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.

มีอัพเดทจากคุณว่านน้ำ เรื่อง "การฉีดวัคซีนให้คนต่างชาติที่พำนักอยู่ในประเทศไทย" ครับ

จากที่โพสต์ไปวันก่อนว่าถ้าอายุเกิน 75 ปีขึ้นไปสามารถ login เข้าไปฉีดที่ศูนย์วัคซีนบางซื่อได้เลย

ตอนนี้เปิดให้ผู้สูงอายุชาวต่างชาติ ที่อายุมากกว่า 60 ปีขึ้นไป ลงทะเบียนผ่าน google form ด้านล่างนี้ได้เลยนะครับ เขาจะได้เรียกตัวไปฉีดเพิ่มเติมด้วยครับ

ปล. บางคนอาจจะรู้สึกหงุดหงิดที่ทำไมคนต่างชาติก็ได้ฉีดวัคซีน แต่อยากให้เห็นภาพว่า จริงๆแล้ว วัคซีนมีหน้าที่หลักคือป้องกันการเสียชีวิตหรือป่วยหนัก ซึ่งจะเกิดในกลุ่มผู้สูงอายุ (ที่ตายกันอยู่แต่ละวันตอนนี้ คือผู้สูงอายุแทบทั้งนั้นเลย) เราจึงควรเสียสละให้กลุ่มเสี่ยงเหล่านี้ก่อน ไม่ว่าจะเป็นชนชาติใดนะครับ

Wannam Pantip

An original composition by Tay Cher Siang, based on the poem by Li Bai 李白 - 長相思 (Chang Xiang Si) Longing. Performed by Janet Lee & WVC Jazz on September 20, 2020; at Music of Words @ Jazz On The Jetty, Penang.

Vocal: Janet Lee
Keyboard: Tay Cher Siang
Bass: AJ Popshuvit
Drums: Adriel Wong

Poet: Li Bai 李白
Poem: Longing - 長相思

長相思，在長安。
絡緯秋啼金井闌，
微霜淒淒簟色寒。
孤燈不明思欲絕，
卷帷望月空長歎。
美人如花隔雲端，
長相思，在長安。

上有青冥之高天，
下有淥水之波瀾。
天長路遠魂飛苦，
夢魂不到關山難。
長相思，摧心肝。

Translation:
How I long for you, yet in Changan you reside.
By the ornate railings of the well, cicadas their autumn song recite,
Lightly frosted and miserable is the weather, bamboo mats are getting as cold as ice.
A shady solitary lamp shades my yearning that only intensifies,
I roll up the screen, as I gaze at the moon I could only let out very vain sighs.
A beauty as beautiful as flowers is as far away from me as clouds at their great height,
High above is the blue and lofty sky,
Underneath a clear pond undulating with ripples lies.
The road is long, the sky sublime, such is the distance troubling our pining souls,
Even in dreams our kindred spirits are unable to the dividing range surmount and reunite.
How I long for you, how longing tortures this heart of mine.

Lyrics: Sarah Koay

Chorus 1
There are no straight roads in this city
They watch us drop and they’ll have victory
You do or die and nothing in between
You watch and learn, it’s lose or win

Verse 1
Hey boy, I know what’s going on in your mind
You chased your dreams and now you’re saying good bye
What about the things you did and made you shine?
But now you’re packing your bags at half past nine

Lose or win, you gotta give it time
There are no straight roads that lead you to the mine
They are windy, curvy, like graphs of cosine
Coz Santa gives a ride, not to the naughty but the nice

There’ll be some rough times when you think it, you regret it
All the stars that shine on screen, they fake it till they make it
The winners up there, they work it till they slay it
Work my bod real hard coz I wanna be a Brad Pitt

Drive a polo down the coast, but it cost a bummer
Throw me a rock and I’ll show you how I butcher
I run where the roads take me and be a slayer
Show me what you got, are you a lamer or a swagger

Chorus 2
There are no straight roads in this city
They watch us drop and they’ll have victory
You do or die and nothing in between
You watch and learn, it’s lose or win

Verse 2
All the haters hatin on me as if they’ve got the nine
I ain’t good enough, I ain’t deserving the lime
My burning anger burns fury hot like gasoline
Coz I know all good things that happen do take time

I always wanted to be the better, be the best
I will make myself worth not any less
Coz the life’s always a challenge, it’s just a test
Down to earth is my belief, where I reside, it’s my nest

They tell me friends ain’t everything,
Watch yourself, do what keeps you running
No matter what stops you, just keep on singing
At the end of the day, you reap seeds of winning

They’ll keep you down low, make you a loser
Till nothing comes to mind but only failure
Kick your legs, stand back up
Don’t let them make you drown, drown, drown coz it matter

Chorus 3
There are no straight roads in this city
They watch us drop and they’ll have victory
You do or die and nothing in between
You watch and learn, it’s lose or win

Verse 3
Down town, the lit up city is a bustling
I wanna dress up to down, down with the bling bling
Not only just me, but light myself in gleaming
You see me in pain but I’m on the road to winning

All the souls haunt me down in threes
All the people who once made me believe
Triads of you watch me drown in seas
But no, I don’t live my life to please

Lies, one by one I’ll hunt them down
I’ll watch you as you find your way to hide around
Drown me in tears, put me in fears in ghost town
All I heard was your lame cries that sound

Beep beep, I’m on stage but where are you
Gold medals’s up, they’re shining brand new
I don’t need you, I don’t need a cue
There’re no straight roads to winning, I don’t amuse

Chorus 3
There are no straight roads in this city
They watch us drop and they’ll have victory
You do or die and nothing in between
You watch and learn, it’s lose or win
