拳击架下的呼声 ｜ The voice under the boxing wood
这是在2024年泰国Blur border行为艺术节期间的第二件作品。18天的艺术节里，所有参与艺术家都将跟随艺术节安排在泰国当地进行场地调研、参观现场、斟
酌方案。去到第二个场地时，我被海里的这件木架吸引了，我问当地人这是用
来干什么的，他们的回答是我怎么也想不到的：这是一个具有娱乐用途的装置。当地人会坐在木头的两端进行拳击游戏，谁先落水谁就输了。
我决定利用这件拳击装置，第二天我找到一名泰国当地妇女，在我做作品的整
个期间举着镜子将光反射到我身上，跟随我的移动。我吹着口哨倒退走进海里
的木架子旁 ，脱掉衣服挂在架子上面朝大海等待衣服微干时，穿上走回岸边。
During the 18 days of the festival, all the participating artists will follow the festival's arrangement to conduct site research, visit the sites, and consider their proposals in Thailand. When I went to the second site, I was attracted by this wooden frame in the sea. I asked the locals what it was used for, and their answer was something I could not have imagined: it was an installation for entertainment purposes. The locals would sit on the ends of the wood and play a boxing game, where the first one to fall into the water would lose.
I decided to capitalize on this boxing installation, and the next day I found a local Thai woman to hold up a mirror to reflect light back at me throughout the duration of my work, following my movements. I whistled and walked backwards into the sea to a wooden rack, took off my clothes and hung them on the rack towards the sea and waited for them to dry slightly, then put them on and walked back to the shore.
帮我举镜子的当地女性中途疲惫，换成艺术家 Stein Henningsen 帮忙
The local woman who was holding up the mirror for me got tired and was replaced by Stein Henningsen, the artist.
