Post-Show Report

From 08/2010 to 02/2011

In this post-show report, the half-year organical development of “Reclamation Exercise Eco Art” is displayed in the form of photography and video documentary. The energy required by the presentation of photography documentary is powered by an electricity generator manipulates by manpower pedaling (designed by Ir LO Kok-keung, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Department of Mechanical Engineering). The power generated is used for operating a 46 voltage television and a 16 voltage DVD player, to enable the viewers to gain first hand experience in production-consumption in an Eco way by generating the power to be used by themselves, hoping to allow the viewers to reconsider the ecological issues for resources consumption, so as to initiate the first step of Eco Art in Hong Kong.

展覽簡介：這展覽是藝術家的自白，記錄了她經驗人與人餐桌上的變異關係。中國人自古至今，視親人團於餐桌前吃飯，為美與親密的事。然而今天城市生活麻木，她和她，餐桌前對坐無言，吃飯而不知飯味兒，是天天實況。重建餐桌場景，藉此感恩生命犧牲，珍惜食物與人情。

installation, 2006

展覽簡介：這是A work made with the story that is burnt展覽中＜How to get closer to you, Forest＞一詩之變奏，同樣是詩創作先於展覽。以自製百多件甜點－－薑餅人，跟觀眾分享愛與喜悅。沒有什麼，比還感覺到親愛的人心跳，更值得高興。

Breathing

I do not know how to get close to accuracy.

Rituals cannot make me get close to cleverness.

But I know that

you,

who are standing right in front of me,

still have heartbeats.

Breathing in and out makes you not motionless.

I do not know how to get close to the sky

But I know that

my feet can still step on the soil.

I can gently breathe in your heartbeats.

A work made with the story that is burnt (USA)

名稱：A work made with the story that is burnt （美國）
裝置展覽及演出, 2006年

展覽簡介：反思出版事業的浪費，反省每一部出版書籍的責任。在作者出版了第9本書的2006年，她思考著紙與森林之關係。寫下了兩首詩，利用展覽及演出，表達沒有比出版無意義的書刊，更浪費森林的犧牲。

How to get closer to you, Forest
Cutting your trees,
sending them to the factory,
using low-priced printing oil.
Books are printed.
I can smell the smell of yours in the printed paper of the books.
You make things complete, but
your head and limbs are cut,
Your skin is peeled in strips.
Pieces of your flesh,

scatter on the floor.

All of them.

A work made with the story that is burnt
I tear, page and page of my book.
Inside, record my creations in four years.
Reconstruct, reform, realign.
I sit in front of them, and then,
digest the story that I wrote to represent my book.
The witch was cooking a bowl of warm herbal soup.
She climbed up a mountain to find wood.
The witch was cooking a bowl of warm herbal soup.
She got pure water from the lake.
Day by day,
failure following failure.
Each bowl of warm herbal soup is my emotion,
Each page of work is my soul.
Picking the witchy pair of scissors up,
a page becomes a paper child.
Burning, burning.
I Burn all of them away.
Release the dead in funeral rite,
My children can leave in ritual.
Ashes remain after the ritual of fire,
Green leaf will grow inside.
My work will grow inside.


一件用撕碎的故事來完成的作品
撕開，一頁頁屬於我的書。
書裡，記錄著四年來的創作。
任由它們重組、重構、重建。
坐在他們前面，
我取來一張椅子，
重讀為這本書而寫的故事。
女巫於裡面試著煲一碗暖的湯，
斬柴跑到山上去，水要從大湖裡取。
日復日的煲，失敗復失敗。
她每一次的煲湯，是我每一張的作品。
是一次的情緒起落，一個靈魂。
雙手提起，
把一頁頁剪成一個個孩子，
以儀式把孩子送走。
用火燒，火燒。
當他們全部的燒光，
塵粒沉澱。
用塵粒養育新葉，
用塵粒再雕塑作品。
葬禮幫助死人過渡，
儀式助我遠離。
