等待潛伏的力量: 在看見之後。
臺南市的兩條生命之河鹽水溪、二仁溪的源頭，都位於龍崎區，可稱之為「水之故鄉」。在2021年5月，全台灣面臨了「大缺水」的危機，全球暖化與極端氣候的影響，逐漸向我們逼近而來；極旱和極澇的交替，如何保住「水」賜予我們的生命力量，將會成為這個世紀的重要課題。 龍崎國際聞名的「惡地泥岩」的特殊地貌，有「極易乾裂、不透水」的特性，因此在乾旱期間會看見一片「惡土旱地、乾燥無比、裂地千里」的特殊景緻。但若我們不被表象所惑，趴伏在地上傾耳聆聽，便可以聽到地下水脈流動的生命之音，這便是伏流。 2021也是「疫情延續之年」，眾人等待的社會開放被延期，時間的運轉被停滯。我們共同面臨了「無可避免的等待」。疫情的時候等待著社會的開放，缺水的時候等待著大雨的降落；而龍崎這樣的偏鄉，或許是等待著經濟起飛、人口回流、市場再次開業，這等待是長久的。然而就如伏流一樣，等待的期間也是儲蓄的期間，許多人、組織與團體默默的在地方耕耘；每個人都應當去探尋那社會潛藏的能量，發掘伏流水，引出灌溉幼苗，期待著花開的一日。 從裂地到伏流，從枯黃到滿枝，從等待到期待；「空山祭 : 惡地伏流」以「水」連結所有要素，表現「等待的三個狀態」:裂地(在地性/等待)、伏流(潛力/自我探索)、復甦(希望之苗/期待)。
The sources of the Yanshuei River and the Erren River, the two rivers supporting life in Tainan, are located in Longci, also known as“the hometown of water”. Because the influence of global warming and extreme climate change was approaching, Taiwan was faced with“the great drought” in May,2021. How to save water, our source of life, in the extreme climate becomes the most important issue in this century. Badland, the world-famous specific terrain in Longci, features extreme aridity and water resistance. Therefore, we will see severe dry and plain land with cracks spreading everywhere in such a distinctive landscape. However, if we are not bewildered by its plain appearance, and lie on the ground and listen carefully, we will hear the sound of a river flowing underground. This is the so-called underground stream. 2021 is the year when the pandemic went on. Unlike everyone’s expectations, The restrictions didn’t lift, and the operation of society was stuck. we were altogether forced to the inevitable waiting. We were waiting for the restrictions to lift during the pandemic, waiting for the rain during the drought, and so was Longci. The rural area such as Longci maybe is waiting for the econimic take-off, the return of population, and the reopening of stores. Waiting takes a long time, and it is like underground streams, which gradually restore power. Many people, organizations, and groups dedicate themselves to society with a low profile. Therefore, we should seek those hidden power as if we discover the underground stream, extract the water to irrigate the seedlings and wait for the seedling to blossom.
惡地伏流
故事的一開始，「龍崎三鼠」生活在一片的乾裂大地，他們依靠著一顆大樹生存。大樹偶爾會掉下彩色、水分飽滿的果實，可愛的三鼠以此維生。這是被動的等待。(龍崎牛埔垃圾掩埋場的環境評估報告中提到，龍崎沒有哺乳類動物，僅有三種鼠類生存 : 松鼠、尖鼠、黑鼠。這就是「龍崎三鼠」。後來經台南社大老師調查，龍崎生態豐富，不僅有老鷹、穿山甲，也有保育類的食蟹獴、水鹿等。) 主動追尋果實中水分的去向發現，流出的水順著裂縫滲入地底；小鼠和大鼠開始「地底探險」。 首先，他們發現了細細的伏流；循著水流見到地底下埋藏的「文化層」，有大蛇的化石、竹編、炸藥工廠的遺跡、還有過去先民運送物資的竹筏。這是「大地的記憶」，也是重要的文化資產。 二鼠乘著竹筏漂到一座濃硝酸湖，像徵龍崎炸藥工廠的歷史。炸藥的生產曾是這裡最大的工作來源，這份記憶刻在所有老一輩人的心底。 小鼠手上的火把引起了大爆炸，昏迷過去。醒來時，看見閃亮發光的鐘乳石穹頂。往前走去，是一座地底巨湖；原來這正是生命之樹的根源，樹根泡在豐沛的水中，流光延伸向上；後面還躲著一個個閃亮亮的眼睛，是隱藏的動物朋友們。 找到了「伏流」的地底湖，許多隱藏在地底的動物都出來了，穿山甲、食蟹獴、水鹿、鼬獾等，他們跟著三鼠用伏流水種植了整片的樹苗，期待大地長滿森林的那天到來。
Badland & Hidden Flow
Titled about water, but talks about the lack of water. At the beginning of the story, “the three rodents in Lonci” lived in an arid field. They lived on a giant tree. The colorful fruits with rich water sometimes fell from the tree, which became the food of the three cute rodents. They waited passively. ( The environment report of Niupu landfill construction in Longci mentions that there are no large mammals in Longci, and only three kinds of rodents live here, which are Squirrel, Shrew, and Black Rat. They are the so-called three rodents in Longci. After the teachers of Tainan Community University made an investigation, they found out that Longci had an abundant ecosystem and creatures, including eagles, pangolin, and Protected species such as Crab-eating mongoose, Formosan sambar, etc.) Afterward, Shrew and Black Rat decided to find out where water in the fruit went, and they found out that water went into the ground through the cracks. The two rodents embarked on their journey to the underground. At first, they found a little creek. Along the creek, they saw " the layer of culture” buried underground with the fossil of a colossal snake, some bamboo weaving, the relic of a giant dynamite factory, and some rafts which were used to deliver goods. This is the memory of the field and the important cultural assets. The two rodents got onto the raft and reached a lake full of concentrated nitric acid, which represents the history of the dynamite factory in Longci. The fabrication of dynamite used to be the largest source of work here. Now it has become the ineradicable memory for the elderly in Longci. The torch on Shrew’s hand caused a severe explosion. They fainted away immediately. When they recovered, they saw the glimmering roof with stalactites. Stepping forward, they saw an enormous underground lake. The lake nourished the tree of life with its root soaking in the water. Flowing light stretched upward. Behind the tree appeared numerous shiny eyes. They are hidden animals. The rodents found the underground lake, and brought the hidden animals out, including pangolins, Crab-eating mongooses, Formosan sambars, Formosan ferret-badgers, etc. They followed the three rodents to use the underground water to grow saplings, expecting the field to become a forest.
營火故事

Fruits fall down and form a lake. Animals drink water around the shore. The indigenous artist Iyo Kacaw from Hualien creates a natural dynamic: wind blows through the tree, and the fruits fall.

When the rain leaves, sunlight dries out the soaked seed. The seed sprouts in consolation, settling down on this field.
