從與長者共處及她/他們主動地要求參予不同的藝術活動起、到她/他們將自已的生平歷史、飲食文化向我們呈現、更發見在我們城中有無限多的寶藏在等待着我們去觀看。長者們的記憶隨着年紀的增長漸漸被送到無底的默黑洞中去,而我更着急地為她/他們存檔。
我要在仍存活的長者群體中為當下重建古舊珍貴記憶盒,隱藏着零碎但沉香的歷程。
不起眼、不是那麽容易看透、觀者要以愛呼喚、用手輕觸、探頭看究、看深一點,看進去、把回憶淘回。
From working together with the elderly in town in various art activities, to their own initiation of sharing their lives and creative talents. I find myself like countering a long lost Treasure Island, waiting to be re-discovered. But, they are aging and the memories are fading.
In this project I am going to rebuild the memory treasure boxes for those still among us, it may be fragmented but fragrance with aged. Viewers have to gently touch the work, with tender hearts may be we can have a glimpse to the elderly past.
Memories retrieve.
