins still be included in how we imagine what comes next? Through light, material, and sound, the exhibition creates a space to rethink migration, labor, and coexistence—and to consider whose futures are allowed to be seen and heard.
▍About the Artists
Kuo Po-Yu and She Wen-Ying have collaborated under the name Working Hard since 2015. Their works have been presented at the 2025 Green Island Biennial and the 2023 Romantic Route 3 Art Festival. They have held artist residencies at Cité internationale des arts in Paris and Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin.
More than an artistic alias, Working Hard represents a shared methodology grounded in the reconstruction of scenes, of memory, and of collective experience. Shaped by Taiwan’s distinctive geopolitical condition, their practice is driven by an enduring curiosity about migration and an attentiveness to human landscapes that gradually fade under modernization. Integrating field research with sound and spatial installation, they approach art as a process of dialogue and reciprocal learning with migrant communities. Across diverse cultural contexts, they experiment with materials drawn from everyday life and collaborate with various industries and craft practices to create immersive spatial environments.
