Rivers of remembering, to the forgotten land 河流中銘記，土地上遺失
Looking for memories never lived from the land never stepped on, the time spent in the artist residency follows the Vltava River.
Through bodily recollection of a foreign land filled with unlived histories and indirect experiences, an atmosphere will be constructed through an installation of weaving threads, braiding beads, and fragmented drawings, among which moving images from reflections in Hong Kong and the Vltava River in Prague conversing in gaps of the space. Materials, reflections, and bodily encounters are placed in exchange, brewing kinship with layered memories.
“She wanted to see the Vltava.”
Your Spring is scattered over our Summer. Your hair joined with my hair. Her gaze tangled with your gaze. Unknown memories boil with unspoken words. I offer a river in search, rivers to be collected, and forgotten.
“To know we stray like a river and our faces vanish like water.”
在陌生的土地上尋找未曾經驗的記憶，這段藝術駐地的時間將順著伏爾塔瓦河流動。
以肉身潛入異國他鄉的歷史與二手經驗，此拾遺過程將融入由如編髮一般的勾線所組成的裝置作品中；玻璃珠與速寫碎片穿梭於勾線裡，從香港城市空間和布拉格伏爾塔瓦河中收集的流動影像在縫隙中交錯。物質、映像、與肉身觸覺共存於開放的交流場域之中，醞釀著打破記憶界限的親緣。
「她想看看伏爾塔瓦河。」
你的春天散落於我們的夏天。你的髮絲連著我的髮絲。她的目光勾著你的目光。未知的記憶在未曾訴說的言語中沸騰。我獻上一條始終在尋找的河流，關於許多被拾獲又遺忘的河流們。
「要知道我們就像河流一去不復返一張張臉孔水一樣掠過。」
