等待

今年的雪晚了一點 但其實早已進入冬天
等待著某些特定事件來證明哪些故事的成立是共通的習慣

於是 活在期待中 等待著等待

再次約見面已是冬天 隔天街上雪覆蓋著
雖然還沒一起看見雪 但那段路還是很美

給過去和未來的新城市

台北 在以前對於鄉下小孩子來說是個很遠的地方
老爸常說 他小孩子都待在京城 意指台北和高雄
隨著這幾年所有交通工具的發達 城鄉差距縮小了點
其實台北不是那麼遙遠

台北很遠

08年要去台北時 心裡非常忐忑 那是一個好像鄉下小孩子夢想的地方
林強的那首向前走在那個年代中的許多人心裡埋下了很深的意義
所以會覺得 那是去奮鬥而不是去玩
我想我的階段性台北任務 或許說是第一篇 在那兩年內達成了

接下來想去哪 我想去倫敦 紐約
我喜歡人家笑著對我說 有夢最美
然後我就把夢捧在手心上在若干年後粉碎那些人的質疑

記憶中的食物

那年在巴黎吃到了在印象中很深刻的食物
經過幾年後 再去那個城市兩次 也都找不到
在第二次找尋時有了個想法
那家店不會在同一個地方等了我十年
也許不是我記憶錯誤 只是店早就關了或搬了

那年在台北最想念的食物是必勝客 因為不能一個人吃

Some journey have already finished at the beginning

旅程在開始時已是終點 直到釋懷了一切 才又重新享受這些美好的過程

Two ways

Every time, before I start a new journey, 
I always think about what will happen and how it will end. 
I try to imagine every scenario that could occur, but when 
the journey finishes all I can remember is the real things.
I can't remember what I assumed before.
The real and beautiful memories have already replaced everything else.

/
Some journeys have already finished at the beginning, 
it's only when you relive things that you begin to enjoy them.

Departure

Departure
在機場中這個字的中文為出境

出境是離開 也是一種出發
許多旅程在一開始早已是終點了
直到開始享受這趟旅程

學會了離開 然後出發

Pride

跟我一起來愛丁堡的朋友 Andrew 最近剛完成他的畢業展
主題是關於他想跟他母親說的一些事
時間點大部份是開始於他在機場走的前一晚
我們是一起來的 所以在他那本書所說的點點滴滴我幾乎都有同感
包括他覺得媽媽沒來機場可能是害怕離別的場面

老爸你身體有好一點嗎
老媽妳按下那個三角形就可以放這個影片了



收錄於尋賢啟事 這張cd我有 如果妳想拿出來放在妳最愛的播放機放的話
不過妳可能要找好幾下 我想是收在書房的小盒子內 國語cd的
這首歌是寫給媽媽的 那時要出國前在家裡旁邊的KTV朋友點來唱 那時候我好認真的看歌詞含義 然後問我朋友這是寫給爸爸還是媽媽的 他們說不知道 不過他們說有一次大象一邊唱一邊摟著碰仔說這首歌在講他們一起長大的故事 這是我聽過最沒水準的說法 不過隨人解讀


那時要離開台灣時我就好想把這個影片開在電腦上 留一張紙條 請你們從機場回來後再看
不過我還是做不到 一年過去了 希望等下的我會有勇氣按下發佈文章

十二月回台灣 最想做的事不是吃東西 不是印作品 不是想逛百貨公司 我一點也不想念義民街的鱔魚意麵和對面的乾麵 米糕我也忘了去吃 也不是想陪那時的女朋友 我只是想看看老爸好不好

記得唸國中時 有一次肚子痛到臉色發白 去保健室剛好遇到老爸在隔壁訓導處聊天
他沒說什麼就扶著我坐上摩托車 我靠在他背後 那時的我覺得有什麼事他都會擋在我前面
就這樣到了鎮上的醫院
十二月回家  一直陪他去醫院 他生病我不開心 但帶他去醫院我是很開心的
雖然老爸以前只要我一回家他就會常摧我趕快回去唸書 包括去年回台灣也是 
但是我知道他是開心的

妳看完也不要跟我講什麼 妳知道我不習慣這種場面的 然後妳可以叫爸爸來看嗎

就這樣 希望有一天你們能驕傲的喊我的名字




-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
爸叫我留言﹕老爸身體漸好!會高興看到你滿身的光采!
媽一直很高興有你這個兒子!

Alone trip but not lonely

I phoned you here ten years ago, and I stopped your little dream at that moment, now I'm chasing my dream, but you have already go away.

I'm here to find the time we had eleven years ago.

You are parts of my memories


街道上 路上行人匆匆如往常
小雨過後 放晴的天空特別的蔚藍
她不在的那個冬天 氣溫異常的低
在春天來臨之前 我努力記得她的溫度
認識她應該是在冬天之後
只是她提早進入了我的回憶中

路口

岔口之後的街道更趨於平行

路燈的間距逐漸拉開著 倒影不再重疊

就這樣 一直到了以後

走著走著

Review

   


Scenes from the memory
There are two parts to this project. The first is I take random photos on the street and I either think about what the stories in each of these photos are, and I decide what the stories is before I take photos. The second part is also from these photos. I ask some people to create a story or just describe what they think about the photo they chose. They write or draw the story or description the photo and then send it back to me. I think it will be interesting to know what the different thinking and interpretation of the same photos by different people. It could inspire me.

Design
Scenes from the memory


記憶中的場景
這是我在愛丁堡這些日子以來的回憶 分成兩部分 第一部份我在街上隨機拍照片然後再去想故事 另外一個是我先想好故事再去拍

第二部份我請朋友挑一張這些場景的照片寫上他們想說的故事再寄給我
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Behind
I have a wall in my room in Taiwan. There are many things on that wall, a map, some important numbers or dates, and photos. It has already been repainted many times but my paint skills still need to improve. The wall still shows the old face usually. I would like to use ‘behind’ as a title but not ‘behind the wall’. It is good if people are made to think more about the meaning behind the title. ‘Behind’ is just a hint that could mean anything.


之後
我在臺灣的房間有一面牆 牆上貼滿了許多東西 地圖還有寫上一些重要的號碼或日期跟照片 牆已經剝落也重新粉刷過好幾次 但是我的油漆技巧還有很大的進步空間 我想要用'之後'這個名字但不一定是指在牆之後 而是讓人去思考在任何事物背後都有其含義 這個詞只是一個隱喻
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Double Side
Memory is like a melody; it could be a good or a broken melody.
Someone may choose to fix it. Someone turns around and runs away.

兩面
回憶像旋律一樣美好 但有可能是好的或壞的 有些人選擇去修復有些人選擇逃避 底片在這是OK蹦的意思 吉他轉另一個面是好的那一面
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Memory Collection
Translation
The original concept was to print a music score on a film to present the memory as a melody. My tutor suggested to me that ask people to play the melody and then record it.
I choose another way to finish this idea. I asked people to draw their feelings about a memory on the guitar chord and I translated it to a real chord. The most interesting part of this project is about the translation.

蒐集回憶
轉換
本來是想要把音符印在底片上來表達出這個想法 老師建議我去找人演奏他們的回憶 我想並不是那麼容易找到那麼多會演奏樂器的人 因此我請人在空的吉他和弦上畫上他們所認為的回憶該是什麼意思 接著我再去轉換
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Memory Collection
Things in 2006
For this project, I visited people and asked them what their special memories in 2006 were and then I typed them on my laptop and used a camera to take photos.

蒐集回憶
2006年
我訪問了一些人在2006年有什麼特別的回憶然後我打在電腦上用相機直接拍電腦
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Memory Collection
Postcrossing
Postcrossing is the online postcard crossing project where I can leave some messages to get the postcard or texts I prefer. I ask people to describe their memory about the postcard they sent to me. Some of the postcards I got have really good stories. Having the special memories of others, I am thinking about how to extend this project, such as to collect these postcards to become a piece of art work.

蒐集回憶
交換明信片
這是一個明信片交換網站
我留下的訊息是請要寄卡片給我的人能寫上對於那張卡的回憶或任何故事
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Stack
People built the building, but memories continue to stack on. The memories from everyone are different, but in the same place. Some of them are good memories, and some of them are not, just like the different colour in it.

堆疊
人們建造的房子 回憶繼續堆疊 而每個人堆於同一個建築所賦予的強烈程度也不同 所以有了高度之分 顏色則是表達好的或不好的回憶
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Things in every December seem like the same
Every December comes again

This is a sample of the idea I want to express. It’s about what I did think about what I did in the same moment last time. We memorize also forget something.

There are two directions for this idea, and I am still trying to figure them out. The original idea was we memorize an action and through memorization we forget. And the second idea is that when we are in a special time or place we try to think about what we did in the same moment last time.

每年的十二月似乎都一樣
我們常會在特別的時間或地點想起上次我們在同樣的時刻或地方跟誰或者是在幹嘛
內文
十二月是個浪漫的時刻 有著聖誕節和新年
你或妳的愛人的生日也可能在這個月份
我時常在每年的十二月想著去年的十二月在做些什麼事
但是我還是常想不起來我做了什麼事或跟哪些人一起渡過了十二月
在我的人生中已經有過27個十二月 但是我已忘了其中的大部份
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The road named Memory
I have chosen writing to present this idea. I want to express memory and people are on the same line. If you avoid something in your memory, it is still on the same line. The only way to escape is to have distance.

回憶的路上
我們跟回憶在同一個直線上 即使跟回憶中碰見或錯過的事不再相遇卻仍然欣賞著同樣的風景

內文
我們在回憶的路上 限速是50 妳在我前幾天出發因此我再也看不到妳 在這些日子我不停地追著妳的影子 突然間我發現所有事已經不再像以前了 我們只是兩個在回憶路上的陌生人 再見
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Objects and Scenes
I put all the objects and scenes that could connect to memory, and I will try the ideas with some of them.

物件與場景
一些想法的關聯性
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Delivery
The idea for this project was from the trip to Paris. When I was walking on the street, I had an idea. If a memory disappears, is it still a memory? With this in mind, I tried to use some ways to record a memory. I bought a book then took some pages from it to write some words on and then mailed it to myself.

快遞
這是在巴黎旅行所想到的 當我走在街上時我想著 如果回憶消失了那還是回憶嗎 我去買了一本書把其中兩頁撕下 分別在巴黎及巴塞隆那寄回了給自己
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Judge
Keric is a high school senior from China. We met through Postcrossing. He told me he has some stories to tell me through the cards he designed.
From the cards he sent and the stories he told, I am more certain of my research and what I want to do in the future. I like writing and the definition of writing.

I am not sure what feeling his stories are meant to convey, but after I read it I feel it is about memory as a judge. Memories are in the past, but are it still worth our hatred or the concentration of our minds. After all, for good or bad, they are still your memories and precious. Sometimes, we say people live in the past, and I think that because they are constantly judging their memories.

批判
Keric是一位在中國唸高中的學生透過明信片交換網站跟我聯絡 他想要說一些他的故事給我知道 從他寄給我的卡片中 我想到了批判 當然不是說他在批判他的回憶 只是就是想到了這個字

於是我想到了我們要如何去批判我們的回憶或者是說我們能? 我們該去嗎? 一直活在過去的人就是因為一直在批判他們的回憶
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Fragile
I choose a film to present a memory. This is one of the experiments I tried. Some memories are fragile.

破碎
這是我用底片當實驗的其中一個作品 回憶是破碎的
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Fridge
Memory is just like the food. (Freezer in Taiwan is on the top) You classify them and then put them in the freezer. Sometimes you forget it or you don’t want to use it, talk about it. When you need it, you take it from your freezer and thaw it. You try to taste it, and you try to own it again.

冷凍庫
回憶像食物一樣冷藏著(台灣的冷凍庫在上頭) 你會把他們分類放好有需要時再拿出來再一次擁有 有時也會忘記
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Drag
The idea for this project came from my dream. I had a dream about a memory device, a high technology machine, but I couldn’t remember the details after I woke up. I think about it again and again, and I got another idea.

I wanted to try the structure design with many things. I chose the clock because it present the time, lamp for people, and radio for the variation. In the beginning, I classified the hour hand for the memory, minute for the variation, like the environment changed, because we can know the information from the radio and make some decisions. The second hand connects to the lamp which means people. I want to say the memory is the biggest one, and people are just a little thing in their memory. Then I felt maybe we just come with memories, so I switched the hour hand for people, and second hand for memory. I did this also because our memories drag at our emotions, and somehow we go with it, but we don’t always know it.

This work is about memory creating people. It is the past, and I want to do my other project about people creating memory for the opposite side, I would like to say that this one is the future.


牽引
有一天我做了一個夢 關於一個回憶的高科技裝置 我是一個工程師
醒後我就忘了那台機器的細節 我只畫出一個簡單的形狀
後來我想要試著用結構性的東西來延伸這個夢 我用了時鐘 燈泡 收音機 分別代表 回憶 人 環境
一開始我是把人放在秒針上 因為我覺的人是最渺小的存在自己的回憶中 所以回憶是時針
而收音機是分針 一個媒介 收音機就是一個變數代表資訊的獲得 進而改變了一些事
後來我把回憶放在秒針 我想回憶應該是秒針 回憶牽引的我們的情感
像秒針牽動時針與分針一般
