書籍介紹 About the Book

面對生命的孤獨。哲學家時常探問生命的意義，若生活本無意義，我們是否該積極前行或是躺平對抗?靈魂探索既無盡也沒有答案，我知道，卻還是不自覺地沉醉其中，對未來的不確定、與生命較勁都成了一種毒癮，恐懼蔓延，慌亂不安。面對人與人之間的孤獨、親友伴侶間的生離死別，時間流動，關係與情感變化是常態。無常的人類好像很不可靠，無法彼此倚賴，而相對於別人，自己也同樣是不可靠的，公平，又可悲。即使有一個完美人類能完全信任，像個偉大的母親，不求回報、單向付出，反過來自省：總不能讓自己過度依賴。世間只得我一個。面對各種孤獨，向內尋找安定，自己陪伴自己，也可能是最理想的狀態。靈魂承載記憶與情感，身體負責地表生命活動，兩者各有所司。我習慣把靈魂與身體合稱為「我們」，設計了二十個行動，從眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意一一著手，暫別靈魂掉入思考的漩渦，把時間交給身體帶領，身體陪伴靈魂。這裡不是一個教室，你不需要按順序安排去體驗行動；這裡也不是自助餐，讓你揀取偏愛的行動。你可以採取「抽籤」方法，隨機，不執著，讓事情「偶然發生」。當你和我都經驗著本書同樣的生活行動，各自留下不輕不重、相似又不盡相同的足跡，彼此多了些說不清的特殊連結，「我們」與「我們」不相依更不相知，卻為各自的存在點頭問候。這是送給大家及自己的禮物——獨處時最好的陪伴。We face existential loneliness. Philosophers often inquire about the meaning of life. If life is meaningless, should we actively move forward or simply drift along? Soul-searching is an endless quest where there is no answer. I know that, but I cannot help indulging in it. Unsure about the future, I keep wrestling with life for certainty, which has become a toxic addiction. My fear spreads, fuelling my anxiety.We face interpersonal loneliness. We part with our spouses, kin, and friends in our life and at their death. Time passes. Relationships and feelings constantly change. The changing humans seem to be so unreliable that they cannot lean on each other. We are equally undependable. It is fair yet pathetic. Even if there is a perfectly trustworthy human, like a great mother who always gives without expecting anything in return, I will admonish myself: You cannot be overly reliant on her.I am alone in this world.To cope with different types of loneliness, I seek peace from within. Being my own companion may be the best solution.The soul carries memories and emotions, while the body is responsible for physical activities on the earth.I am used to addressing the soul and body as “We,” and I have designed 20 Exercises to do for the soul to take a short break from thinking. Doing them activates the senses of vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. It lets the body take the lead and keep the soul company.You do not have to perform them in order, for you are not in a classroom, but you cannot choose your preferences as you are not in a cafeteria. You may use a draw. It is random. Let it be. Just let things happen.Having done the Exercises mentioned in the book, you will leave marks that have a weight, similar to mine, contributing to an inexplicable bond between us. Our “Wes” do not rely on or even know each other, but in this way, they nod a mutual greeting to validate their existence. It is a gift for you and me – your best companion in solitude.

Based on her experience, the author offers us a series of perceptual cues to see through the appearance of change for a different understanding of ourselves and our bodies.^{吳衛鳴，藝術家 Ung Vai Meng, Artist}這是藝術家的一次思索之旅，也是她的「超前部署」，以行動實踐思考的路徑。
This is the artist’s thought journey, proactive planning, and way of executing her ideas.^{李銳俊，石頭公社創始人 Jane, Lei Ioi Chon, Founder of Comuna de Pedra}一本關於身體的習作，更是送給靈魂的禮物。
Body practices that are gifts to the soul.^{米哈，香港作家 Miha, Hong Kong Writer}常說藝術家對世界總有敏銳的觸覺，這本不一樣的作品集，正好讓我們一起從紛擾的生活裏悄悄放空⋯⋯
It is often said that artists possess a keen sense of perception of the world, and this distinctive collection of works enables us to gradually detach ourselves from life's distractions.^{魂游，藝術家 Wen Yau, Artist}靈性的旅程需要身體的支持，而身體的完美則是靈魂滋養的顯化。我喜歡這些詩意般的陪伴方法。
The spiritual journey requires the support of the body, and the perfection of the body is the manifestation of the nourishment of the soul. I like these poetic approaches to companionship.^{王雁盟，「The Soul Plan 靈魂計劃」主持人、音樂家、占星師 Yenmeng Wang, Host of “The Soul Plan, ” Musician, Astrologer}

展覽介紹 About the Exhibit

如果一個人有一個計劃——或者更準確地說，活在一個計劃當中——那麼他總是已經在未來了。
——《計劃的孤獨》，波里斯．葛羅伊斯《身體陪伴靈魂的二十個生活行動》是由藝術家梁祖賢構思和實踐的一項計劃：始於2021年一系列簡單的身體活動，再發展為一部藝術家書，一項行走的藝術展覽。從眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意著手，藝術家設計和發起二十項生活行動，讓人們將片刻的時間交還身體，以身體陪伴靈魂。在這次展覽中，藝術家抽取了書中的一些行動，以工具及提示邀請觀眾參與，比如放置跑步機與錄音播放裝置，好讓觀眾在展場內散步和默想《我是誰》；各種外語唸誦的聶魯達情詩《為了使你聽見》，以製造《美麗誤解》；不為引起任何思考的圓周率數字，僅供《發聲練習》；駐場菓子店免費供應的開水，印證《種善因得善果》；以及觀展過後，可帶到街上去與《生物連結》的貓糧。另外一些行動只在展期內特定時間，以延伸活動的方式予以共同體驗，使各各「不相依更不相知」的個體產生連結。以書籍為媒，藝術家創作、演示和記錄著一項項不過三十分鐘、任何人都能參與其中的簡單生活行動，任何人都可以據為己有，任何人都擁有這樣的選擇和自由。以展覽為契機，我們好奇，如何讓這些想法在空間內滋長，在行動中傳播。嚴格來說，這裏沒有展示任何一件藝術品，只是佈置了一些作業和工具，提供了一種未來生活的提案，並記錄一些已在路上的人。本次展覽由林小雯策劃，埋欄文化主辦，為「埋欄客廳」藝術空間計劃之一。


If one has a project - or more precisely, is living in a project - one always is already in the future.
- Boris Groys, "The Loneliness of the Project”Twenty Exercises for the Body to Be the Soul’s Companion is an ongoing project conceived and implemented by artist Joein, Leong Chou In. It began in 2021 as a series of simple body exercises and has since evolved into an artist book and a portable art exhibition.Starting with the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, the artist designs and initiates twenty life actions, inviting individuals to dedicate brief moments of time to their physical being and allowing the body to become a companion to the soul.In this exhibition, the artist has chosen several exercises from the book for the audience to participate in, using various tools and prompts. For example, the exhibition includes a treadmill and a recording device that allows the audience to walk and meditate on “Who Am I?” within the exhibition space; reciting “So That You Will Hear Me,” Pablo Neruda’s love poem, in various foreign languages to create “Beautiful Misunderstanding”; providing the digits of Pi for the "Sound Making Exercise" without any intention to provoke thought; offering free water from an in-house bakery to practice "Good Deeds Bringing Good Outcomes"; and giving away cat food to encourage the audience to take a stroll down the street and experience "Connection with Other Creatures” after the exhibition. Some other exercises are only available as public programs during the exhibition period, designed to extend the experience and foster connections among individuals who “do not rely on or even know each other."With books as the medium, the artist creates, demonstrates and documents these simple life actions that take no more than thirty minutes and can be practiced by anyone. Anyone can claim them, and anyone will find such a choice and freedom. Through the exhibition, the audience is curious about how to free these ideas in space and spread them through action.Strictly speaking, there are no art pieces displayed here. Only some assignments and tools are arranged to propose a future life and document some people who are already on their way.This exhibition is curated by Lam Sio Man, organized by MyLand Culture and is part of the MyLand Living Room art space program.........................策展人 Curator：林小雯 Lam Sio Man策展支援 Curatorial Support：陸竹 Pal Lok藝術家 Artist：梁祖賢 Joein, Leong Chou In........................展期 On View

作品介紹 Artwork Descriptions

1.《種善因得善果》Good Deeds Bringing Good Outcomes
2023
互動作品 Interactive Piece行動指示：請駐場的默默菓子屋主理人為您提供一杯水，向水說好多好多好多好說話。然後慢慢喝下。
Instruction: Ask the owner of Mak Mak Store to provide you with a glass of water and say many, many, many positive words to the water. Then drink it slowly.<><><><><><><>^{實驗指出，水有乘載能量的能力。向水說好話能結出美麗的晶體，用說了好話的水澆花，花會長得又大又美。相反地，說壞話發放負能量，晶體會破裂結成不規則，澆出的花，也會垂頭喪氣。成人體內有50-60% 水份，來給自己換點水，換點好能量。Experiments show that water holds energy. Saying something positive to water produces beautiful water crystals. Flowers watered with the water to which positive words are uttered grow bigger and prettier. Conversely, saying something negative gives negative energy, causing water crystals to break into irregular shapes. Flowers watered with the water that has absorbed negative energy will droop.Around 50-60% of human body is water. Give yourself some water with positive energy.}

2.《我是誰》Who Am I?
2023
互動作品 Interactive Piece行動指示：使用 Ipad錄下您的名字並播放，聽著自己叫喊自己的名字，踏上跑步機漫步15分鐘。
Instruction: Use the Ipad to record your name and listen to the recording while walking on the treadmills. Walk slowly for 15 minutes.<><><><><><><>^{我的名字等不等於我自己？這個問題一直都在，我很大程度抗拒用任何名稱名詞標籤自己，像是被困在一個框框內。卻又不得不承認有些時候，甚至很多時候，都喜歡父親給予的這個名字，並接受這就是我身體與靈魂的合稱。聽著自己的聲音叫自己的名字，有著一種熟悉的不確定，彷彿像是自己，亦像是在稱呼別的個體，在確定與迷失之間。然而，我相信迷失過後仍能生存的人，能更堅實地存在。Am I my name? This question always lingers in my mind. To a large extent, I refuse to label myself with a name or noun, or else I would feel trapped in a frame, but I have to admit that I sometimes and even often like the name my father gave me and accept that it is the name for my body and soul.Listening to my voice calling my name gives me a familiar uncertainty. It is like calling myself, yet it is also like calling someone else - a state between certainty and lostness. However, I believe that people who are able to survive being lost will exist more solidly.}

3.《發聲練習》Sound Making Exercise
2023
互動作品 Interactive Piece行動指示：無意識地朗讀圓周率。
Instruction: Read out the Pi digits without thinking of anything else.<><><><><><><>^{讓靈魂稍作休息的方法，也許是專注。生命有沒有意義？完不了的圓周率有沒有意義？當我們無意識地讀著不知道有沒有意義的圓周率，用人類的語言發出人類的聲音，這15分鐘，沒有在馬克思主義中產生作用，但我們決定了這15分鐘做著些什麼，我們為自己做決定，並存在著。Being concentrated may be a way for the soul to get some rest.Does life have a meaning? Do the endless decimal places of Pi have a meaning? In the 15 minutes when we, thinking of nothing else, make human sounds in a human language by reading out the Pi digits, something we do not know if is meaningful or not, we do not play any role in Marxism, yet we have decided what we do in this period. We make decisions for ourselves and exist in this way.}

4.《美麗誤解》Beautiful Misunderstanding
2023
互動作品 Interactive Piece行動指示： 聆聽這些以西班牙語、葡語、德語、日語、韓語朗讀的聶魯達《二十首情詩和一首絕望的歌》，隨意畫寫腦中的思緒。您可以選擇帶走寫了下來的美麗誤解，或貼於牆壁上與我們分享。
Instruction: Listen to readings of Pablo Neruda's "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair" in Spanish, Portuguese, German, Japanese, and Korean. As you listen, write down your thoughts and feelings, and express them through art or words. Share your beautiful misunderstandings with us by posting them on the wall or keep them as a personal reflection.<><><><><><><>^{詩歌朗讀者 Poetry Readers西班牙語 Spanish：Sergio Pardo López
葡語 Portuguese：António Conceição
德語 German ：張健文 Cheong Kin Man
日語 Japanese：小山文美 Hisami Koyama
韓語 Korean：박소영 Soyoung Park}<><><><><><><>^{被思緒操控得一片混亂時，用更多符號以毒攻毒，輸入不一樣的東西。這個有趣點是關乎聲音渲染、直覺、錯覺、當下情感、接收輸出的落差，以及個人所長久累積，能用之於表達內在的詞彙。When your mind is a mess, input more but different symbols. It is interesting because it involves a sound impact, your instinct, illusion, your mood of that time, the difference between input and output, and the vocabulary you have long accumulated and can use to express yourself.}

5.《生物連結》Connection with Other Creatures
2023
互動作品 Interactive Piece行動指示：使用包裝袋盛去一些貓糧，漫步街上，去餵有緣遇見的貓隻。餵食結束後清潔整理現場。
Instruction: Pack a bag of cat food and take a stroll down the street. Keep an eye out for any cats you come across, and generously feed them. Remember to clean up the feeding site after you finish feeding the cats.<><><><><><><>^{唯一一個與其他生物有關的行動，溝通不良也存在單純的美好。在街上走動，隨機地遇上另一個生命體，作單向的給予。This is the only Exercise related to creatures other than human beings. Despite our poor communication with them, there is something purely good about the Exercise.Walk on the street and give something to any other creature you encounter.}
