本文以張永村2001年在智邦藝術基金會演出的行為藝術（Performance art)作品《祭拜畫 靈：乾坤不老》論述其以宗教祭儀的方式，透過儀式（ritual)的再現（represent)與自創的角色 一乾坤不老，表達對整個社會現象的觀察與批判；除了呈現祭儀本身與天地溝通的祈福與膜拜， 也加入本地文化素材與生活體驗 > 最終更像是有意暴露社會現象中的集體焦慮感。 文化研究學者斯圖亞特•霍爾（Stuart Hall)對於「再現」的意義延伸提出了「表徵」 (representation)的觀念，試圖以再現、表徵兩方面來看呈現（present)過程。「表徵」在其中 雜揉了整個文化符號的意義生產和流通，意即除了「再現」形式與扮演，還加入了話語與符號 意義的轉換而達成藝術家的意義「表徵」。 本文基於霍爾對再現、表徵的看法，試圖以此分析《祭拜畫靈：乾坤不老》作品中1.「再 現」祭儀與角色扮演2.透過話語及符號延伸的「表徵」意義，兩個部份。試圖說明作品除了祭 儀的「再現」與人物扮演作為「表達」手段外，其延伸的「表徵」意義正好說明藝術家所欲傳 達的不老與永恆。
