The Closure of Yours Mine

Dear Yours Mine,


The very first idea for this project comes from the curiosity of different individuals in 2015 when I was surrounded by varied people/nationalities/cultures in Amsterdam, with a few words, quizzes, then voilà: the project with 4 different results. However, there were numerous people did try this project. Even though not all of them achieve the final step, I still deeply appreciate all of them.
Individuality is the keyword of my work in the past few years. It has been 7 years and I found a clear reason to close this topic.

We artists/performers may search for our own and others' Individuality in our whole life, but in the end, we have to confront ourselves individually, others only could be mirrors to reflect our thoughts objectively. However, there is no way to understand others even ourselves because we are all complex individuals, which makes the world abundant but chaotic. (Super contradictive, isn't it?)

After many tries, nice meets, experiences, and challenges, I decided to do the last try– my own version. However, It was much harder than I thought, this project reflects my vulnerability, weaknesses, and how to make the decisions to "be now". That's exactly the original idea: Becoming “you” and “me”.

這作品最初的想法源於2015年,對於每個個體獨特的好奇心,當時居住於阿姆斯特丹,一個被各式各樣的人種、國籍、文化包圍的城市,藉由一些文字、問答…等想法,然後這作品就產生了四個不同的結果。然而,在過程中有無數的參與者曾嘗試執行這個作品,我深深感謝所有的參與者。


爾後,個體獨特性便成為我這些年創作的關鍵詞。經過了7年,我找到了清楚的理由來結束這計畫。

身為藝術家/表演者,我們也許窮盡一生發掘自己或他人的獨特性,但最終我們面對的還是自己,他人只能作為一面鏡子客觀反射出我們的想法。然而,完全了解其他人幾乎是不可能的事,因為我們都是複雜的個體,也因此讓這世界變得豐富也混亂。

經過了許多試驗、面談、經驗和挑戰,我決定執行最後一個–我的版本。既使一切比我想像中的困難,這計畫完全顯現出了我的弱點,如何依自我判斷”在當下”決定。這正是此計畫原始的想法,成為”你”和”我”。
