Wu Chi-Tsung was invited to “World Stage Design 2013”, Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Cardiff, UK (2013) for the set design work of “Off the map.”
2013年 吳季璁所設計《身體輿圖》舞台入圍英國世界劇場設計展
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。」
