  • 我时常觉得,比起庙堂之上的伟业与权谋,自己更加被草野间的生活与命运所吸引。后者的重建仰赖田野,仰赖属于民间和私人的日常性物品。既非史官也非政治家的人们常常置身塑造的叙事和道统之外,使得这些遗物有着不必虚美隐恶的真诚。这种历史的存在,使我们与过去的社会保持着一段可以握手的距离。在此,我尝试用这栋建筑中一包遗物的信息重建其主人在1994—2000年间的生活,运用一种兼具理性和温情的方式,为那个时代增添一种触手可及的面相,也想以告观者:会有人这样记得我们来过。
      I often feel that I am more attracted by Kusanoma's life and destiny than the great achievements and intrigues above the temple. The reconstruction of the latter relies on the fields, on everyday objects belonging to the civic and private. People who are neither historians nor politicians often stand outside the narratives and orthodoxy they shape, giving these relics a sincerity that doesn't have to be beautiful or sinister. The existence of this history keeps us at a distance that we can shake hands with from the past society. Here, I try to reconstruct the life of its owner from 1994 to 2000 with the information of a bag of relics in this building, using a rational and tender way to add a touchable face to that era, and also I want to tell the audience: there will be people who remember us like this.
