埃里卡.貝克曼(b.1951,紐約)是圖像世代(Pictures Generation)的關鍵藝術家之一。他的作品探索了在大眾傳播的年代,個人自我意象的塑造如何受到外部意見影響。他的影像和裝置常藉由顏色、聲音及動作去檢視文化符號及主體性,並特別聚焦於勞動、娛樂及性別議題。自1970年代中期以來,在電影、錄像、裝置和攝影創作中,貝克曼打造了一種標誌性的視覺語彙。他的影像趣味詼諧並帶有批判性,取藉各種遊戲與童話故事的結構與運作機制,融合創造出外於現存的運行規則,同時也觸及他者與身分、權力與控制等深刻的問題探討。
Ericka Beckman (b. 1951, New York) is considered a key figure of the Pictures Generation, whose work investigates how individuals shape their self-image based on outside influencers during an age of mass media. The moving image works and installations created by her use color, sound, and movement to examine cultural signs and subjectivity, particularly with regard to labor, leisure and gender. Since the mid-1970s, Beckman has forged a signature visual language in film, video, installation, and photography. Her creations are playfully satirical and critical at the same time, and by incorporating various structural elements and the logics of games and fairytales, she has established unconventional structures and rules, while also profoundly exploring issues on topics such as others and identity, as well as power and control.
