今天讀到一段很喜歡的文字，想和大家分享。 「死亡總是在路上，但你不知道它什麼時候到來，這消除了生命的有限性。 我們非常討厭這種可怕的精確度。 但是正因如此，我們把生活看作是一口取之不盡的井。 然而，每件事都會發生一定的次數，而且是非常少的次數。 你還會記得多少次童年的某個下午，某個下午深深地成為你生命的一部分，沒有它你甚至無法想像你的生活？ 可能這次數又餓多上四五倍，但也許甚至不是。 你還要看多少次滿月升起？ 也許二十次？ 然而，這一切似乎都是無限的。」 ———Paul Bowles. 原文如下： Death is always on the way, but the fact that you don't know when it will arrive seems to take away from the finiteness of life. It's that terrible precision that we hate so much. But because we don't know, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless. ———Paul Bowles. ——————————— 也許疫情的發生，是為了提醒我們生命的無常，生命不像我們想像的那樣，如一口取之不盡的井。 與其對疫情感到惶恐，不如更加珍惜眼下的每分每秒，因為惶恐對你的人生一點幫助也沒有，只會浪費過多的心神，也只會讓你更不好受。 請您好好珍視眼下的每分每秒，把這珍貴的、還能好好呼吸的每分每秒，都活成自己想像的樣子、都能聽從自己內心真實的聲音、都能努力爭取你想要的未來、都能留給身邊最珍視的人們，那便是疫情帶給我們最棒的禮物吧？那麼就算生命無常，是否也能少了大多的悔恨？ 因為，人生並不是取之不盡的井，它隨時可能乾枯。

【双方藝廊 X 台北當代】 展出藝術家：徐瑞憲 Shyu Ruey-Shiann 〈旅行者之翼 Traveler’s Wings〉 金屬、銅片、馬達、電線、電壓轉換器、感應器 metal construction, copper plate, motors, wires, transformer, sensor 19 x 19 x 128cm (3件一組/ A set of 3) 徐瑞憲，生於1966年 1997年推出機械動力系列，從那以後這一直是徐瑞憲藝術表達的主要場所。他認為機械運動的絕對精確度是一種抽象語言，這種抽象語言甚至可以傳達一種超越作品視覺形象的生活哲學。他使用機械元素作為創意媒體和對生命意義的深入探索，使機器可以透過精確組件和重複機械運動創造出的節奏來注入生命能量。對他來說，創作一件作品不僅僅是他個人生活感受的延伸，也是構成作品各個元素生命力的生動表現。 歡迎前來双方藝廊展位B15欣賞更多精美作品 He views the absolute precision of mechanical movements as an abstract language. This abstract language may convey a living philosophy which even transcends the visual image of the work. He uses mechanical elements both as a creative media and as a deeper exploration of the meaning of life. Artistic creation makes it possible for machines to be infused with living energy through the rhythm created from the combination of precise components and repetitive mechanical motions. For him, the creation of a work is more than just an extension of his personal feelings for life; it is also a vivid representation of the vitality of the individual elements that make up the work.
