The (second) becoming -- what began as a book selection grew into reading, writing, field trips, food, friends, and conversations leading to interpersonal growth. So having come up many times of late and likely more so in future -- here's a poem to add to the other significant contributions included in the project that will no doubt resonate long after its completion: 'The Becoming' I am on the plaza of inverted time seeing myself / walking towards this life-changing tipping point: Once again I squeeze a few books in the overloaded rucksack I foresee myself on my future journey keep leaving books on the road I walked across / Expecting there would be someone picking them up - In the soon to happen warfare The existing books seem redundant I just hope The ignited thought by the flame of war Could turn your crystallised existence into red hot smithing and become the red hue of dusk that humans cannot wipe away At this moment I could get my gardening book left in the forest The book of cookery handed over to humans The book of geology returned to the earth. -- Hu Fang #AsiaArtArchive #15Invitations #TheDossiers #Repost @brucelee.2084 ・・・ In 2016 artists #HuFang & #ZhangWei invited me to respond on ruins, abondoned spaces, land, cultivation, migration and decay by focusing on #MirroredGardens by architect @sou_fujimoto Edited by @chupuiyee1771 @asiaartarchive the pdf to download: cdn.aaa.org.hk/_source/programme_documents/06-15invitations-hufang-1.pdf (at Vitamin Creative Space)
