We came to Argentina to 'defamiliarize' ourselves by moving away from the spaces - and hopefully the preoccupations - of the world we know so well. But we're out of our space and depth here. We don't even know the city well. So why do we still tend toward bars, barber shops, fast-food joints and trains? What happened to the inspirations from Manuel Puig's structures and Julio Cortazar's conceits? We're stuck with our own concerns and perceptions. If it's true that every artist basically has only one thing to say, then... we'd better do our best to say it more eloquently this time!
我们来到阿根廷是想通过远离熟悉的空间让自己“陌生化” – 也希望远离固有的成见。但是现在我们却迷失了(幽梦:“out of depth”的说法是有的,“out of our space”嘛,老杜又在造词,玩文字游戏了)。我们甚至不太了解这个城市。那么,为什么我们仍旧被酒吧,理发店,快餐店和火车吸引? Manuel Puig的结构激发出的灵感怎么了?Julio Cortazar的妙喻激发出的灵感怎么了?我们无法摆脱自己的忧虑和观念。如果每一个艺术家真的只有一句话要说,那么...我们这次最好尽力把它说得更动人!
