〈不喊口號，身體也能呼叫：專訪行為藝術家魂游〉
文：羅婉珮
編按：
香港國際行為藝術節【身體力行】最後一天於尖沙咀鐘樓舉行集體行為藝術的演出。來自捷克、內地及香港的行為藝術家各自在文化中心空地前進行自己的創作，惹來不少途人駐足觀看。一個身穿I love Hong Kong T-shirt的蒙眼女子站在一雕塑前，揮動黃旗，吶喊高呼，一盞黃燈自背後照射，儘管身軀瘦小，不滅巾幗之風。
像藝術家一樣畫畫－－有排(牌)寫生 Painting like an Artist – Plein Air
《像藝術家一樣畫畫》是一個持續性計劃。魂游從零開始學習繪畫，並每月隨不同的香港藝術家研習繪畫藝術；另一邊廂，她於每月在油街實現「一百之後」計劃中按這些藝術家在北角區內所選取的地方作戶外寫生，並不時廣邀街坊及友好出席，在日常的生活場景中一起偶遇藝術的驚喜。
魂游自幼居於北角，透過從其他香港藝術家研習到的畫藝，以及他們所提供的故事或記憶，在定期的寫生活動中重新認識自己熟悉的社區，同時檢視本地藝術的各種流派，也探索繪畫作為一種藝術形式的當今意義。
This project is part of wen yau’s on-going Painting like an Artist series in which the artist starts from zero and acquires painting skills from various artists in Hong Kong. For the 2-year durational project After One Hundred at Oi!, she did a plein-air each month in the neighbourhood area within North Point district where she had been living since childhood.
By using the painting techniques learnt from other artists and drawing a place in North Point suggested by them, wen yau intends to re-observe the community where she finds familiar. Local neighbours and friends will be openly invited to join the plein air every month, and to encounter art in everyday life settings. The paintings she made during the 2 years not only convey stories or memories of people about these local places, but also present a survey on Hong Kong painters of different styles as well as her exploration of painting as an art form itself.

超越對立：抗爭作為展演的詭計
實在，當我們把抗爭現場說成一個供人觀賞的場景，不免會假設了「觀者」與「演者」之相對，也可能忽略了運動中主體間共生互存的關係。既然這是一場自發、見機成事的運動，參與者的互動自是一大關鍵。 眾志成城講求大家的互信和協作的默契，共同目標固然能連結群眾，但當大家一起在佔領區裡協作建立了共同生活的小社區，還需慢慢經歷商討磨合。坐在佔領區，不時有熱心聲援的市民送來飲料食物打打氣；有人在到佔領區挑釁生事，訊息廣傳後人們便會一呼百應的來增援。不同政見的人走到彌敦道上，初時會以生日歌送客，隨後有些佔領者卻會和反佔領者圍坐，並細心聆聽和討論。佔領首日（9月28日）警察在金鐘施放胡椒噴霧和催淚彈後，人潮散去又回來，還激發更多人上街和佔領其他地方；最詭異的莫過於特首呼籲市民在清場後多去曾被佔領的地區消費，有人頓時加入呼籲和響應到旺角「鳩嗚」，旺角清場過後人潮又再湧現街頭。這些不只是即興而發的行動，亦展現了人際間微妙的互動連結。
Designing Experience: ‘The Ballerina on the Elephant’
At the conference, I presented a paper titled ‘Performing Hong Kong’s Identity: From Civic Square to Occupy Movement – A Spatial Perspective on Social Activism’ which examines how new spatial experiences have been created in the Umbrella Movement and contributed to the building of public sphere in civil society and performativity of the people’s identity in the civil movements.
