想請問...

這些算不算是Art work??

茁壯於垃圾堆中的小樹

（一次打邊爐後把一枝葉插在垃圾堆中）

滿身血瘡的男人

（一次飯後手多把醬汁點在墊檯紙上）

我想說的是，到底什麼才算是藝術，到底怎樣去定義一件作品是否藝術，在日常生活中的小細節中，其實有很多有趣的東西；或者如果換轉不是無心插柳，而是刻意安排的，我在一幅畫上加上這些點點令它成為另一件作品，弄一份作品在凌亂的髒物中插置一株美麗的花……其實我不知道，藝術其實是很高雅、很刻意，很庸俗、很隨意的東西便稱不上是藝術了。就是因為對於“藝術”一詞的介定不清，所以這詞彙才常常被濫用，什麼都說是藝術、行為藝術，利用這名義去作更多違背道德的事。

只是隨便說說有感而發而已，其實我自己也沒有答案:P

Midterm artwork - Make up on a paper

Make up on a paper

I’m just thinking why should we apply cosmetics only on faces? Can’t it be applied on any things else? Or even on a plane surface, but not an irregular surface?

So, a crazy idea comes up. I make up on a pure white paper. I imagine there are eyes, nose, and mouth on “her face”; she is a beautiful girl.

Nowadays, most of the women in Hong Kong make up their face before going out. I think this is too much. You can easily imagine how their faces look like after they take off their cosmetics. It is just like… my beautiful “miss paper” taken off her cosmetics – a blank paper.

Let’s get started

Actually I’m not good at making up; I just know the basics and make up when necessary.

I take out all the cosmetics I have.

And of course our main character – miss paper





Finished work








We all can see a “face” on the paper, right? Maybe all the faces of women on the street are just like this…

Part 2 – make up on a mirror

Then, another idea comes up on my mind. What if I make up not on my face but on the mirror when I am making up in front of a mirror? Would it be the same effect? (haha, of course I know it won’t be, I’m not retarded.) Then I can simply hold this mirror in front of me, and make up myself every time when I need. What’s more, I can even make up my friends’ faces in one second. (hahaha…)

Miss cutie apple mirror:-)





This time I hold a mirror and start making up on it…

But then I found some difficulties…

I found the final product very ugly! And even I can’t see myself in the mirror. Also, I should put the mirror very close to my face, which make my eyes hard to focus…

Any suggestions for this miss apple mirror:-(??

Anyway, I found this making up very interesting. And one more time I notice that art is around us. Life is art. Art is not so high, so faraway; art is about every details of our life. Maybe in some sense it’s a kind of dadaism.

Dail 達利

如能踏進達利畫的畫
能融掉了鐘講遍夢話

超現實主義 (Surrealism) 起源於二十年代的法國，受到精神分析學家佛洛伊德(S.Freud) 的影響，認為人的真正面目，是隱藏在潛意識及夢境裏的。超現實主義畫家相信繪畫不應受理性及傳統所束縛，於是便嘗試在繪畫中融合現實及內心世界的景象。

The Persistence of Memory

在『記憶的堅持』之中的軟掉的時鐘正是一個代表。『由硬變軟』對人類心理而言通常是一種『越來越糟』的時間感加失望感，對比的心理聯想是食物腐爛、冰淇淋溶化等等意像。於是在我們尋常觀念中冷硬的時鐘在本畫變軟，馬上很容易產生『越來越糟』的感覺；更由於主角是『時間』，更產生對青春白白浪費的恐懼感。所以展示這幅繪畫給人的第一眼印象，往往有一種說不出的恐懼，這正是達利的超現實主義畫風要帶給觀賞者的心理感受。

整件事情充滿想像，若能將想像跟實際用途結合；我想做一個時鐘，時分針真的會走的時鐘，但形狀卻是如上圖中的那樣扭曲，質感要非常奇奇怪怪的，例如綿花、糖果、綿綿膠之類，給人感覺徹頭徹尾是一個軟軟的東西，甚至要軟得有點噁心的樣子。

現在街上所賣的時鐘已不如往日般死板，千奇百怪各式各樣的時鐘也有，不知道有沒有賣這個"達利的時鐘"，就算有就算冇我都希望弄一個送給自己，好讓我看到聯想起達利的內心世界與現實的融合，感受那份心理上的恐懼感與失落感。
