巴黎地下鐵藝術案例與省思

葉昭甫 1

摘要

1900 年巴黎因應世界博覽會而興建首條地下鐵，民眾的移動從地面慢慢轉移到地底下，

人們開始過著現代土撥鼠的生活，對都市的記憶已逐漸淡忘，對生活區域的認同也已喪失殆
盡，只記得自身家門、工作地點以及無窮無盡的地下隧道。這個歷史包袱沉重難解，到了 60
年代法國學運期間，更反諷巴黎人的生活不外乎地鐵、工作、睡覺，把地下鐵與資本主義大
工廠的單調與缺乏意義相提並論。基於巴黎人對於生活的深層堅持，嘗試把每個時期皆有的

當代藝術風潮與生活特性，透過地下鐵公共藝術的設置，讓不同角落烙印下屬於該時代的故
事。本文即針對各時期的地下鐵藝術風格將巴黎百年地下鐵的公共藝術大略分成十個階段進
行說明，另巴黎地下鐵藝術發展本質與過程也可作為臺灣推動大眾運輸公共藝術的省思。

關鍵字 : 巴黎地下鐵、公共藝術、移動都市意象

An Introduction to and Reflection on Paris Métro Art

Yeh Chao-Fu 1

Abstract

Paris built its first Métro line in 1900 for the hosting of the Universal Exposition, World's
Fair. People's movements began to leave ground level to go underground and they lived like
groundhogs. They began to gradually lose their memory of the city and could no longer recognize

their living area. People remembered nothing but their homes and workplaces, as well as the endless
underground tunnels. This historical burden was heavy and hard to ease. During the time when the
student movement occurred in 1968, Parisian life was satirized as nothing more than subway, work,
and sleep. The subway was even mentioned in the same breath as boring and meaningless capitalist
factories.
Parisians have a strong insistence on living a meaningful life. Contemporary art styles and

lifestyle characteristics can be seen in terms of Métro public art from different periods. Through its
public art the Paris Métro has become a living museum of style, history, and artwork. It leaves a
historical story on every corner. This paper is mainly aimed at depicting the art styles of Paris Métro
in different period of time, and how it separated the Paris Métro art into ten phases. Additionally,
the development of Paris Métro art can be used as a point of reflection for Taiwan when promoting

public art in public transport.

Keywords: Paris Métro, public art, moving urban image
