Typewriter, 160g sketch paper



How do we understand sowing, harvesting, and the constant regeneration of life? If there is a typewriter beside you, you could start typing the first character from the bottom of the paper, continuing until a mushroom grows. When you reach the top, let a heavy rain fall, and in time, more friends will return here.

As I keep typing, I think I can understand why the linear process of using a typewriter can be so enchanting. It is slow, careful, and irrevocable, yet it mirrors the cyclical rituals of life. Growth corresponds to death, but as one slowly approaches the end, new life is already beginning to descend.

如何理解播种、收获和不断再生的生命?如果你身旁就有一个打字机,那么你可以试着从一张纸的底部开始敲击出第一个字符,持续这个行为直到长出一个蘑菇。到达最顶端时,再降下一场大雨,来日便会有更多的朋友回到这里。在不断敲击的同时,我想我可以理解为何打字机这样完全线性的过程可以让我如此着迷,它慢慢的、谨慎的、不可撤回的,却也可以理解周而复始的仪式。生长对应着死亡,但在逐渐到达结尾的同时,也已有新的生命在降落。
