快樂的方式不只一種
Para Site 藝術空間, 香港  

展覽自王家衛1997年電影《春光乍洩》汲取靈感並展開臆想，對二元性及隨之訂立的分野作出批判——包括密友與敵手、政治實體、「我們」與「他們」，甚或「吾」與「我」之間的分野——由此僭越種族資本主義與現代殖民主義中的「二選一」邏輯。空間設計引自《易經》中常用以象徵人體九竅的泰卦：「竅」的意象為軸心、孔洞隱喻門戶——同時具備匿藏與洩露的機能。設計首度將Para Site現址的九扇窗全數暴露於展場，通過常見展墻構造的內外逆用與空間反轉，邀請觀眾思考：我們如何與迥異的彼此共同生活與鬥爭——如何處理與我們最反對的人事之間的沆瀣一氣？我們是否（還）可以快樂地生活在一起？

How to be Happy Together?
Para Site, Hong Kong

Departing loosely from Wong Kar Wai’s Happy Together (1997), the exhibition enacts a critique of dualism and the questions raised by the dual and its split—between intimate and antagonistic partners, between political entities, between ‘us’ and ‘them’, and even between ‘I’ and ‘me’, transcending the logic of ‘either/or’ central to racial capitalism and colonial modernity. The exhibition’s spatial design takes its cue from the Tai hexagram of I Ching, which is often used to represent the nine orifices of the human body. Central to the exhibition is the imagery of the orifice, and more broadly, the hole as a portal, which can function as a site for both concealment and revelation. For the first time since Para Site moved to its current location, all nine windows in the exhibition space will be unobstructed, allowing new pathways towards a queer cosmos of happy-togetherness to emerge. The reversed dry wall tectonics and inside-out space invite the audience to ponder: How can we live at once with our differences, shared struggles, or even complicity with those we most resist? Can we still live together, happily?
