【My Hands Are Not My Own】
2023.2.9 台南 不存在劇場 absence space|Tainan
Performance art/ video
這件作品的靈感來自於,我發現我在經歷一段,長期使用手機在各種平台與社交軟體、購物平台等的時刻,當時我幾乎每2~3分鐘,甚至更短的時間,就會開始拿起手機滑動,讓我感受到自己的意識與身體被綁架的感受,並且感到不自由,當時我開始意識到,在各種平台背後的資本遊戲之下,每個平台與社交軟體都,各自有他們自己想要達到的意圖,跟對事物設下的各種概念跟定義,同時參與進來的人們,也在這之中。都在非常快速、片面的表面上各自表述、解讀、定義眼前的事物。
在作品的一開始,我將我的雙手用手中的繩子往後綁起,在後面扣上繩索,
一邊扣住我的雙手,一邊扣住手機,手機內寫了一行字句:『請為它命名』,並將手機交給現場的觀眾與人們,大家在過程中非常迅速的為它標籤下各種名稱與之想像,
我的手不再將只是它自己。
The inspiration for this work came from the fact that I found that I was experiencing a period of long-term use of mobile phones on various platforms and social software, shopping platforms, etc., when I would start to pick up my mobile phone and slide almost every 2~3 minutes, or even less, so that I felt my consciousness and the feeling of my body being kidnapped, and felt unfree
At that time, I began to realize that under the capital game behind various platforms, each platform and social software has its own intention to achieve, and various concepts and definitions of things, and the people involved are also in it. They all express, interpret, and define the things in front of them on a very fast, one-sided surface.
At the beginning of the work, I tied my hands back with the rope in my hands and fastened the rope behind it. While clasping my hands, I held the phone, and a line was written on the phone: 'Please name it', and handed the phone to the audience and people, who very quickly labeled it with various names and imagined it. My hand will no longer be just itself.
