Last year, Gazetteer-Novel selected two natural villages (Xu'aodi in Zhejiang, Tankou in Anhui) and four urban communities (the town of Qiyun in Anhui, Oversea Chinese Village in Quanzhou, Shapowei in Xiamen, and the town of Xinzao in Guangzhou) for a-week-long writing residencies. Before meeting the audience, the text is displayed as its object in this temporary (also eternal in a kind) library. The object of the textsuspends the reference to any given region and is re-catalogued in the library without any summative experience and typical feeling of misplacement, behind which, the significance of geographical or human memory disappears at this moment. The identities of the six southern villages (or towns) are folded to the back of the visible text, which is not presented as a marvel or a surprise, but the author’s daily life as a traveler in somewhere else .
In the library, the curator will return to be a librarian with a feather duster - a ceremonial caretaker (in a sense, the character returns to the initial transition between care and cure). Explore endlessly along the seemingly inelegant hexagonal symmetry, dust off the text and try to "measure" the distance between the author and the resident place:Did he (or she) go inside? Or is he (or she) still outside the door? Perhaps the librarian can ask herself this question, and this feeling of "far or close" will be involved in the path of the exhibition. Of course, the distance here is not the physical distance in the objective sense, nor does it have the ranking of good or bad.
Start from the whispering monologue mingled with buzzing - they are looking for an unknown woman. Put on gloves to carefully read the ancient archives, but accidentally fall into the shadow of black and white negative films. Because of the lonely force, slid into another wonderland in dizzy, yes Wonderland, where will wake up every 60 seconds and return to the worldly and desire. But the soul flutters off and becomes the one who is watching oneself - explore endlessly along the seemingly inelegant hexagonal symmetry, dust off the text, barely recognize that the image was a untouchable coincidence in geographically, but in myths and legends there might be evidence to follow. At this moment (a hypothetical opening moment), the shore "flotilla" leading the soul to join or return, find out a woman's name in the flashing images. Three miles away, the night keeper turns on the delayed light.
This infinite hexagon may not appear at all, if you enter or watch from any conventional route. As Dunraven said, "Think about the universe." Or the reverse.
去年方志小说选择了两个自然村落(浙江徐岙底、安徽潭口村)和四个城镇社区(安徽齐云小镇、泉州华侨新村、厦门沙坡尾、广州新造镇)陆续展开了为期一周的驻地写作,最后产出的文本,在与观众遭遇之前,作为“文本之物”展示在这座临时而起(某种意义上其实是永恒)的图书馆里。文本之物悬置了对任何既定地域的指涉,不代表具有总结性的经验和错位的感悟,它们背后关于山河地理或是人文记忆的意义在这一刻消失,被重新编目上架。六个南方村镇的身份被折叠到可见文本的背面,可见的也不是发出惊叹或惊奇的面貌,而是驻地作者作为旅人生活在一个描述和现实或许并不匹配的日常。
在这座图书馆里,策展人将退回成为一个拿着鸡毛掸子的管理员——一个有仪式感的照看者(某种意义上,这个角色回归到了care和cure的最初转换之际)。沿着亲手搭建起来的看似并不优雅美观的六边形对称,正向或反向无尽地探索。掸去文本与字迹间的灰尘,摩挲着试图“测量”作者与驻留之地的距离,他(或她)走进去了吗?还是依旧停留在门外?也许这个问题同样可以丢给管理员自己,这一“或远或近”的感受也将被代入观展的路径。当然这里的距离并非客观意义上的物理距离,也不带有试图区分优劣的排序。
从耳边絮絮不止的独白掺杂着纷纷议论开始,要寻找一个未知的女人,戴上手套小心地翻阅看似古早的档案,却不慎跌入黑白底片的影子里,头晕目眩间因为孤独的角力滑动到了另一个仙境,是的仙境,每隔六十秒就会醒来一次,重新回到世俗与欲望之中。灵魂却轻飘飘地升空,成为观看自己的自己——另一个自己沿着亲手搭建起来的看似并不优雅美观的六边形对称,掸去文本与字迹间的灰尘,勉强能辨认出图像是地理上不可相逢的重合,但在神话传说里或许有据可依、有物可考。此刻(一个假想的开幕的时刻)岸上的“船队”则引导着灵魂加入或者回归,在闪动的影像里找到了一个女人的名字。而在三里之遥,守夜者亮起了延时的灯。
从任何常规的路线进入或者观看,这个无限的六边形或许根本无法显现。就像邓拉文说的,“你得想想宇宙”。
或者想想“宙宇”。

The distance from Xikeng village tooutside is about 1 mile. For hundreds of years, this small village has lived innear isolation. In the 1990s, with the rise of tourism, businessmen andgovernments saw the potential for success in the beautiful valley and tried topromote it in various ways. In 2013, the valley officially started a formalphase of cultural tourism development. The villagers of Xikeng moved to Tankouvillage 1 mile away.
This work will present what I have seen and heard in the local area from a personal perspective. As a miniature of China's vast land, Xikeng demonstrates the possibility of current rural construction. After a few years, the young people will settle out, and the old people will pass away, and the Xikeng will be wiped off from the maps. But as long as the memory passes on, the village will never disappear. I hope 1 mile Away can contribute to the lasting existence ofa tiny village in the collective memory, so do many villages like "Xikeng".
三里,是西坑村从所在的山谷到外面的距离。几百年来,这个小村落一直过着近似与世隔绝的生活。上世纪90年代,随着旅游业的崛起,商人和政府看到了这片秀丽山谷成功的可能,不断尝试着各种方式的推广。2013年,山谷正式开启了新一期文化旅游业的开发,西坑村村民陆续搬至三里外的潭口村。
这个作品将从个人的角度,呈现并分享艺术家在当地的所见所闻,以西坑作为中国广褒大地的一个缩影,讨论当下的乡村建设的可能。若干年后,年轻人在外定居,年长者依次离去,“西坑”将被从地图上抹去。但只要记忆传承,西坑村就永远不会消失。艺术家希望《三里书》能为一个历史悠久的微小村庄的持久存在尽一份绵薄之力,也让许多类似“西坑村”的生活留在集体记忆中。
