行為總長120分鐘(90分鐘與30分鐘兩段),於布拉格當代美術館四樓,中空迴廊的天井區。行為者站在架空的長條木板上不斷嗑瓜子,並棄擲瓜子殼至一樓地面。嗑瓜子為中華文化中殺時間的體現,排解對閒暇時光的空白焦慮,以此循環儀式自我整頓;就旁觀者而言,亂丟瓜子殼是沒秩序,更是不屑一顧的輕視語彙。回到空間,建築體的挑高設計暗示著體制階級,我以高高在上之位,假制高點的優勢丟棄廚餘破壞場域的神聖性;以搖搖欲墜之姿,抗議社會資源競逐過程中的無力與無奈。 

The total length of the performance is 120 minutes (90 minutes, 30 minutes), on the fourth floor of the National Gallery Prague – Trade Fair Palace, happened in the patio area of the hollow corridor. Performer stood on the long overhead wooden plank and constantly ate seeds, throwing the seeds to the ground on the first floor.

Eating seeds are the embodiment of killing time in Chinese culture, to resolve the anxiety about leisure and boring time, and to reorganize themselves in a circular ritual. From the perspective of an onlooker, throwing seeds around is an expression of disorder and contempt.

Back to the space, the high-rise design of the building implies the institutional class. I take the upper hand and use the commanding height to discard the food waste to destroy the sacredness of the field; in a shaky posture, I protest the powerless and helpless in the competition for social resources.
