[ Serendipity ]

本次誠品會員日的主題「關於美好的想像」，我們下意識地連結到了身為會員在誠品空間中所取獲的消費者體驗。徘徊在誠品充滿書的長廊中，拿起一本小說，輕觸書皮，隨意翻開書頁後讀了幾段，文中湊巧在描述你前一天才看過的電影；又或不經意地抬起頭，眼前就是一本工具書，提供了各式方法解決你近期的待辦事項。幽微的震盪頻率在人與物的相知相惜間打破了機率的法則，使我們與知識的偶遇層見迭出，是多麼美好的生活篇章。書店的存在之所以必要，是為了在這個依賴網路消費的購物車時代，提供人與書本的關係更多溫度與景深，並從而開拓知識傳遞的更多可能性。

The theme of this year's Eslite Members' Day, "Imagine the Good", was subconsciously linked to the consumer experience we get as members in the Eslite space. Wandering through the book-filled corridors, picking up a novel, touching the spine, casually flipping the pages and reading a few paragraphs. The article happens to describe a movie you saw the day before; or you accidentally lift it up, a reference book in front of you, offering a variety of solutions to your recent problems.

『偶然力Serendipity』，此詞源自於十四世紀的波斯神話《The Three Princes of Serendip》，描述錫蘭國王計畫磨鍊三位王子，於是讓他們徒步旅行各地，培養對應偶發事務的處理能力；而這三位王子總是能靠著意外和智慧發現一些蛛絲馬跡，進而解決問題。後來十八世紀時，英國作家Horace Walpole在某次機緣下買到一幅他渴望已久的肖像畫，而且還無意間找到了非常適合它的畫框，一連串偶然的驚喜發現，讓他想起了《The Three Princes of Serendip》的故事。所以他在寫給好友的信中，創造了Serendipity這個詞，來表達「因為一連串的巧合，巧妙地發現了原本未刻意探究的珍奇事物」這份心情。

綜合Serendipity這個詞彙所帶出的意象和體悟，我們將裝置的輪廓設定以兩本轉化過的「立體書」呈現。在左右牆面設計出同時具有「翻閱空間」與「故事架構」的兩件作品，並以書和知識的空間性和敘事性做為兩個主軸延伸出形式和方向。

"Serendipity", this word is derived from the 14th-century Persian myth “The Three Princes of Serendip”. Later, in 1754, coined by Horace Walpole, suggested by the title of a fairy tale in which the heroes “were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of”.

To synthesize the imagery and insight brought by the word Serendipity, we set the outline of the installation in two transformed “pop-up books”. On the left and right walls, we designed two works with both "flipping space" and "story structure", using the spatial and narrative aspects of books and knowledge as the two main axes to extend the form and direction.
