在死亡之中

時間刻畫在我們身心上的印記，是單向而不復還的；生命，是由一個個的死亡經歷所展現的。

隨著時間過去，當我們感受到身體的日漸淍零，無論正視與否，擁有或不欲擁有的，珍視或棄如敝屣的，身體都將分秒的逝去。

每一種存在都伴隨著死亡的歷程，如生命，如愛戀，甚至，在最美好的此刻，我們在當下感受到死亡。

如果，所知所有的一切終將消逝，那麼，在那些死亡過程之中，我們可以如何？

也許，我們記錄。

那些存在都指向記憶，而記憶則召喚我們曾經在場的種種感受，預示不再在場的感傷。

這些曾經在場與此刻不在場的記憶，是一些片段的線索，不僅告訴我們事物的逝去，也預示另一些事物的誕生。在死亡的餘溫之中，有些事物才剛剛展開；誕生預告著死亡的事實，死亡也預示著生命的可能。

這是一次死亡與存在意象的探討，又或者，一場展覽的展開與結束也有著死亡與存在的意象。也許諸多探問終究是無解的，但那仍會是另一種局面的展開。

In the Midst of Death

Time leaves unidirectional and irreversible imprints on our minds and bodies; while life is indeed manifested through scenes and scenes of death and inevitably ends in death itself.

With the passing of time, it is unavoidable that we will feel our body gradually deteriorate and fade away. Whether we accept or face the issue or not, it is inescapable that the things that we possess, with pleasure or with reluctance alike, and the things that we treasure or neglect, would all be gone in succession, minute by minute.

Every being exists in the process of dying; even right at the moment of bliss, we have the sensation of death

If everything is destined to fade away, what can we do amidst the currents of death？

Perhaps, we can make a record.

As everything would inevitably be gone eventually, we record our experiences in different ways, using painting, photographs and other means. Ultimately in time, all existences would become memories, and all memories would remind us of the bygone experiences we’ve gone through at certain time and space, and also prophesy our mourning at the loss of those moments thereafter.

These fragments of memories are hints to tell us that some things have departed, and that other things would be born. In the fading warmth of a newly dead, some other things just enter into their infancy. Birth foretells the inevitability of death, while death indicates the possibility of a new birth.

This exhibition is a probe into the imagery of death and existence. The beginning and the end of an exhibition itself may also be a manifestation of such imagery. The probe may not lead to an answer, but a particular phase of reflection may thereby unfold.

關於創作組合〈睡眠時間〉

〈睡眠時間〉是由葉飛與林峰毅兩位創作者於2012年所組成的團體。

作為獨立的創作者，我們有著各自的創作進路：一位是影像與文字創作者，另一位則針對繪畫性課題做著各種游擊式的創作實驗。在各自持續的創作脈絡中，希望藉由合作的狀態尋找不同於以往的想法與作為，並藉此重新思考往後共同的關注焦點。

本展覽的作品以樂團集體創作的方式展現，若將展覽比擬為一張完整的專輯，作品就是專輯內的曲目。

繪畫、空間裝置：林峰毅

About the Creative Duo

is a creative group formed by Yehfaye and Lin Fengyi in 2012.

As independent artists, we create with different mediums pursing different paths: one of us fabricates works with images and words, while the other engages in various creative experiments on issues concerning painting. While we continue our separate creative pursuits, we hope that through co-operation we would be inspired with more fresh ideas and ways of creation. We also look forward to exploring our common areas of concern.

The works of this exhibition are presented with the concept of band music in mind. If the exhibition is compared to a complete album, then each piece of work is equivalent to a track on the album.
