發明你的字句,操練你的發聲,給未有名字的起個名,為碎片堆築一條路。Share it if we deserve it: thoughts on living and being, poetry, automatic writing… silences, speechlessness, noise, soundings… fragmentary thoughts in search of a path, elliptical sentiments, the unspeakable…

One Take, many iterations (2000-2020), the morphing life of a moment 一鏡到底:迭代延綿(2000-2020)

Between 2000 and 2020, a 6'38" single-take video footage has been turned into a generative series of art moments crossing artistic genres -- from videography, vocalization, sound collage, performance, sound sculpture, back to videography -- all manifesting automatism as a principle, and improvization as a main artistic method. Only the maker Linda Lai herself could elaborate on this secret history of emergence.

Winsome Wong / 𝑳𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒂’𝒔 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚 (Hong Kong, the Philippines) 安娜的派對,香港、菲律賓。

Space-action-interpretation. Cluster-distribution. Network-dispersion. Three locales. Distanced intimacy. Past is the present. FPC member Winsome Wong’s first solo at the Floating Projects. 以空間實作為演繹。簇的分配成為延散的網路。三種實地,遙遠的扣緊。從前就在當下。「據點。句點」成員黃慧心首度據點打開門。

《海濱》 (創作性短篇)”Riveria” (creative writing)

In one long take in words, perhaps with folds of internal montage, Martin Yeung takes us into a zone of truncated space, automatic acts and fragmented speech, like the hollow in a cracked mirror. Familiar or not, it is Yeung’s way to conclude his four years of undergraduate education. 楊錫齋站在四年大學畢業峰涯留下的足跡?這短篇像夢,同時是厚潤的筆觸,一筆到底,形骸飄晃著,細緻綿密,卻只聽見回音。她一句又一個她的再一句,似曾相識。一鏡到底。折叠無盡的蒙太奇。
