Lying Moon presents a moon lying horizontally on the ground. It is an inflatable structure filled with water, inviting viewers to step onto its surface. Each step generates rippling water sounds, creating a physical interaction between the body and the lunar form. Drawing from the imagery of the moon reflected on water, the work transforms humanity’s hard-to-reach desire for lunar exploration into an accessible and tangible encounter. Viewers may walk, linger, or even lie down upon this “moon” on the water, transforming the gaze into a tangible bodily encounter.

Its surface is sculpted with a mixture of fine sand and cement, imprinted with craters and rough textures, then re-composed through photography and digital collaging to create a “false moon.” The word “lying” in the title refers not only to the moon’s reclining posture and the possibility of humans lying upon it, but also carries the implication of a “lie.” The moon we see here is not real but a construct, pieced together from cultural imagery and collective memory. Positioned between truth and fiction, Lying Moon responds to and bears humanity’s desires, imaginations, and romantic projections onto the moon.

《臥月》呈現一輪橫臥於地的月亮形體，它是一個含水結構的充氣裝置，當觀者踏上其表面時，隨之響起的水聲使身體與月面產生互動。作品取自月亮倒映於水面的意象，將人類難以抵達的登月渴望，轉化為可親近、可觸及的經驗，彷彿能在水面之上踩踏月亮，使觀者得以遊走、停留，甚至臥躺其上，將觀看轉化為切身的感知。

其表面以細沙與水泥混合塑形，壓印出隕石坑與粗糙紋理，再經由攝影與數位拼貼，生成一輪「偽月」。作品名稱中的 lying，一方面指月球橫臥於地的姿態，也暗示人類得以「臥」於其上；另一方面，它亦隱含「謊言」之意，提醒我們眼前的月球並非真實，而是由文化影像與集體記憶拼湊而成的虛構之物。在真實與虛構之間，《臥月》回應並承載了人類對月亮的慾望、想像與浪漫的投射。
