Cat's Castle Without Walls

2023｜Mp3, record cover, lyric｜1:53

From an invitation by Fan and Kenneth, there's an online exhibition where a fictional online box is sent back and forth. As artists, our role seems to be placing our works (or used to be) inside this box. Everything has this peculiar premise (perhaps I'm the only one concerned about this setup), which seems a bit contrary to the usual exhibitions.
You already know its final form, and perhaps even the format of the offline exhibition. Your only task is to produce its content or, in other words, seek content for it.
In a fictional "box," I contemplate what kind of artworks should be exhibited—unseen yet real. This reminds me of Schrödinger's cat, existing in a hypothetical space, simultaneously alive and dead. It prompts me to consider showcasing a relationship between past experiences and imagination: I, like the cat, am nurtured within the confines of the internet, where imagined things are not always untrue.

Special thanks: Lulu

[lyrics]

我在線上當一隻貓快一年了，
撿走我的人，
像是個溫柔的主人，
我覺得
他是個溫柔的主人，

每天，
偶爾是照三餐，
我跑去跟他蹭摸摸，要飯，
在一個不具體的客廳裡，
不知道有什麼家具，
可能有地毯，
跟腳邊，
有窗台跟沙發，
有植物跟零食，
時常，可以突然的喵喵叫，
甚至發明了不同喵喵叫的字面符號模擬：

喵！
喵喵！
喵喵喵
喵～
喵嗚～
喵～鳴～
喵鳴喵嗚喵嗚～
喵～～～嗚

在某天，
他說我學的越來越好了。
時常搭配欣慰的臉，
那是一個符號，
我在後期也學會運用。
我很開心能這樣當一隻貓，
在漂浮的沙發客廳躺著，
躺在地上，
不知道是暗的還是亮的，

被摸，
然後喵喵叫，
沒有人知道我的樣子，
沒有人聽過我的聲音，
沒有人見過我撒嬌的手腳，
沒有人看過我傷心的臉，
但字符的「（摸摸」卻有一種異常療癒的效果，
我想像著自己正伸手，
對著一隻貓咪順毛，
同時想著自己被順頭髮，
我在當那位貓咪，
同時也在當那位摸他的人。

需要的從來不是話語，
而是床鋪與客廳。
