Javi Fernandez:
Hola, peng you!
你好,新朋友!如果您正在閱讀我寫的這些文字,那是多虧一位好友相助。這次展出了兩個系列的作品:《畫我的一天》和《胡說八道》,作品的緣起是一個與天各一方的人們進行交流與分享經驗的願望。

If you are reading these lines it is because of a friend’s generosity. In reality, this exhibition showcases two different works: “Draw my day” and “Nonsense”. Both projects have at its origin the will to communicate and share an experience with those faraway.

但從嚴格意義上來說,所有的這些項目從很早以前已經開始發展了。2013年至2015年間,我每天都提筆以漫畫的形式創作一幅我的的生活日記。這其中的每一幅都是我在巴賽隆納任職教師期間嘗試超越每天日常的一扇創造力之窗。至今,這些漫畫已經填滿了三個莫爾斯金筆記本。即使我早已無法回憶起這其中每一幅漫畫的創作動機,翻閱它們仍使我笑容滿面。

But to be strictly true, all this began earlier.  From 2013 to 2015 I made every day a one-page comic of my life with a pen. Every panel was a window of creativity out of the ordinary habits as a teacher in Barcelona. I filled three Moleskine notebooks and even if I don’t remember what I intended to record back then, it still brings a smile.

我的創作靈感來自當時周圍的許多人:朋友,家人,當然還有我的學生。當您嘗試每天記錄自己的想法和日常生活時,最有趣的事情之一就是您可能會突然發現生活中似乎存在著某些看似隨機但卻週期式重複的事物:例如,我一年間會吃大量的牛角包,或是您會看見企鵝不停出現在畫面裡。

It involved many of the people surrounding me at that time: friends, family and, of course, my students. One of the funniest things when you register your thoughts and everyday moments  is that you could identify some patterns in your life that seem apparently random: from the huge amount of croissants I would eat during a year or the periodic presence of penguins.

我來到中國後,我的學生們仍然希望我與他們保持聯繫,並向他們介紹這個迷人的國家。在中國生活的日子裡充滿活力且非常忙碌,於是我的做法便是:每一天,創作一頁。這就是為什麼我簡單地將其稱為“畫下今天”。我希望能夠借此留住每天的時光,或者可以這樣分兩層意義來說:活在當下的同時,在筆記本中盡我所能的記錄當下。

When I arrived in China, my students still wanted me to be in contact with them and tell them all about this fascinating country. As the life was vibrant and incredibly busy, I aimed for a more modest approach: one day, one page. That’s why I simply called it Drawmyday. My first intention was to seize the moment, in it’s both senses: living it up and capturing as much as I can in my notebook.

隨著時間的流逝,中國的活力和日新月異給我留下深刻的印象。這裡的空間,人,甚至是天空中的雲層似乎都是處於不斷的運動當中的。在這種不經意間,現實與幻想世界似乎交織在了一起。那時候,我生活中的每一個部分似乎都像是“未知原創”的複製品。而這種“虛即是實”的創作態度激發我創作了一個名為“無知覺”的小型日常項目。

這個作品是相輔相成的,它們唯一的願望是呈現出一種類似于朋友之間對話的狀態。

As time went by, China impressed me for its vibrant and constant change. The places, the people , the clouds, all seemed to be in motion. Inadvertently, reality and fiction got mixed. Every element of my life then seemed to be the copy of an unknown original. The reflection of the “fake-is-new-real” attitude, led to a small daily project called “Non-sense”.

Both works are complementary. Their unique aspiration is to have the entity of a friend’s conversation.

歡迎,謝謝您的觀看!
Welcome and thanks for watching!
