〈所願皆成〉
我在世界最高的寺院和僧人聊天了。
那天傍晚,他告訴我,他曾待過色拉寺。談到信仰,他的雙眼仍透出光芒。我們聊到村莊、拉薩、蓋到寺院對面的飯店,以及朋友們從拉薩回到村莊後,看起來變得沒那麼腳踏實地了。回程時,我在風景區的郵局買了幾張明信片。明信片上印著高原湖泊、雪山、寺院,以及與風景並置的政治標語。我想著,把一路上看見的圖像重新排列,再把旅途中發生的事情,放進明信片中。那些原本寄往遠方的想念,也逐漸變成另一種願望。
〈所願皆成〉 是一部由四十八張明信片組成的圖像小說。借用風景區紀念品的形式,將旅途中蒐集的圖像與書寫重新編排,讓風景、宗教、觀光與政治語言彼此並置。佛教語言裡,「所願皆成」代表願望得以實現。只是,當一句祝福同時流動於宗教、觀光與政治的語境當中,那些被不斷說出的願望,究竟是誰的願望?
〈May Every Wish Be Fulfilled〉
I had a conversation with a monk at the highest monastery in the world.
One evening, he told me that he had once lived at Sera Monastery. Whenever he spoke about his faith, there was still a light in his eyes. We talked about his village, Lhasa, the hotel built directly across from the monastery, and how his friends, after returning to the village from Lhasa, seemed somehow less grounded than before.
On my way back, I bought a few postcards from the post office at a scenic site. They were printed with alpine lakes, snow-capped mountains, monasteries, and political slogans placed alongside the landscape. I began to imagine rearranging the images I had encountered along the journey, and placing the events that had unfolded into the postcards themselves. The longing that had once been addressed to distant places gradually transformed into another kind of wish.
〈May Every Wish Be Fulfilled〉is a graphic novel composed of forty-eight postcards. Borrowing the form of tourist souvenirs, the work rearranges images and writings collected throughout the journey, placing landscapes, religion, tourism, and political language side by side. In Buddhist language, “May Every Wish Be Fulfilled” expresses the hope that one's wishes will come true. Yet when this blessing circulates simultaneously through the contexts of religion, tourism, and politics, I find myself asking: whose wishes are being spoken, and to whom do they truly belong?
▓▒░ 藝術家簡介 Artist ░▒▓
黃亭茹,現就讀國立臺北藝術大學藝術跨域研究所。她以小說、錄像、裝置與出版作為創作媒介,透過圖像、聲音與文字的重新編排,建立介於虛構與現實之間的敘事。她近期關注宗教語言如何形塑人們理解自身與他人的方式,以及私人情感如何在家庭關係、社會期待與倫理秩序之中逐漸形成。她的創作由私人經驗出發,探索情感、倫理與社會結構之間複雜而難以分離的關係。
Huang Ting-Ju is currently pursuing an MFA at the Graduate Institute of Transdisciplinary Arts, Taipei National University of the Arts. Working across fiction, moving image, installation, and publishing, she rearranges images, sounds, and texts to construct narratives situated between fiction and reality. Her recent practice examines how religious language shapes the ways people understand themselves and others, and how private emotions gradually take form within familial relationships, social expectations, and ethical frameworks. Drawing from personal experience, her work explores the complex and inseparable entanglements among emotion, ethics, and social structures.
