每个艺术家的目标都是用人为手段捕捉运动——即生命——并将其固定,使得百年之后当一个陌生人注视它时,它会因为生命而再次运动。
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.
写作就是抵抗——抵抗遗忘,抵抗沉默。
I think it's merely the randomness of the winning and losing process that I want to stress, because the emphasis nowadays is so much on the justice of everything, and politicians always talk about justice. Now I'm a firm believer in justice, I just think that it's impossible. So we should do everything we can to pursue it, but we should always remember that whoever is facing us, whatever has happened in their lives, there will be a strong element of the haphazard. That's what I'm trying to leave room for; otherwise, it can get quite claustrophobic.
相信有时是痛苦的。但如果停止相信,什么都不会开始。
你看不见你自己,你所看见的只是你的影子。
The dialogue between light and shadow creates architecture.
