漫遊者

我以為自己是這個城市裏的「漫遊者」(Flâneur)。
開初是了無目的地在遊走,在重覆的日常中跟隨一直以來的步伐,不要偏離。然後在日常反覆的行為中,觀賞自己。
始終人是叛逆的,沒有偏差的行為才是最大的偏差。這樣的偏差,讓我看到藝術創作得以介入社會的空間;既非矯揉造作,也非空有藝術之名的華麗軀殼。
我相信事件多非偶然發生,其中必定有無法被記錄的緣由;漫遊是一種探索,也是讓自身變得完整的藝術行為。
質疑,質疑,是質疑讓我抗拒創作。不是來自他者的質疑,是自己從思考,到行動,到展示,一直不間斷的質疑。
質疑媒介,質疑方法,甚至質疑作品 能否被稱為作品。
喜歡這種質疑,但累的時候,會無法行動,身體變得僵硬。

 

Flâneur

I thought of myself as the ‘Flâneur’ in the city.
At first, I was wandering aimlessly, following the pace that I had been repeating in my everyday routine, without deviating from it. Then, in the mutable daily actions, I watch oneself.
I believe that things do not happen by chance, but for reasons that they cannot be recorded; wandering is an exploration and an artistic act that makes itself complete.
Humans are subversive after all, and the greatest deviation is to act without deviation. This deviation allows me to see the scope for artistic creation to intervene in society, neither as a pretension nor vanity in the name of art.
Questioning, questioning, questioning is what makes me resist creating. It is not the questioning from others, it is my own persistent questioning evolved from thinking, acting, presenting.
Questioning the medium, questioning the method, questioning whether the work can even be called a work.
I like that kind of questioning, but when I am tired, I can’t move and my body becomes stiff.
