Dimension Variable
To be born is to enter a world already fully formed—an era of established structures and systems. Buildings, shops, roads, parks, people, images… Behind these surfaces lie countless isolated ideologies and concepts, each one an accumulation of past knowledge and experience. At the same time, they quietly restrict the imagination, limiting what lies beyond familiar borders.
As we drift through daily routines, we sometimes encounter moments of curiosity; at other times, we abandon values that have grown obsolete. Information pushes us forward like waves. Our anxious steps falter, unsteady, as if we might slip into the rolling tide. In this vast sea, is there still a pure land untouched?
Memory and experience leave behind emotional residues—passages we cannot ignore. Between the present and the past, a distance opens: a gap between the new and the old. Through recollection, speculation, reconstruction, rumination, and deduction, we search for ways to settle ourselves.
New and old; looking at you; looking at myself; I have been here.
當生下來的時候,已置身充分建設及發展的時代。那裡有建築、商鋪、道路、公園、人們、影像…… 表象背後,眾多被孤立的,每一個意識形態或概念,是前人知識與經驗累積成的視角,又同時壓制想像力超越邊界。
在規律的生活裡流離浪蕩,偶爾找上興趣;偶爾割捨過時的價值。訊息如浪推人步前,步伐急起來跌跌撞撞,一頭栽進浪濤裡翻滾。旺洋裡,是否再無淨土?
從回憶與經歷中剩下情感的點記起,那些無法忽視的段落。當下與過去的思想距離造成新舊落差,喚起重塑、反芻、推演等思辨過程,為一己安身立命。
新與舊;看看你;看看自己;曾到來。
