In the essence of “Wuwei” emptiness must be achieved. Pondering, the “action or non-action” originates from the confusion of “Truth.” In a universe of suspended meanings, achieving emptiness is a life-time practice.
I find I am not willing to dance with the truth signified by those words, such as “the reality of appearance”, “emotion” and “feeling”, which is a slow process, a proving being erased again and again, a series of careful hunting.
In spite of the shoes which Van Gogh drew being criticized again and again or an apple we observe everyday. What we see is a collection of illusion from all kinds of knowledge or visual bait that is hidden deliberately, or is being an “object” described by prefix of various words. Observation regards truth as a minimum one, seems to be besets by doubts. Based on an observation with intuition, it is hard to avoid going through the mist and forest, thus the object we are observing is shown to be various forms rather than to be “object” itself. Object could become the “object” of non-object and perception of spirit and a certain mind; Object may become carrier of destiny, leaving marks of criterion of various values’ “forming”; Object could go beyond the limits of object itself, making my shuffled antinomy word, becoming a lie appeared and disappeared gleamingly. The so called “Meaning” is hidden behind the mask of lie, dodging about, leaping and wandering. A piece of paper, a brick, a mosquito incense, a bin of litter, a box of plates, a pile of waste, a piled newspaper, an old television set, a piled magazine with scribbled letter on, a piece of damaged linen cloth etc is being observed. Assuredly, a card is a piece of card, or to say is a piece of paper, a piece of paper which printed image or text that has media function and reading attribute. The work for artists is to present about such exists in their own languages. Language is always doubtful. The described object is dissimilate and banished by a language which is not able to return to be itself, is just evidence that presents artists’ various statement.
