Profoundly poetic and of hypnotic beauty, the performance Off the Map creates a space for contemplation in which viewers are invited to get away from their sense of time and reality for a while and get in touch with their inner self.

In a setting reminiscent of the immaterial light of dawn and every so often changing into sky, clouds, sea, or night, the female body is moving slowly, precisely and steadily. There is a constant whisper mapping perhaps her inner monologue – probably what motivates her body to go “off the map”. Her body: embodying all the history of Far-Eastern physicality and its characteristic profound spirituality; yet, a contemporary body in a mediated environment. A body vulnerable yet vigorous, incorporating all the fragility of the human in a fluid, ever-changing post-industrial world: a metaphor for the human condition today.

蘇文琪透過此次演出,反省所謂新媒體的意義,希望保有創作精神,但降低技術性。也因此,雖然仍舊「跨界」,依然「多媒體」,《身體輿圖》卻呈現了新媒體的「低限主義」。

擅長視覺裝置的吳季璁,以全白屏幕和成本不高的汽車隔熱紙打造簡單而充滿流動感、意象驚人的舞台,「文琪的肢體充滿臨界狀態、內在張力飽滿,所以我創造一個中性、開放的空間,讓舞台既有無限延伸,又保有壓迫感。」
