《艾拉》（2022-2025，持續延展的藝術計畫）
｜2022《艾拉—第一次造訪》衛武營馬戲平台、雲林國際偶戲節、桃園鐵玫瑰藝術節
｜2025《艾拉—相遇中之島》「We TA>IWAN台灣文化in大阪．關西世博」日本演出
｜2025《艾拉—寫生日：移動的雕塑》桃園鐵玫瑰藝術節
2022年，抱持著「我們要為未來留下什麼？」的提問，創造了《艾拉》。
「艾拉」是一個由陳柏潔所創造的角色，一位來自未來的12歲小學生。她穿越時空，前往過去進行田野調查，將她在不同時空中所遇見的人、事、物，以文字與圖像的方式記錄下來，並帶回未來與她的同學們分享。
這個角色並非單純的虛構設定，而是一個長期創作計畫中。在陳柏潔的創作實踐中，艾拉不僅是故事的主角，也是一種觀看世界的視角轉換。
她的出現，是陳柏潔對「異名者」概念探索中的第一個具象化形象— 一個擁有獨立世界觀與行動邏輯的存在。
在表演形式上，陳柏潔將艾拉的形式定義為肢體劇場創作，融合舞蹈、戲偶與現地環境的感知。每一次的創作，都根據作品所處的文化背景與空間語境進行調整與延展。
而在視覺敘事上，設計師陳鈺分作為艾拉的戲偶設計，同時也是繪製出屬於艾拉的「作業」筆記的圖文作者。作品也邀請攝影師加入，透過鏡頭為艾拉建立另一層觀看視角。這個視角時而是第三人稱的觀察者，時而又像內在旁白般的凝視— 介於紀錄與詮釋之間，讓觀者被引導進入艾拉所經歷的世界。
艾拉系列作品同時保有童趣、紀實與異時空交錯的觀察視角，也構成艾拉與世界連結的另一種語言。對陳柏潔而言，艾拉是一位真實存在的人物。她的存在與書寫，是藝術家持續回應身份、觀看與轉譯的方式，也是對藝術與生活邊界的持續實驗。
這部作品不斷演變，不斷生成，不預設終點。
艾拉的故事，正以多重形式逐步展開— 從劇場（場域）到繪本、從表演到展覽— 她像一個活著的計畫，在時間中慢慢長出更多樣貌。
In 2022, driven by the question “What do we want to leave behind for the future?”, Ayla was created.
Ayla is a character created by artist Po-Chieh Chen — a 12-year-old schoolgirl from the future. She travels across time to conduct field research in the past, documenting the people, places, and stories she encounters through writing and illustrations, which she brings back to share with her classmates in the future.
This character is not merely a fictional construct, but part of an ongoing artistic project. In Chen’s creative practice, Ayla is not only the protagonist of the narrative, but also a shift in perspective — a way of seeing the world through different lenses.
Ayla is the first embodied figure in Chen’s long-term exploration of the concept of “heteronyms”: a being with its own worldview and logic of action.
In terms of performance form, Chen defines Ayla is an artistic project, merging physical theatre, dance, puppetry, and site-responsive sensory practice. Each iteration of the work evolves in response to the cultural context and spatial environment in which it is situated.
The puppet design and illustrated “homework” notebooks of Ayla are created by designer Yu-Fen Chen, while invited photographers contribute an additional visual layer — sometimes as third-person observers, sometimes as inner monologues — hovering between documentation and interpretation, guiding audiences into Ayla’s lived experiences.
The Ayla series weaves together elements of playfulness, documentary realism, and intertemporal observation. It also forms a unique language through which Ayla connects with the world. For Chen, Ayla is a real presence. Her existence and documentation represent the artist’s ongoing response to questions of identity, perception, and translation — a continual experimentation at the edge of art and life.
This work is ever-evolving, continuously generating, and intentionally open-ended.
Ayla’s story is unfolding in multiple forms — from theater (and site-specific performances) to picture books, from live acts to exhibitions — like a living project that gradually grows new dimensions over time.
