消融的过去 ｜ The melting pass
这是在2024年泰国Blur border国际行为艺术节期间的最后一件作品。
我将小时候与妈妈的合照挂起，不断地将照片上下拉扯，反复地落进水桶里 ，
水桶里的水混合了泥土、枯叶、草、泰国香水、红色丙烯。头顶挂着纸杯，
装着与水桶里一样的混合液体。
香味及泥土味浓烈的充满整个空间，我视线始终凝视着照片并重复拉扯直到
照片被充满混合物的液体消融掉。
I hung up my childhood photos and kept pulling them up and down, repeatedly dropping them into a bucket of water that contained a mixture of dirt, dead leaves, grass, Thai perfume, and red acrylic. Overhead hang paper cups containing the same mixture of liquids as in the bucket.
The scent and its intensity filled the entire space, and my eyes remained glued to the photographs and pulled repeatedly until they were dissolved by the mixture-filled liquid.
