發明你的字句,操練你的發聲,給未有名字的起個名,為碎片堆築一條路。Share it if we deserve it: thoughts on living and being, poetry, automatic writing… silences, speechlessness, noise, soundings… fragmentary thoughts in search of a path, elliptical sentiments, the unspeakable…

Winnie Yan / Proper Nouns: Confession on ending things with “Localized Blindness” 專有名詞-以《局部失明》作結的自白

Winnie Yan / Proper Nouns: Confession on ending things with “Localized Blindness” 專有名詞-以《局部失明》作結的自白

Localized Blindness (2019-2020) is Winnie Yan’s most recently completed video work, for Manifesto 2. She spotlit the backstage of the work’s making process, performing the complex world of thoughts and emotions traversing within. 忻慧妍的《局部失明》含蓄如密碼佈陣,定睛創作的後台是另一種風景。與其說是心情和動機上的剖白,不如說是現在進行式的隨著她的思緒找發聲的調韻。聽一個人所訴之白跟看著一個人訴白,是兩個不同的經驗,都源自記錄的衝動。

WONG Fuk-kuen / 我與彈珠人:小孩的他和三十歲的他接軌了。 B-Daman and I: once a kid, now I’m 30

WONG Fuk-kuen / 我與彈珠人:小孩的他和三十歲的他接軌了。 B-Daman and I: once a kid, now I’m 30

「我跟彈珠人有一種緣份,跨越了二十多年時間,這種特殊的喜愛也是一樣的。無論在小學,還是到現在,相比其他漫畫,這個故事情節也比較真實…。」(2017,黃福權)成年人眼中的沈溺,在一個小孩來說,或許是有他們的原因的,也可以是一生的能源的暗出口。今天的他再回顧小六時候的記憶。Wong Fuk-kuen sees a clear linkage between the young kid and the adult of himself through the marble shooting toy B-Daman. Here, he speaks of the 20-something-year attachment.

Vanessa Tsai / 也說說寫寫我的少小時候 Loose thoughts on my childhood days, all those years…

一個小時的飛航時間,把香港和台灣分隔成兩個歷史溯源和軌跡有交疊卻體驗不一樣的生活世界。又或者,貌不似而神似?身為小學老師的「據點」海外作者蔡季妙用今天的視野去「重訪」小時候的自己,不期然想起了教科書。Primary school teacher Vanessa Tsai, FP overseas contributor, revisits her young self through the lens of contemporary society: her primary school textbooks and experiences weigh on her massively. How is Hong Kong and Taiwan linked to and set off from one another other than the 1-hour flight that sets them apart?

Kel Lok / 《三毛流浪記》#七 讀後感 X, Y and Z reading the wanderings of Three Hairs #7

Kel Lok / 《三毛流浪記》#七 讀後感 X, Y and Z reading the wanderings of Three Hairs #7

2020年7月,據點成員駱敏聰從黎肖嫻的手裏取來《三毛流浪記》全集的第七集,寫個自由發揮的「閱讀報告」。三毛的遭遇,在三個「問三毛」的「隨機訪談」中漠然化開了,難成合體的論述;讀故事的人卻在前台亮點。這是個有關當下香港人的非典型讀漫畫的案例。FP member Kel Lok took #7 of the story of Three Hair’s wandering to attempt a book review, which turns out to be an ensemble of personae reading the copy on a poor kid’s encounters in the war-torn years of 1930s-1940s through the lens of a contemporary person. The sensationalist… The skeptic… The indifferent one… The one making detours…

FP writer Vanessa Tsai just paid a visit.
