To glimpse the boundaries of norms is to begin moving fluidly between regulation and autonomy—so fluidly, in fact, that one may occasionally lose the ability to gauge those norms altogether. When indicators are dismantled, can aesthetics still exist within a framework that lacks anchorage?
Repeated reflection and observation of the paradigms of creative meaning in modern civilization—especially the layout and rhythm of urban construction—reveal a contrast between city planning and domestic space. A dazzling array of everyday products stretches from storefronts into the interiors of living and dining spaces, where functionality links convenience with the instant gratification of desire, leaving no room to breathe.
Here, construction—whether public or private—strikes the ground like machinery piercing skin, embedding the medicine of power deep within. The values promoted by norms have become habitual mainstream. But what exactly are they preserving?
Standing at the head of a bridge, I film the familiar; the ubiquitous; scenes both dilapidated and under construction. To stand there, where pedestrians stream past, is to be watched. To linger with a tripod and camera is to invite others to look in the same direction—or to pause.
Tap once; leap once. And then—silhouettes and pinpricks on the high bridge.
得見規範的邊界，遊走規範與自主間變得自然，偶爾甚或失去拿捏規範的能力。破除指標，處於沒有憑依的準則裡還有美學嗎？
一再思辨與觀察現代文明裡諸般創造意涵的典範，尤是城市建設的佈局與節奏。城市相對家居空間佈置，琳琅滿目的日常產品自商鋪延展至起居飲食的室內空間，功能聯結便利及即時的慾望填滿生活，一絲也沒法喘息。
這裡的建設，公共或私有也好，每一台機械敲擊地表，如刺穿皮膚深埋權力的藥。規範提倡的價值成為主流習慣，它正在維護什麼？
站在橋頭，拍攝熟悉的；到處可見的；一個個既破落又建設中的場景。佇立於那行人絡繹的橋頭會被注視；待著並放置腳架及攝錄機，途人會依拍攝方向觀看甚或同樣待一待。
敲一敲；跳一跳；還有高橋上的剪影與刺點。
