自然空間，對不同的人來說，具有南轅北轍的意義。定義者的位置，決定其中的可能意義，並賦予個別性與特殊性。空間具有何種屬性，必須「視情境而定」，關鍵在於社會實踐，取決於人類對空間的創造及使用方式。

在現代工業社會之中，旅行與遷居，已是不可逃避之生活常態。然而，不論頻率高低，在移動中建立暫居或永駐地—家園—的行動，反映著某種「出」(離開、喪失)與「進」(回返、獲得)的循環規律。

吳繼濤與姚瑞中近年的風景創作，涉及地方與空間二者辯證關係—安全與威脅、穩定與自由、移動與暫停，已成為其中最重要的對話核心。對他們二人來說，進/出「地方」的行動，分別代表游/牧的不同歷程與結果。

二人游牧風景的交集，在於所謂的「家園的創造」。離開與回返，本來就是家園概念的一體兩面，主體位置及客體需求有所不同。故而，風景自此成為一種帶有記憶、書寫及「地方化」特質的社會實踐。

To different people, the concept of natural space might hold extremely opposite meanings. The position of the definer determines its possible meaning, while providing it with an individuality and distinctiveness. The particular attributes of space must be “dependent on the circumstances.” The key lies in social practices, which depends on the creation and method of use of space by people. 

In modern industrial society, travel and relocation have become an inescapable norm of life. However, regardless of the frequency, the action of establishing a temporary or permanent residence during a move reflects a type of cyclical rule involving an“exit” (leave, loss) and “entrance” (return, receive). 

The recent landscape works by Wu Jitao and Yao Juichung involves the dialectical relationship between location and pace - security and threat, stability and freedom, and movement and suspension have all become amongst the most important core of dialogue. For both of the artists, the action of entering/exiting a location respectively represents the different courses and results of wandering/herding. 

The meeting of two people roaming a landscape lies in the so-called “creation of a home.” Leaving and returning has always formed both sides to the concept of a home. Subjective positioning and objective needs are different. Therefore, the landscape has since become a type of social practice that holds memories, writing, and “localized” characteristics.
