〈地產大亨與她的大象跳舞公寓〉 文/ 策展人蔡青樺
出生於90年代的年輕人，常常具備自嘲的特質，好比將自己描述為爛草莓、耳機聆聽著〈他們說我是沒有用的年輕人〉；事實上則是為了追求夢想而拼命努力，嘴上又不願承認自己仍在掙扎的一代人。黃姿瑜喜歡描繪、搜集房子，卻又愛嘲諷自己買不起任何一棟，「地產大亨」正是這樣誕生的展覽，她將對自我的揶揄、生活的無力，轉化為一場輕盈的遊戲。
Monopoly取自你我都相當熟悉的經典桌遊，在遊戲過程中可以透過購買、租賃和交易地產，讓自己成為唯一倖存的玩家，是某種佔有以及人生勝利組的象徵性遊具。然而，黃姿瑜的「地產大亨」遊戲，只在她的視覺經驗中進行：她臣服於牆角長出的雜草、路邊用餐的情侶、門前停著的一輛車、又或一條死巷，一幢又一幢地建造這些肖像群般的地產。這些地產饒富趣味地被姿瑜以臺灣國語的口音說成「房煮」，暗示出地產大亨並不是真的擁有很多地產，房子們也都只是「房煮」。種種自娛特質，反映出近似虛無主義的輕鬆，美好的事物不一定需要真的擁有，對姿瑜來說，或許典藏在她那小小的工作室裡便足矣。
〈Monopoly and Her Elephant-Dancing Apartments〉
Young people born in the 1990s often carry a distinctive self-deprecating humor. They call themselves “strawberry generation,” listen to songs like They Say I’m a Useless Youngster, and joke about their supposed fragility—while, in reality, they continue to chase their dreams with all their remaining strength, unwilling to admit how much they are still struggling. Huang Zi-yu is one of them: an artist who loves to draw and collect houses, yet openly mocks the fact that she cannot afford even one. Out of this mixture of irony and quiet frustration, the exhibition Real-Estate Tycoon was born—transforming self-mockery and life’s powerlessness into a lighthearted game.
The idea of “Monopoly” comes from the classic board game we all know, where players buy, rent, and trade properties in hopes of becoming the last one standing—a symbolic tool of possession and the fantasy of “life’s winners.” Yet Huang Zi-yu’s version of Real-Estate Tycoon unfolds only within her visual experience. She yields to the weeds growing in a corner, the couple eating by the roadside, the car parked before a doorway, or a quiet dead-end alley, constructing these scenes one by one into portraits of her own imagined properties.
