2 Bois du Cazier.jpeg

卡濟耶森林老煤礦區位於比利時夏勒華市Marcinelle區,是比國三大主要煤礦區之一,1956年8月8日發生重大礦災,共有262礦工人員罹難,此件青銅作品是向該事件致意的紀念柱原型。

光華沉穩的矩形方柱,首先以線描圖形標示礦區所在位置的輪廓與地形特徵﹕煤渣山、低矮丘陵、夏勒華市區的現代建築;原本應該完整的幾何體上,每一轉折處都出現了裂口,裸露出內部金屬線軸,象徵事件中主要的致難因素∶高壓電線與礦井升降機電纜斷裂、通風管與輸油管起火;工業機器設施、電力網板零件、各種金屬線圈及動力運轉工具符號,構成深入地層的豎井中所有的元素,敘述百年來的開採與巨大災難,對大地與人們造成難以縫合的傷口。

This bronze work is the prototype of a memorial pillar paying tribute to the 8 August 1956 mining disaster that killed 262 miners in the old Cazieux Forest coal mine in the Marcinelle district of Charleroi, Belgium, one of the country's three major coal mining areas.

The gloriously subdued rectangular square pillar begins with a line drawing of the contours and topographical features of the mine's location: the cinder hill, the low hills, the modern buildings of downtown Charleroi.

The geometry, which should have been intact, was cracked at every turn, exposing the inner metal spools, symbolizing the main factors of the incident: the breakage of the high-voltage cables and the mine elevator cables, and the fire in the ventilation and oil pipelines.

Industrial machinery facilities, power grid parts, various metal coils and power tools symbols constitute all the elements of a shaft that penetrates deep into the earth, recounting a century of mining and great disasters that have inflicted unbreakable wounds on the earth and people.
