FEMKE(2016)單頻錄像, 4’30”

我與遊蕩的Femke走了一段長長的路,我們談到動物與森林,海灣與北方,自身和皮膚。因為遇到Femke, 我才來到H↑H旅程的終點。

FEMKE,2016, single channel video, 4’30”

Walked with the drifter Femke, we talked about animal and forest, ocean bay and north, yourself and your cell. Femke brought me to the destination of the journey H↑H.

H↑H是一個探索對陌生人的懸念與依靠的旅程,並開始一系列關於必然與偶然關係的創作 。

這是在紐西蘭駐留期間的創作,是一個回應北島鄰居對搭順風車(hitchhike)的抗拒及恐懼,也是一個為「往北走」而尋找理由的旅程。旅程中不讓自己有目的,但也不盡是迷路般,把所有微小的東西視作提示,跟隨它們,然後看看北方於我是甚麼意思。

《H↑H》成就了一個400公里的旅程與兩個錄像創作《Femke》《Follow》。

 
 
 

H↑H is a journey exploring the suspended thoughts and reliance on strangers, which opens up a series of creative works on inevitability and randomness.

This work was created during my residence in New Zealand in response to the reluctance to and fear of hitchhiking of my neighbour on North Island. This is also a journey to look for reasons to ‘go north’. I kept this journey aimless and yet didn’t lose my way totally. I picked up little things as hints, followed them and found out what the north meant to me.

H↑H made happen a 400-km journey and two video works, Femke and Follow.
