「創作生態」（Ecologies of Making）以一個基本命題為起點：認識一個地方，就是與這個地方共同製作。 抵達一個地方，意味著一段持續演進的探索過程就此展開，而其中許多發現，無法事先規劃或預期。這個過程始於觀察與聆聽，並透過與當地居民、其文化，以及蘊含於地方材料與基礎設施中的歷史，逐步建立關係。對藝術家而言，認識是一種身體經驗，透過觸覺與熟悉的動作得以實現。本展覽追溯 Elena Redaelli 自進駐新竹市鐵道藝術村以來，在臺灣所發展的一系列計畫，呈現這段探索歷程。這些作品共同揭示了一種隨著時間推移，透過與材料相遇、與他者建立關係而逐漸形塑的創作實踐。
Ecologies of Making begins with the premise that to know a place is to make with it. Arriving opens an evolving process of discovery, much of which cannot be planned or anticipated. It begins with observing and listening and develops through relationships with the people who live there, their culture, and the histories embodied in local materials and infrastructures. For the artist, knowing is a bodily experience mediated by touch and familiar movements. The exhibition traces this process of discovery through the projects developed by Elena Redaelli in Taiwan since the beginning of her residency programme at the Art Site of the Railway Warehouse. Together, the works reveal a practice shaped by material encounters and relationships formed over time.
