A relationship of trust hidden under protection
By chance, I discovered the location of this research project. The project took place in a Rock Climbing Centre, which is open only on weekends and is popular with Climbing enthusiasts.
The research methodology and process used in this project are related to Perec (1974). According to Perec (1974), I described and recorded all the details that caught my eye through notebooks, pens and lenses. Especially for the rock climbers and their partners in this space to observe and record all-round, including their climbing trajectory, the tacit understanding between each other and the interaction and emotions between them. On the one hand, there are physical protective relationships, which are connected by ropes and equipment to protect each other. On the other hand, there is the intangible relationship of trust. together to achieve complete trust. This relationship is invisible and fragile, and it needs to be maintained together to achieve complete trust. Through photographing and recording, the project further investigated the delicate relationship between people and made experiments.
In my attempt to visualize the trust relationship between people, Carlo Di Salvo (2012, p116) ‘s view that “the process of exploration gives form to problematic situations” inspired and guided me. As Salvo (2012, p116) States, “The process of inquiry makes problematic situations able to be perceived and experienced.” This project can present the exploration process of fragile trust relationship between people through experimental experience. In response, the project made simple links from a variety of materials, wristbands linking wrists. Combine a sturdy connection device with a fragile paper wristband. It is intended to show that people must work together to maintain a fragile trust relationship between each other, otherwise it will easily break like a paper wristband.
