Magic Hour

Perhaps the most charming time of the day.
So brief yet so beautiful.

天灰灰

这几天，气候转凉，窗外的天空总是一片灰。
下雨的时候，眼睛所看到的一切都特别美丽。
但是，心中总有一片莫名的伤感。
这心情与天空的颜色是一样的。


你为什么难过？

当一颗心无法靠岸，
它只能在茫茫大海中，
继续漂泊，流浪。

不给我的我不要。
不是我的我不爱。
不要我的我不要。
不爱我的我不爱。

SPIDER

The world had taken a deep breath and was
having doubts about continuing to revolve.
-Maya Angelou

an afternoon conversation II

一个午后的谈话（二）。

an afternoon conversation I

一个午后的谈话(一）。

道歉

现代的都市人已经忘记怎么说 “对不起“了。

夜深人静。
寂寞悄悄来袭。
我顽强抵抗
却无能为力而被降服。

我静静地等待。
等待他将对我的百般羞辱。
却只在耳边听见他轻声细语地说：
“你是怎么啦？连老朋友都不认识了啊？“

我低下头，无声悲泣。

Goodbye.

When it's time to let go, have the courage to say goodbye.

小心那些嘴巴敞开舌头容易松脱的人。

小心那些会以泪水遮掩说谎眼睛的人。

Views from 2 windows

These 2 pictures were taken one after another at magic hour from my 2 windows. It was a blazing hot morning and then a sudden torrential downpour in the afternoon. When the rain eventually stopped in the evening, these brilliant colours painted the sky. Colours so surreal as if the sky was confused or bruised.

View from the living room's window:

Such enchanting evening light, spread across the sky like butter.
It reaches the window panes, but it did not manage to touch my face.
Should this be the colour of final struggle between day and night?

View from the bedroom's window:

The afternoon rain left its traces in the tinted evening sky.
Only the meek can decipher the sign -
To hold back those water, and to let go.

rainbow outside my room

It appears just before the sky turns dark.
A mere 5 minutes of magical moment.

In times of Loneliness, we are all the same.

每一只蝴蝶，都是从前的一朵花的鬼魂，
回来寻找他自己。 －张爱玲

MOONLY

Someone asked, "Why is it called 'Moonly' ?".
For those who wonder as well, here's why:

a poem by e e cummings -

Love is more thicker than forget
more thinner than recall
more seldom than a wave is wet
more frequent than to fail

It is most mad and moonly
and less it shall unbe
than all the sea which only
is deeper than the sea

Love is less always than to win
less never than alive
less bigger than the least begin
less littler than forgive

It is most sane and sunly
and more it cannot die
than all the sky which only
is higher than the sky


And also, from a painting by Rene Magritte:

Le Seize Septembre (September Sixteen)

Contested Ground, 176 Prince of Wales Road

On 17th-18th of January, 'The Mole' and 'Requiem for a Somnambulist' were invited for a special 2 days screening in a huge old church in the center of London. This was an exhibition organised by a group of student curators, doing their Master Program in Curating Contemporary Art at the Royal College of Art.

My Curator, Carmen Billows, whom I had the opportunity to meet last year in Berlin, contacted me for this event. Even though, I couldn't be physically there, I am very glad that these 2 shorts are shown in such an exquisite space and met the audience there.

My special thanks to Carmen Billows who selected my works for the show and Brian Tan who went and supported the event and sent me these lovely photos.

要不是停电那一夜，才发现我寂寞空洞。
－《明天我要嫁给你》歌词，

"I have come to realise of late that dreaming has become
the centre of my life. Yes , dreaming. Dreaming all by myself.
Alone, painfully alone, and floating away."
-Descendants of Eunuch Admiral, Kuo Pao Kun.

"To fix a meaning to a work limits its poetry
and the possibility of other ideas." -Robert Wilson.
