就是為了記好。黎肖嫻點線面多方切入,一個簡單的回家的動作,牽出地球的年曆和極微的人的想像力的理肌。七天隔離變二十一天。三番四次不是航班取消就是酒店鬧房荒。怎回也回不了家。這是在造夢嗎?… 終於,她正式寫下抵港後隔離手記的第一篇。

La Casa 3: The Apartments records a series of apartments, from Manhattan to different parts of Hong Kong, where the artist and her partner took abode. A 18-minute exercise of the mind’s power to remember, from the most material to the unspeakable… 如何說自己的居所?只想為生活的內部節奏留些可歌可譜的痕跡,核心是白日的失神、晚間的夢魘、錯置、不明所以,走一步就是一步。作品,就在表達與木訥之間進行了一次18分鐘裹藏著的念力。

A follow-up on “[put away] the kid on the street” (2 August 2020), Linda Lai continues to examine how, in an apparently peaceful post-war moment of Hong Kong in May 1950, three local film distributor-exhibitors fought for audiences of movies named to be celebrating the Children’s Day, with very different ethos. 倫敦謀殺案的唯一孩童證人。這不是一般的電影分享或分析,透過跨文本的觀察,試圖理解電影在社會生活世界中與別的範疇可有的種種協作果效。港產《細路祥》(1950)、蘇聯兒童片《以身許國》(1948)、英國電影童星主演的《妒花風雨》(1948),成為太平盛世的香港慶祝兒童節的電影宣傳搶客戰。

In part 4 of Linda Lai’s Prolog reproduced for Floating Teatime, she accounted for how Manifestos 2 evolved from Manifestos 1 — a major shift from a Deleuzian contemplation of time and space to radical empiricism. 《我們的錄像書寫2》「序言」轉載的第4節:黎肖嫻指出從「宣言一」到「宣言二」的衍化和突破:跳出德勒茲式對活動影像中對時間的純厚描述而重點轉移到革新的經驗論。
