    Macau is a giant construction site

    Macau is a giant construction site澳門是個大工地Mar, 2025MOP/HK$80, NT$320This is my 7th zine. Buy here 這個城市永遠在建設。數不盡的挖路工程,土地如河流般被挖開,隨處可見大型度假項目蓄勢待發,怪手機械合謀,集體擱淺在路邊,在舊建築中架起異度空間,車輛永遠要改道,臨時路面十幾年後仍在商討完工時間,砂石中埋藏着城市發展的夢想大計,日落餘暉反射在金光玻璃幕牆,映照出我們如醉的雙眼。 我們都被呼籲要忍讓,一時的不便是為了未來更美好的生活,等待着新的生活被搬到陌生的場所和街道,從頭開始。他們向大家承諾,等到明年春暖花開時,所有不便的傷感都會一掃而空,曾經有人說,面對城市烏煙瘴氣的發展,他只能孤獨地成長,默默地等待。 整個澳門像被炸過一樣,坑疤中存在着兩種人:一種在找尋地底寶藏,另一種則在上面播種。工地的空間像極了一個異空間,原則上永遠只能臨時存在,除了施工者之外,我們對裏面一無所知,也無法通過任何途徑理解和想像,在城市身邊快閃出現,不斷陪伴我們成長,但裏面的活動卻與日常生活截然不同,永遠被圍欄屏蔽,被隔離的奇怪過渡場所。 每個施工地盤都在向人們強烈隱喻,過去還未過去,未來還未出現,現在只是個廢墟,三者的疊加顯得荒謬,對於灌輸破壞是為了重建這類理想太過粗暴,對未來變更好的暗示又如此迷人。 這些空間隨時間流變、粗糙和混亂,不經意地引起了我的興趣,我沒有刻意詳細記錄,大多只是生活或散步中的隨拍,挑選了二〇二一年後所經過的部分地點,片面地側寫某個角度的城市。

    Searching for design files: city, theatre. 

    Searching for design files: city, theatre. 搜尋設計檔:城市、劇場 Nov, 2022 MOP/HK$80, NT$320 This is my 6th zine. 平面設計和檔案之間的關係,一直愛恨交纏。在進入離散、不連續的代碼時代,創作過程往往冰冷,面對發光螢幕,設計師的日常經驗有可能無意中被缺席。由想像到完成品之間,產生難以預期的種種文件,往往如幽靈般相遇:搜尋網站提供的無限靈感混亂地放置,需長時間消化的文稿散落檔案夾、偶發對話、花時間去篩選的圖片淹沒了原始意圖⋯⋯直到完成品顯現,一切的檔案都是在等候被描寫,被丟棄,被改寫,但過程中所有材料都不是設計,通通都只是為了指涉設計。 在我曾做過以城市為題的平面設計中,劇場是其中一個最具意識形態的藝術形式,由文本到視覺需經歷層層觀念,在與設計碰撞中,除了帶來上述的文件外,設計師還需閱讀劇場以外的集體、歷史檔案、新聞或其他主觀產物。 在傾向單純觀看的世界中,平面設計以滿足於視覺炫目為目的,背後牽涉的檔案往往缺席、邊緣、孤寂。關於文件和藝術或創作間的討論,當代藝術學家葛羅伊斯(Boris Groys)提出的理論也經常被引用,他指出各種藝術文件就是指涉藝術,而藝術因為本身就定義為藝術,反而無法被指涉為藝術,「藝術不再存在與立即被看見這個狀況變得清晰,藝術是缺席與隱藏的」。亦即是文件、檔案、文獻等雖不直接呈現藝術,但令藝術顯現,藝術文獻也成為藝術其中一個藝術生命形式,某種純粹的活動與實踐填補了藝術的缺席。 我也試着重新翻閱我所做過的設計,那些關於城市的劇場平面設計中,嘗試把各種設計檔、圖檔或文檔等等都放到公共視野之中,尤其我所選輯的演出都有其城市關心的公共議題,題目本身就已經具有一定的現實性,在多種關係中把檔案公開,或者可以給人另一種新的詮釋。
