日常生活的再開啟：北澤潤創作發表
深入社區，和居民對話，並且透過住民本身的力量展開與平常不同的生活，是北澤潤常用的創作手法。他在日本各地執行過數次的「Living Room」計劃，以都市周邊的集合住宅商店街或傳統市場為主要場所，將無人使用的空店鋪佈置成公共的「客廳」，向當地居民募集家具，舉辦以物易物的活動，跟隨不同物件來到空間，活動性質也跟著轉變。不論是因為交換到鋼琴而舉辦的音樂會，因為交換到廚具所展開的週末廚房，或者是交換到投影機而開始的蚊子電影院，所有活動都是由住民一起思考舉辦。而更進一步的「Sun Self Hotel」計劃則是透過社區居民的力量，改造因為社區高齡化和少子化而空出來空間，成為居民自製的旅館，在合作的過程中，重新緊密高樓大廈生活模式下的鄰里關係。本次接受策展人葉佳蓉邀請，在「浪漫的地理：藝術家田野調查既展演計劃」當中，北澤潤選定台北最早的國宅「南機場國宅」進行創作研究的據點，二戰之後曾經是最新潮的國民住宅，在五十年後同樣面臨居民高齡化和都市發展等問題，透過藝術計畫，北澤潤將對日常生活提出新的可能性。
