<展览前言>

一系列的作品围绕“对日常生活里的无聊、无力感所产生的一种想要逃走的心情” 展开。我们很难简单地从世界消失或放下承担的责任，但如果是 “断断续续”地逃离生活呢？于是产生了作品中体现的内容。我试图将由“逃离”所产生的想法，借助作品最终回到生活，在思考和呈现中不断移动于这个连接着现实生活和精神世界的出入口。日语中有一个词叫做「プチ家出」，用来形容小朋友突然和家里人撒泼闹脾气，但在离家出走后因在外太辛苦而灰溜溜地偷跑回家的行为。

虽然现在的我已经不再是「プチ家出」的年纪，但面对日常，时常还会不知所措。为了在某天“逃离”时能有傍身的行李，我一直都在收集着。就像小动物们会储存粮食过冬，人也可以将让自己开心的东西收集起来以备不时之需。

本次展览收集了大量的、奇怪的，但又好像能触动到我的日常碎片。在公交车，在人行道，在可以发着呆的公园长椅上，我找到了它们。带着穿梭于城市各个角落时的感触。希望能在这短暂的两周，在上海的这个角落为大家提供一个出入口。

The series of works revolves around ‘a feeling of escape from the boredom and powerlessness of everyday life’. It is difficult to simply disappear from the world or let go of our responsibilities, but what if we were to run away from life ‘intermittently’? That’s how the contents of the work came to be. I try to bring the ideas generated by ‘escaping’ back to life through the works, and in the process of thinking and presenting them, I keep moving through this entrance and exit that connects the real life and the spiritual world. In Japanese, there is a word called ‘プチ家出’ (プチ家出), which describes the behaviour of a child who has suddenly lost his temper with his family, and then sneaks back home after running away from home because it is too hard for him.

Although I am no longer at the age of ‘プチ家出’, I still don’t know what to do when I face the daily life. I have been collecting things so that I can have something to take with me when I ‘run away’ one day. Just as animals store food for the winter, people can collect things that make them happy for a rainy day.

This exhibition collects a large, strange, yet everyday pieces that seem to touch me. I found them on buses, on pavements, on park benches where I could laze around. With a sense of what I feel when travelling through all corners of the city. I hope to provide an entrance and exit for you in this corner of Shanghai in these two short weeks.
