I set down a rule to change my sheets once a month when I was in New York. One day, as I sat on my bed, I felt like I needed to do something with the dust and hair which had gathered. After all, they had been in bed with me for the past month. So I pulled out some tape and tried to stick all the dust and hair on the tape. When the pieces of tape were no longer sticky, I pulled out a new piece of tape and continued to gather dust and hair, until nothing remained on my sheets. The month-old dust and hair on my sheets were the most intimate objects to me during my seven months in New York.
This was the one of the most solitary and loneliest periods of my life. The pieces of tape with dust and hair were the symbol of my company during those loneliest days, showcasing my homesickness and longing for company.
在紐約期間我替自己定下一個規則,每一個月換一次床單。一天,我坐在床邊,看著這些床單上的灰塵與毛髮,覺得我應該為這些東西做些什麼。畢竟,我們在一起睡了一個月。於是我拉出一段膠帶,沾黏床單上的灰塵與毛髮,當膠帶無法再沾黏物體時,就再延拉出一段新膠帶,繼續這個沾黏的動作,直到床單上找不到任何可見的東西。這些床單上累積了一個月的灰塵與毛髮,是我到紐約七個月以來最親密貼身的關係。
此作應對我一生中最孤單寂寞的一段生活,沾滿灰塵與毛髮的膠帶長度,視覺化面對自我時最親密的孤寂,測量出心中的思鄉與渴望陪伴。
