Silent Waves

裊   裊

Sound composite*

2015

Being quiet is not the same as being still
if one could experience roars of a rough sea in a Turner
or feel the crush from the soundlessness of a Rothko
perhaps singing of cicadas could spike as harsh as the midday sun during summer
while sounds from a rice steamer could teleport one into a misty rural village

 

肅靜不等同安靜
正如定看Turner可經驗驚濤駭浪的咆哮
聆聽Rothko會被沉寂壓得透不過氣
那麼蟬鳴如何令人感到仲夏的烈日刺眼
飯熟蒸氣聲又能否塑造出炊煙裊裊的鄉情？
