A collaboration between a Taiwanese artist and a Hong Kong artist, using megaphones to transmit intersecting voices across the space, shifting between languages and accents.
The echoes and dissonances mimic the gestures of islands constantly negotiating under shifting powers and historical tides. Here, language is not merely a tool for communication, but a marker of boundaries, a trial of identity, and an echo of resistance.
Island Practice Manual is an unfinished set of instructions, inviting the audience to inhabit the intervals between voices, where isolation meets connection, and discipline meets freedom.
由一位台灣藝術家與一位香港藝術家合作，以擴音器在空間中交錯發聲，穿梭多種語言與口音。
聲音的呼應與錯位，模擬島嶼在不同權力與歷史洪流中不斷協商的姿態。語言在此不只是溝通的工具，更是邊界的標記、身份的試煉與抵抗的回聲。
《島嶼練習手冊》是一份未完成的指令集，邀請觀眾在聲音的往返與間隙中，感知孤立與連結、規訓與自由之間的緊張關係。

"Archipelagoing" is a performance art experiment concerning individual being and continuous becoming. The archipelago, as a geographical archetype, is essentially a philosophy of the gap. The defined borders of the islands establish periphery and self-sufficiency, while the surrounding ocean, currents, and tides foreshadow drifting, searching, and inevitable interconnection. This structure is not merely the sum of its islands; it is a dynamic network woven together, emphasizing non-linearity and the generativity of contingent encounters. This performance translates this geographical tension into an action-based geography, directly confronting an existential tension: when individuals are forcibly aggregated and guided towards specific paths and positions, how can they maintain the autonomy of their internal boundaries? This experiment is a poetic response to demanded collectivity and the homogeneous and monolithic spectacle. It stands in confrontation with the solidification and definition imposed by the centralized grand narrative, aiming to anchor the self's fluid, polysemic, and perpetually unfixed cultural identity through the body's micro-deviations.

「正在群嶼 (Archipelagoing)」是一場關於個體存有與持續生成的行為展演實驗。 群嶼（Archipelago）作為一個地理原型，其本質是間隙的哲學：島嶼的明確邊界定義了邊陲與自足；而包裹島嶼的海洋、海流與潮汐，則預示了漂流、尋找與不可避免的連動。這種結構不僅是島嶼的總和，更是共同編織的動態網絡，強調非線性與偶然相遇的生成性。 本展演將這種地景張力轉化為一種行為地理學，直面一種存在的張力：個體在被強制編組、被導向特定路徑和位置時，如何維護自身內在的邊界？這場實驗是對被要求的集體性與同質且龐大的景觀所進行的詩意化回應。它與中心化的宏大敘事所帶來的固化與定義對峙，旨在以身體的微小偏離，錨定自身流動、多義且永不固定的文化身份。
