The air is icy.
She kissed me the second time, left my lips smelling bloody.
“ Don’t you fear me now?”
“No, that’s actually sweet. Like every action or reaction is a derivative of our logical formation or a package of emotion, the way you deliver a kiss is just a medium. The purpose of the choice of a distribution is to make a certain impact as we aim to. But like a signal could be distorted during a transformation, my feeling is not necessarily as the same you have expected. “
“ You can see this through watching the water in the pond. You see myself is awry in the water, but that’s not because of me. Reflection may is not invariant under certain transformation, though the identity of the original could still be told. Misunderstanding thus can live in the gap in full, but that also makes everything more interesting if not the opposite.”
她再一次将嘴唇贴过来,将我嘴唇边的空气渐渐拨开,气流的扰动剧烈而含有吸着力,湍动着在将碰未碰间创造出一个独特的气场。
“这次如何?”
“脆弱而轻浮。你试图将一个吻演绎的更为生动而富有层次。你理解足够的前戏对于一次成功的presentation的重要性,如何调动情绪,创造感受聚焦的舞台。这就如同低腰裤是在身体空间上对性感的一次presentation,在导引目光的同时给想象力留下足够的空间。这是在这个日渐扁平化世界的生存要义,在一定局部上重现仪式化。更具体的例子可以是,在我父辈的年代,看电影是一次“正襟危坐”的活动,特定时间,特定地点,聚集的人群和目光,“仪式”本身可以改变对相同内容的感受,通过对预期和神经专注度的控制。但你终归没有完成这个吻,这个悬音对我固然是种挠人的挑逗,但如同《等待戈多》中荒诞的虚无是对存在的质问,你怯于落到实处的调情只能是脆弱而轻浮的。”“另一个很好的补充是,乐评人李睆说过的一段话:“歌声是重要的,但不会比音乐更重要;歌曲是重要的,但不会比织体更重要;声线是重要的,但不会比声响更重要。”当然,这是信息爆炸后消费主义的特色,你更加难以也不必要去知道一次映射和操作背后的underlying是什么。”
“Sometime it’s the science, sometimes it’s the art, but we only see the engineering.”
“Are you feeling sad?”
“No, what’s happened had happened, I just see the resignation lies beneath the surface happiness.”
“What about art?”
“Art is an integral part of daily life, when life becomes more Consumerism, art is more about marketing. The beauty of marketing is: reality is whatever the majority deems it to be. It’s not necessarily the best or the most logical. But it’s the one that supports the desires of society as a whole. So you know, it’s all about to make the term “preconceptions” working.
“那么A. McQueen呢?”
“他脆弱而无助。展览中的四首音乐:“A Scent of Intrigue”, “Disco Bloodbath”, “Sarabonde”, “Frosti”,每一首都是如此。我最初被展品展台间刺眼的极端所震颤,你可以看到他对内心黑暗的迷恋,对仪式化的迷恋,对形式主义的迷恋,对叙事性的迷恋,对表达的极端渴求。你可以看见他如何纵容情绪窜动,怒放出的只关于内心的花朵,也可以看见他奔向历史,奔向丛林和和海洋,寻找到的那些被他manipulate的元素。他是一个同性恋,这使一切变得更有意思。那些戴着各式面具,没有表情的躯体,很容易让你联想到类似《大开眼戒》出现过的那些符号性的群交场面。而那些考究的织物本身,又很自然的表达出他对女人身体的迷恋和敬颤。正如他自己讲到他并没有为具体的某一个女人所着迷,而是被女人这个整体所启迪。我认为他在某种程度上恐惧女人,因为他不知道如何控制她们。所以他在她们身上疯狂的试验,给她们做出各式各异的枷锁,美,是他创造的美,没有表情,充满异化。”
“所以你并不喜欢他?”
“并不尽然。如果你将个体的灵魂视作一个空间,外部的世界视为另一个空间,我们的身体则恰恰处于两个空间的交界,作为感受和表达的媒介。织物作为身体这一媒介的附着,自身成为又一层媒介。一个理想的表达应该是借由织物这第二层媒介去放大身体本身的信息,而他的作品则直接forming了过量的信息,我将其看作某种攻击性。正如前所说,攻击性来源于恐惧,恐惧来源于未知。我认为有趣的正是此处,他的女装如此声势夺人,充满了个性化的符号和想法,但是他却未曾真正贴近一个女人。就如同你无比擅长催人情欲,却不知道如何献上真诚一吻。他动人的脆弱和无助恰是爱无能的产物,无法消解,永不和谐的红与蓝,最后将人逼上尽头。”
“ You look so sure about what you are talking.”
“ His death is a multivocal exposure and I don’t doubt he is a genius.”
“ What else?”
“ Let's kiss one more time."
