Creative Writing: poetry (selections)

[English version]

〈又,物聚〉


聚物 -再見,再思量。

發現,發現物與物的私語,於聚散之間。
發現呼之欲出的可能。發現非黑非白。發現非真非假。突破圓。

再一次 。 又,物聚。

虛擬是創作的特權,
再看偏離本相後的詭異出奇。

再一次。虛擬。

層層疊疊,說談嗤笑間 -
木不再是木。木是檀,雲是石。六四變九七。油街是牛棚。
魚缸是電視。游魚是游魚。

藝術活動是創作,研究是創作的再創作。
仞姿創造於生活,我再創造,以思維、觀望。
仞姿按創造再創造,我再再創造,在紙張上,在圖表裡;

又,物聚。
聚物。說書,說史。

物換[聚],星移。

[Re-]Fabrication, [Re-]Vision

Fabrication, the intrinsic of artistic creation

Fabrication, to be grasped only relative to what is already there...

 

Betwween what is fabricated and what is real -

Recurrent negotiation

Dichotomies break down, meanings thicken,

To fabricate is to see, assemble, collage, to invent what is hidden, possible but not there,

To RE-fabricate is to stay within the circle of negotiation,

 

To put forth new propositions

To be part of the dialectics of [re-]engaging

To acknowledge life's complexity via making and re-making...

Yan-chi's works fabricate the world in which she has lived, and I re-fabricate via counting, collecting and aligning.

Yan-chi RE-fabricates her own fabrications, to re-open closed circles,

And I fabricate the prequel to her RE-visioning RE-fabrication.
