A horoscope built out of our chariots

A horoscope built out of our chariots

In his dialogue “Phaedrus”, Plato compares the souls of gods and men, both immortal, to chariots pulled by two horses each.
While both horses of a god are good, a man’s soul is pulled by a good horse and a bad one.
Zeus leads a procession of gods’ and fairies’ chariots, each pulled by two flying horses, to the pinnacle of heaven: their colorless, shapeless and intangible dwelling place.
On the contrary, all men are impeded by the uncontrollable ups and downs of a bad horse that plunge them into a worrisome chaos.
Eventually, men’s souls fall to earth because of the broken wings; it takes a 1,000-year process of reincarnation for the wings to grow back and take them to where they started.

As a grade-school student, I spent a summer at my grandmother’s because my mom was too busy to look after me.
There was an active coal mine by my grandma’s house, which was facing a railroad perched on a river cliff, not far away from a tunnel lined by several steel columns.
Covering the top of the tunnel were some fallen rocks besides a blanket of fern and grass.
On a sweltering summer day, we would always climb down the cliff to take a nap in a huge, cool and dried-up drainage hole, known as the “secret hole”.

And yet, I have never been to that hole ever since my uncle threw into it a trespassing serpent he killed in the house.

At the time, I was quite a good storyteller.
Whenever my teacher was too tired to teach, she would let me tell stories to the class, accompanied by drawings on the blackboard.

那天我們第一次相遇。

我們談論天氣、城市、食物、信仰，
正在聽的音樂、忘記片名的電影。

翻找那些掩埋過的愛戀，
及還稱得上是生活的片段。

我們撫摸自己來想像對方的膚色，
我們以陌生的口音揣摩未知的喘息。

我說，7月我會到你的城市。
我們碰面吧，
在Ex Teresa Arte Actual。

今天，我們第二次相遇。

We’ll meet at 8:00pm, July 28

El primer día que nos conocimos.

Hablábamos del tiempo, las ciudades, la comida y la religión.
Escuchábamos música y parecíamos olvidar el tiempo observando una película.
Hurgábamos en el amor de las personas enterradas,
buscando un fragmento de vida en ello.

Nos imaginábamos tocándonos los colores de la piel,
tratando de averiguar la respiración de una voz desconocida.

Dije, en julio, iría a tu ciudad. En Ex Teresa Arte Actual, nos encontremos.

Hoy nos reconocemos y nos conocemos por segunda vez.

表演簡介︱VOID
捕捉
釋放存在於冰塊中的 「空隙」所產生聲響

透過冷熱的溫差，
戲劇地強化冰塊融化的聲音。

屬於冰塊內部的虛空間 被 釋放 ; 實空間消逝，虛空間發出聲響，
思索聲音所暗示的空間尺度。

用被憶起卻已經消逝在水中的虛空。

2006.10月被迫展開一段為期5年的BAD TRIP
經過5年的蟄伏沈潛自省之後
在2011.1月回到既熟悉又陌生的台北。

表演簡介︱音樂來自於生活
歷時5年的BAD TRIP涵蓋3年4個月的失去自由。
在2011~2012 這重返的一年間，又看清了什麼？感受到多少？
人與人的連結、事與物的變化，妙不可言！
這既美麗又醜陋的世界與人心，明晦一體。

當走過了這些過程，所有的一切都成為腦中的『足跡』。

成文如此長的時間未觸及創作這件事，這天，我們會聽到什麼？

currently devote herself by produce contingency sound
e-Mail｜ingyuko@gmail.com

Performance Introduction︱ VOID
Void is an installation that captures the sound made as a result of releasing the hollow space in ice cubes. By changing the temperature, Void theatrically intensifies the sound of melting ice cubes. As the void is released, the “actual space” disappears. Voids release sounds and create a peculiar spatial experience of having a micro sound field. By listening to this micro sound field that we so habitually ignore, we may rethink the spatial yardstick that is carved by sound.

Performance Introduction︱ MUSIC FROM THE LIFE
The BAD TRIP spent 5 years included 3 years and 4 months repression.
During the return year of 2011~2012, how clear had been seen? What had been felt?
The connection between people and the changing of things are tremendous!
The beauty but ugly world and the human’s hearts, melted into one.

After passing through all the procedures, everything had been the “Foot prints” of mind.

CHENG Wen hadn’t involved in creating for so long, what can we hear today?

表演簡介︱Kinetic Theory
古代醫生對於皮膚與毛孔的高度注意，提醒了我們氣的論述一度表達了空間與時間上的經驗。因此，氣的的理論就是時間的理論。不是一種幾何學式的、清楚的刻畫時間，不是一條無限延伸的時間直線，也不是反覆循環的圓圈，而是一種真正的存在，能夠在皮膚上感覺到的、能夠聞到、看到、聽到的具體變化。

Performance Introduction︱ Kinetic Theory
The high attention paid to skin and pore by ancient doctor reminds us the theory of Qi once expressed the experience of time and space. Hence, the theory of Qi is a theory of time. Not a clear geometric description of time, not an infinite straight timeline, not a repeated circulated circle, but a real existence of which the tangible variation can be felt on skin, smelt, seen, and heard.
