A Dark Cloud of Sorrow Looms Over

by Yu-Jun LIN

Late mornings and sleepless nights. Frustration. Anxiety.

They seem to have infiltrated our consciousness and entered our dreams. We recognize the shape of eaves, the folding line of streets, and return to our dwelling coordinates where we hide and live. We see restless men and women in full feather wandering through the brightly-lit city and then sitting shoulder to shoulder with countless strangers, between countless walls.

In the 1970s, urbanism started paving its way into Taiwan. Bidding farewell to the landscape of an agricultural society, life thus became crowded and repressive in cities. The meaning of “urbanism” does not merely lie in towering skyscrapers but in altered landscapes, living conditions, isolation and loneliness as well as increasingly complex social issues. Submerged in the capitalist system, every person has been assumed as a tiny component, whose labor force is needed by the whole mechanism, but not with one’s individuality as well.

However, the construction of liberalism constantly reminds us of our own subjectivity, along with the importance of being viewed as a whole. Such contradictory values leads to extreme unease and confusion that keeps building up and ceaselessly floods our minds with external chaos. As worries that never subside loom over us, we are forced to retreat to our dwellings, where we are perfectly alone, and safe. We can uninhibitedly be ourselves – yet under the lingering dark cloud of sorrows.

Frustrating questions as “Who am I?” seem to return in lonesome nights, invariably. When night falls, myriads of dazzling lights glisten in innumerous windows at the near distance. Gazing into the dreamlike, transient light, we recall things we hope to seal for good in our troubled mind. We question again and again, about what role we should be playing to integrate into the society but still maintain the integrity of our own subjectivity.

A Dark Cloud of Sorrow Looms Over features eight selected pieces and delineates the question of how people, as individuals, should coexist with others, a question deriving from urbanites’ perceptual conflicts experiences.

Zheng Er Qi | People
“People” mirrors the phenomenon of Taiwan’s transition from being an agricultural society to city since 1970. It precisely portrays everyday urbanity that people nowadays are familiar with: Although millions of people reside on one spot, their recognition of one another fails to grow with urbanization, despite the presumable nearness.

Chung Chih Ting｜I Am by Your Side
With the explanation by an offscreen sound and the roleplay image, “I Am by Your Side” depicts how urbanites try to be in company, revealing people’s natural urge for social connection. Yet it ends up to be talking to oneself or pointless mumbles, simply a futility of communication.

Wu Bo Sian | Chimps with Mona Lisa’s Smile
In the video, the chimpanzees form a spectacle, say, abnormality, in a seemingly normal context. “Chimps with Mona Lisa’s Smile” is a response to conflicts between public administration and individual freedom, zooming in on the contradictions or constraints between all the intervenable and the non-intervenable in everyday scenes.

Wang Ding Yeh | One-One
“One-One” depicts how people try to maintain an intact, rational space of survival while sometimes fail to avoid transgressing, under limited resources in a highly competitive society. With much precision, it captures the specific default interpersonal distance, and poses the question: How should each person navigate to find the best living posture at the moment?

Tsai Jie | When the Dust Settles
“When the Dust Settles” shows people restlessly beating on a possible exit to get out. However, does such an exit really exist? Or is it simply a delusion stemming from one’s untamable impetuosity? The work reflects the desolation of men and women, who are rumbustious, but aimless.

Huan Yen Chiao | 1, 2, 3. Are You Already in Hiding, Fish?
Fish in the bowl resembles people trapped in cities: extravagant outfits, splashing neon lights; sensational visual effects indeed. “1, 2, 3. Are You Already in Hiding, Fish?” presents how people escape from their anxiety and weariness for the time being. The work highlights the entire incompatibility and a sense of solitude after one’s subjectivity is highly developed.

Wong Shu Lian | I found myself floating and sinking down once in a while
The work addresses the enduring controversy between liberalism and capitalism that have been engendering people’s inner conflicts. It captures one’s self-doubt and angst in a profound way while, by exploring how to determine one’s best position, raises the ultimate question – Who are we after all?

Chen Chia Jen | SWEETWATER
“SWEETWATER” was born under Chen’s reflections during his artistinresidence experience in Southeast Asia. Between people living in urban and rural areas, there is a grand difference of perspectives, regarding how to survive and live a good life. It implies the fact that the widely-recognized future image, constructed by our society, might not be as clear or real as it seems, or perhaps what people accepted is simply a vague, even somehow out-of-focus, prospect.

《＃籠罩下的巨大哀愁 》A Dark Cloud of Sorrow Looms Over

A place where millions of people live alone together— the city.

During the busy and constant labor all day and night, we have fewer opportunities to talk to ourselves. The sudden epidemic has opened a door to calm our hearts and let us rethink our relationship with the world.

In the 1970s, urbanism rises in Taiwan, bidding farewell to the landscape of an agricultural society. In addition to skyscrapers, the meaning of the city also produces a certain kind of violent acceleration on our bodies. Before we could face all kinds of unpleasant questions, we quickly escape with the acceleration.

The city seems to be bustling and lively, but in fact it’s a series of stranger encounters unexpectedly. Trying to accompany each other is reduced to their
own mumbling with obscure social distance. They trying to escape from restlessness and distress for a short time; rising the conflict between governance practice and the sense of freedom. The closed, lonely cycle of labor faintly affects the changes of modern cities, and so on.

The people who live here are trying to learn how to coexist with it.

In A Dark Cloud of Sorrow Looms Over, we invite eight artists. The age difference between them is about 20 years old. We are trying to figure out in this big era,how people among different age groups to re-understand and break through the urban conditions of survival and change.



幾百萬人一起孤獨生活的地方-------都市。


沒日沒夜的繁忙，不斷勞動的過程中我們少了與自己對話的機會，突如其來的疫情，像開啟了一扇靜心的大門，反思我們與世界之間的關係。


1970年代台灣興起都市主義，揮別過往的農業景觀，其意義除了建築摩天高樓外，不外乎產生某種劇烈加速度於我們的身體，各種不適的提問還未面對，就隨著加速度快步的逃逸。


城市貌似繁華熱鬧卻只是意外地與一切陌異、他者的肉身遭逢；試圖相伴卻淪為各自的喃喃自語、不成文的特殊社交距離；嘗試短暫逃離不安及困頓的慾望；興起的治理實踐與自由意識的衝突；在封閉與寂寥的循環勞動，隱隱牽動著現代化城市的變遷等......


生存於此的人們，正試圖學習如何與它共存。

「籠罩下的巨大哀愁」一展邀請八位藝術家，之間年紀落差20來歲，我們試圖整出一個大時代下不同年齡層中，面對生存與變動的都市景況是如何重新理解及突破。

送給花蓮的石雕作品【拼回來】完成了，歡迎大家有空來看看！

創作理念：
我們會受傷，但堅強的人們還是能夠重拾碎片再度「拼回來」，如同花蓮並不會因為一場大地震而被擊倒，因為挫折，我們反能更加堅強茁壯。

創作背景：
2018年2月6日大地震造成花蓮嚴重災情，有感於災後地方石材產業受損嚴重，由在地圖文創作者Duncan發起，結合精通石雕技藝的藝術家王標、葉權賢、林立仁，希冀藉由各自所長，利用具在地文化價值之素材共同創作一象徵重振精神的公共藝術作品，籌備期間惠納地方人士捐贈與各級單位之支持，本作品才能完整呈現於大眾面前。作品以破損石材堆疊後進行雕刻創作，並選址於此，即前身為舊監獄遺跡的自由廣場。而平日於自強外役監獄教授石雕技藝的藝術家們，亦盼於本古蹟場域傳達“拼回自己的人生”之正面附加喻意。

Creative intent:
People get hurt, but the strong ones pick up the pieces and put them back together again. Similarly, Hualien will not be defeated by an earthquake, because setbacks make us stronger.

Creative background:
On February 6, 2018, Hualien was devastated by a massive earthquake. Seeing that Hualien’s stone industry suffered major loss, a local illustrator proposed building a public art display out of local materials. With the help of three master sculptors, donations from the public, and the support of the local government, the piece was finally completed and unveiled. Rocks broken in the earthquake were stacked and sculpted, and the sculpture was erected at Freedom Square on the grounds of Hualien’s former prison. The sculptors, who teach sculpting to inmates at Ziciang Minimum-Security Prison, also hope that erecting the sculpture at this historic site conveys the positive meaning of “putting one’s life back together.”

テイラースウィフト話題の最新曲。
ルック・ ホワット・ユー・メイド・ミー・ドゥ。
これまでのイメージから変化していくのではないか？と思わせる彼女のMV...きっとファンのみなさんはどーゆー意味？と気になっているに違いないので訳してみました。
ちょっぴりハロウィンっぽくSpooky(怖い）雰囲気で私は結構好きな感じの曲です。
11月に発売される彼女のアルバム Reputation からの一曲でエネミー(敵)であるカニエ・ウエストやケイティ・ペリーに向けたメッセージが込められてるんだとか…

私的見解としては
１番の歌詞はカニエ
２番の歌詞はケイティ
に向けられてるとみた。

日本語にして意味を分かりやすくしましたので
ぜひ最後までご覧ください。

This is a Japanese cover of Taylor Swifts latest song ”Look what you made me do”.A shocking new style of Taylor Swift as she released this songs music video talk on the streets is that she's changing her image? A lot of her fans want to know the meaning of this song so I made this version. This Halloween-ish spooky track will definitely be a hit this Halloween.
Please Enjoy.



歌詞

"Look What You Made Me Do"

君のゲームが嫌い　傾いたその舞台
I don't like your little games don't like your tilted stage

私に演じさせた 役は愚か者
The role you made me play of the fool, no, I don't like you

完全なる犯罪　銃は私のじゃない
I don't like your perfect crime how you laugh when you lie

嘘つくときに笑う　癖がそう、大っ嫌い
You said the gun was mine isn't cool, no, I don't like you (Oh!)

※
でもすぐに賢く強くなった
But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time

何度でも死から甦るわ
Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time

君の名前を赤く印した　チェックしてまたチェックするわ
I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined I check it once, then I check it twice, oh!

※※
君がさせた,君がさせた
Ooh, look what you made me do look what you made me do

君がさせたこと,君のせいだ
Look what you just made me do look what you just made me


君の王国の鍵　元は私のなのに
I don't like your kingdom keys they once belonged to me

泊めて欲しいと言われ 気づけば乗っ取られた
You asked me for a place to sleep locked me out and threw a feast (What?)

世界は回る新しい悲劇が でも私は違う考えるのはカルマ
The world moves on, another day, another drama, drama but not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma

でもひとつだけ確かなものは　バチ当たる日が来るね
And then the world moves on, but one thing's for sure maybe I got mine, but you'll all get yours

※
でもすぐに賢く強くなった
But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time

何度でも死から甦るわ
Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time

君の名前を赤く印した　チェックしてまたチェックするわ
I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined I check it once, then I check it twice, oh!

※※
君がさせた,君がさせた
Ooh, look what you made me do look what you made me do

君がさせたこと,君のせいだ
Look what you just made me do look what you just made me



誰も信じない 信用されない 君の悪夢の中のヒロイン
I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams



ごめんなさい、昔のテイラーは電話に出られないの
"I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now."

なぜって？　ウフッ、もう死んだから！
“Why?　Oh, 'cause she's dead!" (Oh!)

※※
君がさせた,君がさせた
Ooh, look what you made me do look what you made me do

君がさせたこと,君のせいだ
Look what you just made me do look what you just made me
