返乡吟
不知道什么缘故
我总是这么悲伤一个古老的故事
它叫我没法遗忘。
空气清冷，暮色苍茫，
莱茵河静静流淌，
映着傍晚的余晖，
岩石在熠熠闪亮。 - 海涅《罗蕾莱》
在杜塞尔多夫的阿贝森林(Aaper-Wald)山顶上有一个名叫女人石(Frauensteine)的景点。相传在古老的旧石器时代的莱茵河上涨淹没了整个北莱茵地区,原始人被迫避难,一直到阿贝森林里的山顶上,用石头堆积出一个祭坛,并且献上一批白马,用来祈求神灵让洪水退去.
根据这个传说，我在祭坛处找到一块石头,把它从山顶踢到山下，又继续踢行沿途穿过城市最后踢入距离大约十公里外的莱茵河里.并用无人机与相机做记录跟拍。我希望帮助这块石头再次回到它的故乡──莱茵河
在最后这个行为作品呈现的时,是采用混合媒介,圆形的投影投向天顶,放置石头的底座旁放着一个话筒,声音(石头滚动的声音)在由底座的暗口播出,像石头在诉说自己返乡的故事。艺术有时候好比诗,诗好比泉水,时常向源头倒流,流向作为思念的思想.
Returning Home
By Heinrich Heine (Lorelei)
I know not if there is a reason
Why I am so sad at heart.
A legend of bygone ages
Haunts me and will not depart.
The air is cool under nightfall.
The calm Rhine courses its way.
The peak of the mountain is sparkling
With evening’s final ray.
On the top of the Aaper-Wald (Aaper Forest) in Düsseldorf there is a place called Frauensteine (Women Stone). According to legend, the flood of the Rhine in the old stone era drowned the entire North Rhine region, and the primitive people were forced to take refuge until they reached the top of the Aaper Wald, where an altar was piled up with stones and a group of white horses were offered for prayer. The gods let the flood recede.
Tracing the trail of this old story, I came to the altar and found the stone nearby. I began to kick it along the path in forest, down the hill. And I coursed with the stone through the city and finally reached the Rhine River, ten kilometers away. I hope this could help this stone return to its hometown, the Rhine, again. The whole route is recorded by drone and camera.
This record of performance is presented on a round screen, projected in the middle ceil. It is a mixed media project. Beneath the plateform of the stone, there is a mini loudspeaker . Sound of stone rolling on road, comes out from a hidden hole. It sounds like telling the story of returning.
By doing this, stone is pulled by the call of the river, where it is from. But what is pulling me? I think it is somewhere in the origin of poetry and arts, where I want to return.
