Linda Lai / The material form of remembering: thought paths and mute speech: In Defense of Manifestos (2) 「記好」的物質性，思路啞音微敘事：繼續宣言（2）
The “Prolog” of “Our Manifestos II” (2021.05) explicitly examines videography as a way of living, an attitude of life, and the quest for in-depth transformation in the midst of complex, crisis living. In the 2nd of the 5-part series, Linda Lai discusses videography as soundings, ways to voice out as crafted thought paths, the materiality of remembering as micro narratives.《我們的錄像宣言2》於「據點一杯茶」5次連載的第2篇：黎肖嫻開宗明義把錄像書寫看為一種創作人的活的型態和取向，以至於對深度轉化的渴求。如是，對錄像書寫的認知遠超狹義的藝術操守和理所當然的影像美學。這次，她提出了錄像書寫作為「發聲」的藝術的面向。「記住」，必須透過「思路」的展現，而這就是錄像的「微」敘事性格。
