你上一次專注地讀一首詩是何時？
如果這個世紀有一個最能代表時代精神的詞彙，必然是「創傷」。網絡資訊紛沓而至，戰爭、疫情、人與人之間的紛爭每分每秒都迫不及待地丟向大眾眼球。人們急切渴望著當下。詩歌，作為一種從古老流傳至今的藝術形式，在這個破碎時代重新煥發出嶄新的生命力，或許能成為解方。
《粗糙與隱退的風中》是以詩歌與行為作核心的展覽，藝術家將打造一座精神庇護所，為觀眾提供一對一詩歌誦讀。受到僧侶定時誦經的啟發，展覽期間，藝術家將於特定日子每小時進行誦詩儀式，邀請僅一位觀眾進入展覽空間傾聽。
展覽名稱源自露伊絲•葛綠珂的詩集 《野鳶尾》，致敬其樸素，亦同時對生死自然精準凝視的詩歌，作為一種冥想氛圍之呼應。
When last did you surrender to a poem?
If there is one word that best encapsulates the spirit of our century, it would undoubtedly be “trauma.” The digital tide crashes in—unceasing, unrelenting—bearing wars, plagues, and the fractures between souls, each clamoring for our gaze. People crave immediacy more than ever. Poetry, an ancient art form that has endured through time, is experiencing a resurgence in this fractured era, offering itself as a possible remedy.
“In the Raw Retreating Wind” is an exhibition centered around live poetry-reading performance. Here, the artists conjure a haven, a hushed space where verses are not merely read but bestowed, one trembling soul at a time. Inspired by the ritual chanting of monks, the artist will perform poetry recital every hour on designated days during the exhibition, inviting only one audience at a time to enter the space and listen.
The title of the exhibition draws from Louise Glück’s poetry Wild Iris, paying homage to her plainspoken yet piercing meditations on life, death, and nature—an echo of the contemplative atmosphere within the show.
《粗糙與隱退的風中》開幕演出
於雷鳴電閃時，我們品味詩。
這是一場讓文字滲透肌理、進入消化系統並滋養身體的儀式。藝術家汪倩和張欣怡，聯同聲音藝術家Nnscya，於精神庇護所咀嚼詩的血肉，讓文字在當下被吞噬，復又重生。
感謝所有來訪者的見證。感謝所有技術支援。
Opening performance of ”In the Raw Retreating Wind“
In the midst of thunder and lightning, we savor poetry.
This is a ritual that allowed words to penetrate the very texture of being, enter the digestive system, and nourish the body. Artists Sin Wong and Cheung Yan Yi together with sound artist Nnscya, chewed on the flesh and blood of poetry in this spiritual sanctuary, allowing words to be devoured in the present moment, only to be reborn again.

標題取自詩人夏宇的同名詩集《脊椎之軸》。詩歌孕育的精神花園裡，事物既脆弱又銳利，卻能支撐生命。
The title is drawn from poet Hsia Yu‘s eponymous collection, Spinal Axis. In the spiritual garden nurtured by poetry, things are at once fragile and sharp, yet capable of sustaining life.

製作時，一些詩，噠噠噠噠、虢礫緙嘞地跑出來。每次試圖用字固定牠們，總會噠噠噠噠、虢礫緙嘞地流失掉少許。只好借此作去接近牠們。
When creating this piece, some poems would burst forth—clack-clack-clack-clack, skrit-skrat—then run away. Every time I tried to pin them down with words, they would clack-clack-clack-clack, skrit-skrat and slip away a little more. In the end, I could only use this work to draw close to them.
接近時，請小心受傷（你或牠們）。
Approach with care—you or they may get hurt.

有時生存令人焦慮，然而時間之河只許踏進一次。
讓我鑿開泥土收集死亡，作為一次又一次的演習。
Sometimes survival is anxiety-inducing, yet the river of time allows only one step forward.
Let me dig into the earth to gather death,— drill after drill.
ps. 盛開的太陽花固然燦爛，蘊含剛強之力量，使人目不轉睛。然而，枯萎的面貌亦同樣迷人、耐人尋味。是另一種美。它彷似一隻小怪獸，對迎面而來荒謬的生命作出一場場無聲控訴。
The blooming sunflower is undoubtedly brilliant, exuding a robust strength that captivates the eye. Yet, its withered appearance is equally enchanting and thought-provoking—a different kind of beauty. It resembles a little monster, silently but powerfully protesting against the absurdity of life that comes its way.

詩歌從來都關於孕育，而非征服。但最柔軟的動詞，也能發生最堅硬的物質。創作時，常常想著Margaret Atwood舉著火槍，朝金屬製的防火書籍噴火的畫面。你必先懷著，文字無論如何仍能生長的信心。
Poetry has always been about gestating, not conquering. Yet the softest verbs can give rise to the hardest matter. I often envision Margaret Atwood holding a flamethrower, blasting fire at a fireproof metal-bound book. You must first carry the faith that words can still grow, no matter what.

心裏知道的話肚子也會發光。
Florence Milner 所說：
「幾何似乎代表一切實用之物，詩意則象徵所有願景；但在想像的王國裡，二者卻親如兄弟。」
Know perfectly well.
The quote attributed to Florence Milner:
”Geometry seems to represent all that is practical, while poetry symbolizes every vision; yet in the realm of imagination, the two are as close as brothers.“

Sylvia Plath把頭放入烤箱自殺的四個月前，她留下經典的弒父之作 〈Daddy〉。撕裂也許是星星掙脫飛升前的最後一擊，也可能是墜毀砸下的痕跡。
Four months before Sylvia Plath put her head in the oven and took her own life, she left behind her iconic patricidal poem, 'Daddy'. Perhaps rupture is the final blow before the stars break free and soar, or perhaps it is the rift left by their crashing descent.
★ 友達の詩
此次展覽特意邀請了八位友人分享文字創作，製成銀色詩籤，與參觀者隨緣相遇。
參觀時，歡迎抽取一張詩籤帶走，或許你會收穫意想不到的答案。
For this exhibition, we have invited eight friends to share their writings, which have been crafted into silver poetry slips to be encountered by visitors at random. During your visit, you are welcome to draw one of these slips and take it with you—perhaps you will discover an unexpected answer.
