Artist Interview Videos：https://youtu.be/KwCaDfl35Ts?si=GScbCbplKurr1uyl
WU Chao-jen (Curator):
In this piece of performance art, Shi will hold a bowl filled with ink in his
hand and walk without pause.
Any time ink spills out, he will refill the bowl with water. This act will
continue for several days until no ink remains in the bowl, only water.
Inspiration for this piece comes from a story in the Buddhist scriptures: A
convict was ordered to carry a bowl of oil from the southernmost part of the
city to its northernmost end. If he managed to perform the journey without
spilling a drop of oil, he would be granted pardon. The moral of this story is
that we should cultivate concentration and mindfulness in our practice. In
Shi's work, the replacement of ink with water is symbolic of transformation, a
purification process.

在這件表演藝術作品中，石晉華手持著一個裝滿墨水的缽，然後在不斷行走的過程中，只要墨汁溢出，他就會補上清水；整個表演持續數日，一直到缽中的墨汁完全被清水取代。
《墨行》典故原本出自佛經，述說一位重刑犯被國王要求，只要持著一個油缽從城南走到城北，沒有任何一滴油潑澱出來即可獲得赦免刑罰。
此一故事的重點在於：修行時的專注。但是，石晉華手持的缽中墨汁最後轉為清水，也暗示著一個從有瑕疵到純淨的過程。
