從日常生活中撿拾有趣的物件﹐擷取有趣的聲音﹐意象與動作﹐然後想像自己在三度空間裡畫畫。我思考的是如何將這些個別部分拼貼連結成一個充滿動能而有趣的總體藝術。其結果也是一個較接近視覺藝術的表演﹐而非傳統劇場表演

I used some interesting objects, sound, images, and action I pick from daily life.  I was like painting in a three-dimensional space.  I thought about how to collaborate or collage all these parts together to form a total art full of kinetic energy and fun.  The result is a performance closer to visual art rather than a traditional theatre.

愛與痛  中國現場藝術 

 
針對命名「愛與痛」的活動而做的行為。在活動進行當中﹐我悄然躺在觀眾腳下﹐用雙手圈住他/她的腳﹐兩人就這麼共處一段時間﹐直到觀眾抽離雙腳離開我的懷抱為 止。當被圈住的對象/觀眾離去後﹐我便啟身恢復站姿﹐並繼續尋找下一位意欲圈住的對象。

 It’s a performance done in an event entitled as Love & Pain.  During the event, I walked among the audience and quietly lied down to hold the feet of an audience with my arms.  We stayed together in this position for a certain period of time.  It ended up when the audience walked away from my “hugs,” and left my surrounding arms empty.  Then I stood up again and looked for next audience to hold.

我徒手垂打桌上番茄﹐以刀插蕃茄請觀眾吃。之後矇住觀眾雙眼﹐再以刀插蕃茄請矇眼觀眾吃。多數觀眾張口接受﹐只有一位拒絕張口。

I hit the tomatoes with my hands after which I served the audiences with tomato stick on a knife.  After that, I folded their eyes and, again, served them with tomato stick on the knife.  Most of them accepted it, while only one of them refused to open her mouth.

地上有一長條黑布﹐中間車線成兩條布隧道。我以書寫邀請一位觀眾和我一起同時個自爬過那隧道。爬出布隧道後﹐我在桌上以雙手做一些動作﹐然後邀請那位觀眾加入與我互動。慢慢我開使用力﹐友好的互動突變成兩人雙手的角力。最後兩人在紙上和談﹐結束這趟既友亦敵的手語過程。

A long black cloth was sewed into two tunnels.  I wrote to invite an audience to crawl through the tunnels with/without me.   Then I did some movements with my hands and asked him to join me.  At first, we have a nice interaction.  However, as I strengthened little by little, the friendly interaction became something like wrestling. We even bit each other’s…. Finally, we negotiated by writing/talking on the paper, and thus ended this process of half friend and half enemy.

帶 著 作 品 去 旅 行

在民宿房間裡﹐我與觀眾互換衣物﹐以異於尋常方式穿戴上身。

In the room of a hotel, I interchanged what I wore with the audience in a playful and absurd way.
