Category: Creative Writings 創作性書寫
亮光？靈感？心有靈犀？都是神話。動手，下筆。書寫是以行動去發現。視覺、聽覺、觸覺、心、智、字、詞，渾然為一。與隱若的玩玩捉迷藏。Inspiration or intuition may work together. Most importantly, drop words on a surface. Discover, listen, be shocked and surprised... Writing invents and pushes boundaries as the act sustains...
Linda Lai / 方寸之間。氣流。你在牆上留了個暗號。Love in the Time of COVID-19. You’ve left a mark at the foot of the wall. (a poem)
她（黎肖嫻）寫了一首別人的情詩。已沒有話可述說愛情，只知道「想」之際自覺存在多一點。找文學對愛情的書寫，總覺女作家和男作家的視野不盡相同。沒有性別基要主義。只是好奇。想聽讀者們的回贈，讓她不落入自說自話的荒涼。Linda Lai wrote a poem contemplating the phenomenology of being in love and losing it. Great quotes from the internet were grabbed in search of the male protagonist’s voice, says she. Let’s have a conversation!

Ryan Chung / let the mind speak 4: Twenty-two: reflection on experiences, a starting point 「思維自說自話」4 – 反照經驗，就這樣開始可以嗎？
You are twenty-two, or you could be 24, 30 or just 16. Emotions often escape words, but writing the act preserves that moment of struggling to give sentiments an outfit. Keep writing: let realities come through the cracks of grammatical and syntactic fabrics. 確定是22歲，或許24， 30；16歲可以嗎？情緒和感覺往往挑戰文字的限度；裹不住，盛載又不完全。只有「寫」，作為行動，以「演」為述。抓著那個時刻，殘酷的現實或許找到那片刻的機會破裂縫而迅出。
The Ventriloquists 13. More generative literature trans-mediated: five episodes from Queneau’s “Exercises in Style” 衍生性文學圖像轉化：「烏利波」實驗文學搞手雷蒙卡奴的《風格的練習》
Like Calvino’s The Invisible Cities, Oulipo founder Raymond Queneau’s Exercices de style (Exercises in Style) is another example of generative literature transmediated as pictograms. Artist Madeleine Chan takes up 5 episodes of the work. After a generative principle, she produces 5 iterative views of the same event as pictograms, stretching Queneau’s textual play in written words.

Linda Lai / remembering a free flâneuse, Joey Luk, a poem 讀了好些有關你的，懷緬的詩，給漫遊者。
Permanent youthfulness — a thought of no comfort at all! No certainty about the words I have, but those moments spent with Joey, a lasting imprint. Combining Joey’s writings she had shared in class with faint, ineffectual words I could barely utter, I post this buried poem today as a ritualist container for infinite nothingness. 這首詩是由我的文字和陸姵妏生前在我的文字創作工作坊裏分享過的作業的片段混合而成的。在黃花綠影之間虛實無分，是一個人？兩個人？多少種心情？精神思想記憶都漫飛無涯，涓湧成氣。除此，我對她的思念無以啟齒。十七年過去了，比我先行的學生還有幾個。…我總是為過去了的人寫詩。懷緬詩注定就是跟死亡手牽手的。奈何。

Linda Lai / PUSH: the Quest for a Voice, in Search of a Body. 「推」∶ 探索嗓音、設置身體
An unpublished text by Linda Lai as an observer’s soliloquy on a 12-part interactive sight-and-sound sequence she created with Theresa Junko Mikuriya at the HK Art Biennial 2003.11-2004.01. Lai’s attempt to make sense of their automatic creation… Not an annotation, but an extension in the form of automatic writing describing what she sees on screen, an assertion of narrativity. 一篇於2003-04年香港藝術雙年展隨作品出現過卻重來沒有發表的文字，與組織緊扣卻多處留白的聲畫流隔岸對話。不假思索，想像眼前碎斷的畫面背後的世界。是延伸創作，推開無限可能的下一個小步。
