發明你的字句，操練你的發聲，給未有名字的起個名，為碎片堆築一條路。Share it if we deserve it: thoughts on living and being, poetry, automatic writing… silences, speechlessness, noise, soundings… fragmentary thoughts in search of a path, elliptical sentiments, the unspeakable…
Kel Lok / 《三毛流浪記》#七 讀後感 X, Y and Z reading the wanderings of Three Hairs #7
2020年7月，據點成員駱敏聰從黎肖嫻的手裏取來《三毛流浪記》全集的第七集，寫個自由發揮的「閱讀報告」。三毛的遭遇，在三個「問三毛」的「隨機訪談」中漠然化開了，難成合體的論述；讀故事的人卻在前台亮點。這是個有關當下香港人的非典型讀漫畫的案例。FP member Kel Lok took #7 of the story of Three Hair’s wandering to attempt a book review, which turns out to be an ensemble of personae reading the copy on a poor kid’s encounters in the war-torn years of 1930s-1940s through the lens of a contemporary person. The sensationalist… The skeptic… The indifferent one… The one making detours…
Vanessa Tsai / 台北《巢》 獨立影音計畫 觀後 有感 A visit to Endospace Sound Visual Art’s “Nest”
《巢》是「安全感」的符號，內部的情感流向自成一體，同時是個「開發可重複利用的媒體裝置」；對訪者來說，強調無敘事的觀賞。據點海外作者蔡季妙於2020年12月底到訪了。巢內部住進皮膚裡的感官思維是怎樣的呢？Nest is the exquisite architectural work of the Ploceidae in nature; “Nest,” now on in Taipei, is an enclosed installation space of internal circulations deploying recyclable media. FP writer Vanessa Tsai just paid a visit.
Cherie Wong / 我的夢碎片 (四) –《觀星》。圖文對話 My dream fragments 4: “Looking at the Stars.“ Text-image dialogs.
From her pool of automatic drawings turned into wooden fragments of her dreamwork, young artist Cherie Wong was watching the stars inside her own universe. 王晴雯從她的木製「夢」碎片寶庫裡再掏出另一首圖文對話的詩，在她創造的世界裡觀星。
Jess Lau / 藉水而流的家族故事 Family stories along the flow
眼前的一切像多年的堆積，與之共存的是看不見的已被拆毀的家族過去的小節的餘韻。說到家族，也不是家國大族的堂煌，而是一張具體的網，連接、輸送、維繫，有個物理的據點。據點藝術家劉清華的「田野」訪談，拖出了「生存」的問題。如何活？我們如何從過去走到當下？過去的可以延伸下去，因為我們記得，而且還（用方法）記住。A community art project opens the door to a street of rich family stories in To Kwa Wan (Kowloon) for FP artist Jess Lau, thus also an old family story she has not dared to touch until now. Unlike tycoon stories of a growing empire, ordinary family stories are full of “holes” irreparable yet holding together those who refuse to forget.
LAI Wai-leung / 總在你身邊 (九) – 起身喇! Just Around You 9: “Wakey-wakey!”
What was life like for an ordinary kid growing up in crammed flats in public housing? Tough, but ordinary, when the notion of “poverty” was not turned into an ideology that undermines you. 1960s, 1970s. Hong Kong. FP writer Wai-leung Lai recalls… 只有最基本的資源也是日子的一種。活著總有生趣，就看你。那是當「缺乏豪華生活」未被化成統計，未被化作意識形態之前…。普通人的普通故事。

Cherie Wong / 我的夢碎片(三) – 爬。[電]梯。兩椿圖文對話 My dream fragments 3: Climb. Elevator. Two text-image dialogs.
From her pool of automatic drawings turned into wooden fragments of her dreamwork, young artist Cherie Wong pulls out another two to form two new dialogues as image-text poems. An obsession with movement, or is it immobility? 王晴雯從她的木製「夢」碎片寶庫裡再掏出兩片，成了兩首圖文對話的詩，像彼此勾連，又似莫不相關。爬、行，卻是移動的衝動，徘徊的辯證。
A digital star cake for October celebrants! 數碼蛋糕：送給十月份的慶生者…
To birthday boys and girls in October… It’s a month marked by monumentalism — 1st and 10th, Russia, China, KMT and more… Occupy our speaking space. Articulate. Another dialogue in poetry… 十月有人生日。別讓俄國革命、十一雙十的歷史碑誌重量大石壓死魚蝦蟹。我有我的說話空間，我有我的故事。發聲，接合。另一次雙人詩對。
Jess Lau / Life as ‘ignis fatuus’: the voyage with Tamas Waliczky from Ancient Egypt to Venice Biennale 現實中的虛幻：Tamas Waliczky 帶我從古埃及到他的威尼斯雙年展
「據點。句點」成員劉清華與動畫藝術家老師的近距互動，是一生的創作態度的啟發。FPC member Jess Lau’s close encounter with animation professor Tamas Waliczky induces life-long commitment to the question of what it means to be an artist.
Linda Lai / Temporal Being. Writing as performance. Unfolding and refolding the singular.
The inter-play of present and past tense is deliberate in contemplating the nature of memory — the fixing of attention onto nit-bits of the chaotic ocean of the past. I am also influenced by moving image creation — every work being the negotiation between the present continuous of the camera at work and the “already-past” of its articulation. 現在進行式與過去式時態的交替共用是「不假思索」法」而來的必然對策，也是現象學的意識論的創作性延伸，在猶如汪洋大海混沌波濤翻滾的「過去」投擲零星的關注點，構成接點的「回憶」，以至構成可被陳述的「經驗」。
FPC / Return Flight: MEL<---->HKG, after a year, the making of…
FPC members participated in an cross-ocean exchange of image and text with artists in Melbourne as the third and final episode of Elizaveta Maltseva’s curatorial project, in collaboration with the Melbourne-based literary journal Going Down Swinging. One year has passed since the show Return Flight: MEL <---->HKG met the public in Melbourne (August) and Hong Kong (September) respectively. This short video looks back on our exchange conversation. 《回程機：墨爾本<---->香港》18個兩地創作人的圖文交流轉眼已是一年前的事。存留的檔案為我們抓住了一些神髓。
