Wugao is a deserted village. We walked into the very original land and then disappeared in the forest.Kong Delin regards himself and the urban cityas an ill body caused by the village. All the pains in consciousness push him to go back to hometown again and again for curing. He planned lichen on the coffin woods and painted on the abandoned house. All these efforts can not solve the root problem of the village, but a response. Ton Zwerver, from the perspective of an outsider, reassembled functionless objects into the imagination of village by‘sculpture for the moment’. He is also astraggler meeting Wugao together with the masks in his memory.Two artists can not communicate directly because of the language barrier. So the project is more like a speechless journey in the southwest village where is normally ignored. Dialogue actually happened between their art works, quietly, even without the audience. But the wind talks in the mountains, the green and lichen will cover all vestige.


巫高是一个近乎无人的村落，一行人此时的进入，就像被带入母体的子宫里，消失于一片郁郁生林。孔德林将自己和城市都比作大病一场的身体，而乡村就是那个病症根源，这种产生于意识中的隐痛让他不断需要回到故乡，亟望得到修复。他在寿木上种植青苔，他在废弃的房屋上画画，“修”与“补”无法真正解决乡村的“问题”，却期予以回应。Ton Zwerver以一个局外人的视角，通过“瞬间的雕塑”将那些已经丧失掉使用功能的物件重新组合成他对乡村的想象。同时，他又像是一个游荡者，与存在于记忆中的面具一起实现一场与巫高的相遇。不同的语言阻断了两位艺术家的直接交流，因此巫高计划实则是一次在失语状态下于闽西乡村——一个被我们忽视之处的旅程，两者借由作品无声对话，它甚至没有观众。而山野有声，植被和青苔将掩盖所有的痕迹。

I can not do any more with Wugao. The village should be folded or fragmented thoughtfully, chaotically and diavergingly to surmise its feeling of real misfortune by the right mistake, repairing or breaking.I also treasure the way of aphasia happened between us. The language barrier seems to be the providence, which refers to the remote mountains and village directly. We can do something in silence and even become parts of each other's work. All these should be interesting.——Kong Delin

"巫高"这样的实景也只有算了最好！围绕＂修＂或＂破＂将错就错的办法，来揣测它的不详、增加更真实的危险和隐隐的不安感，必须更彻底、更混乱的折叠、行动，才能更清晰的将其发散、支解开来。我很珍惜这次我们失语状态下的发生，我们语言上的障碍是天意，恰好更直接的指向那接天连地的深山荒村。我们可以在那荒芜的山腹里默默地做事情，我们彼此成为作品的一部分。想起来都很有趣！——孔德林

This research focussed on the making of new “sculptures for the moment”.  I was confronted with the fact that I am an outsider in China, coming from Europe, with not much knowledge of their specific traditions and history.As we looked around a lot of houses were empty and there were only five families still living there. Many key themes came into my mind, such as: Tradition, transience, attaching, changing, rejecting, advancing, detaching, the memories, the spirit of the place, the changing time, longing for whatever it was. I tried to make a connection with the spirit of what was left over.——Ton Zwerver

这次研究主要是尝试实现“瞬间的雕塑”。在中国，我是个来自欧洲、对传统文化知之甚少的“局外人”。巫高是一个废弃的村子，很多屋子都空着，仅有五户人家还居住在那里。当我们游走其中，有许多关键词瞬间涌入我的脑海：传统、无常、依附、变化、拒绝、前进、分离，这里的记忆、灵魂，岁月变迁，唯其不变。我试图把这些与这里留下的灵魂相连。——托恩·泽弗
