Located in the Gangshan District, the Kaohsiung Museum of Shadow Puppet specializes in the traditional art of shadow puppetry. Traditional Taiwanese shadow puppet troupes can only be found in Kaohsiung, making shadow puppetry a precious asset in local culture.
In 2007, local artist Lee Ming-tse began to incorporate shadow puppetry into contemporary artforms. Shadow Puppet Theatre Space Art is an artwork located in Gangshan South Station, where Lee used an electric motor to project shadow puppet shows on paper screens resembling Chinese palace lanterns, featuring transparent, hand-painted puppets that spark viewers’ imagination and serve as a reminder of traditional portrayals.
005皮偶戲劇場之空間藝術
高雄皮影戲館位於岡山區,皮影戲是高雄獨有的傳統劇種,全國僅存的傳統皮影戲劇團皆落居於高雄,為在地珍貴的傳統藝術無形文化資產。
在地藝術家李明則先生於2007年開始用皮影戲作為創作的元素。捷運南岡山車站內的《皮偶戲劇場之空間藝術》,藝術家使用電動馬達,讓手繪的透明戲偶於形似古代宮燈的紙幕上演出,使觀者無限想像其劇情內容。
行經的旅客觀賞本作品,可透過小型的皮影戲劇場,想像著50、60年代傳統皮影戲的繁榮,並提醒世人勿忘傳統戲曲。
