◎蔡子岳
British artist Jason deCaires Taylor has created a sculpture museum at the bottom of the Atlantic. Museo Atlantico is 14 metres under the surface of the water, so is accessible only to scuba divers and snorkelers.
英國美術家泰勒在大西洋海底，創作一座雕塑美術館。這座「大西洋美術館」位於海面下14公尺處，因此只有用水肺、呼吸管的潛水夫才能進入。
Alongside a collection of figurative works that depict poignant global matters, the underwater gallery also comprises a sunken botanical garden, which responds to the region’s long standing relationship with art and nature.
除描寫令人怵目驚心的全球性事件的比喻性作品外，為呼應當地與美術和自然界長期和諧關係，這座海底美術館還包含一座水下植物園。
"The Rubicon" features a collection of 35 figures that walk towards a gate spanning the seabed, the main installation features an assembly of 35 figures walking towards a gate — a point of no return, or a portal to another world. the sea of people that make up ‘the rubicon’ are meticulously sculpted and carefully carved with hyper-realistic anatomical features, appearing as lifelike human relics suddenly frozen in time.
其中一組名為「Rubicon」的組合，由35尊走往通行口的人像組成，人像走向跨於海床上的通行口，象徵走上不歸路或者通往另一世界。精心塑造的這35尊人像是以超寫實、解剖學風格雕刻，彷彿是凍結在時空中的人類遺跡。
The project creates a large scale artificial reef to aggregate local fish species.
這項計畫是要製造用以聚魚的大型人工礁石。
