Editor's note 123木頭人... 我們停在了上一秒的倉促。

靜止如冰封的畫面裡， 我們看清了彼此的關係， 我們看懂了彼此的姿態。

說地球終於自救也好， 說人類終有報應也罷， 文明在面對問題的當下， 著眼的通常不是解決問題。

有時候我們只是窮兇惡極地各取所需之 後，拿眼前的問題將我們的行為潤飾成 一副很優雅的樣子。

暫停？我等你！

123 Wooden Man… We stopped at the last second Stillness like a frozen frame within a picture We see clearly the relationship between us We understand each other’s attitudes You can say the earth is self-recovering Or you can say this is retribution for mankind When civilization faces a problem Usually the focus is not on a solution Sometimes after we take what we need We use the problem to rationalize our behavior Pause? I’ll wait for you!

此次與林炳存攝影師合作的拍攝過程，感覺如何？ 這次跟炳存大哥合作，我覺得非常開心，因為我們倆是認識了很久很久的朋 友，在這期間因為很多因素，所以都沒有合作成，這次大哥的邀約，我就立 刻答應，對於拍攝這件事，我非常的信任他，在合作的過程中又快又準，我 覺得是一種很棒的合作經驗。

如果你有一把可以暫停時間的遙控器，妳最想停留在哪時候？ 我想停留在現在的時光耶。我覺得現在對我來講非常美好，也非常的安定跟 穩定，就是所有的一切，自己個人的生活狀態是讓我感到舒適的溫度。

本期雜誌的主題為『暫停』，它也許是未完成、靜止、剎時的狀態，對此你 有什麼想法？ 因為這世界的暫停，大家才有機會、有空間、有時間去面對自我，才可以重 整與自我的對話，我覺得看似因為疫情的關係，大家有些恐懼、有些恐慌， 但是也因禍得福，可以讓大家得到許多，在暫停鍵當中自我反思的空間。

這次的拍攝素材都很簡單，白色的服裝，簡單乾淨的藍背景，是希望您能恣 意的去發展這些畫面，您認為身體本身是有表情的嗎？您都是怎麼進入當下 的狀態？ 這次拍攝以白色的服裝為主，我非常喜歡，因為我覺得白色是最單純、最乾 淨，然後也是最原始、感覺零汙染的狀態。身體當然有表情，我覺得當你感 到緊繃，當你放鬆身體，肢體的直覺表現是騙不了人的。你說拍攝時我怎麼 進入當下的狀態？因為炳存大哥給我很好的帶領，然後當你穿上這些服裝， 畫上這個妝容，也就很容易進入塑形出的角色，因為我自己本身是演員，這 些年的累積，我能蠻快速的進入這些角色裡。

point in time, where would you pause?

I would press pause right now; I’m very happy at this stage in my life. There’s stability, and everything happening right now is comfortable and balanced.

16

What does “Caesura” mean to you?

It could be something unfinished, paused, or put on hold?

Because the world around us seems to be on hold right now, we now have the time and space to really look within ourselves, and to re-start a dialogue with our inner voices. There’s a lot of fear and apprehension right now, but there’s also a lot of positivity. The pause button has allowed time for reflection.

The mood for the shoot is very simple this time around because we hope to put the focus on you. How do you get in to character for a shoot? Does the body play an important role in expressing emotion?

I really like the white outfit I’m wearing because white to me is the purest and cleanest color of all. To me, ofcourse the body portrays emotion. When you are anxious or when you are relaxed, it is reflected in your body. Your body in this sense cannot lie. I’m an actress so I’m able to get into character pretty quickly and the photographer also gave me a lot of direction. Once you put on the right makeup and wardrobe, it’s pretty easy to be sculpted into a certain character.

Think back to the beginning of the 20th century, when black and white films were becoming popular and there was a need for makeup artists ...

You start with a large area on the eye lid. Use black boldly; you only have to choose the right brush and dip it in the right amount of color. Then quickly add some bright red eye shadow, starting from 1/3 of the way up, and blend upwards.

For the bottom eye liner, find a softer pencil to define the eyes. For the lips, start from the center and blend 360 degrees outwards. Notice that the lines on our lips have certain direction. Work towards the lines and then against it. At the time not much were done to retouch the eyebrows, so we leave the original contours.

This was what was popular back then.

Marilyn Monroe 是當時代表的女性，她的妝容是當時所流行的圓潤的眉型，性感 的嘴形和充滿誘惑的向上揚眼線非常風靡。 來練習怎麼畫眼線，先在腦中想像眼缐的形狀和上揚的角度，眼缐筆直接從尾端 往前畫，找到適合的樣子，再從眼睛最前端往後畫，將二個連接起來，再睜開眼 睛，看看是否對稱，( 通常眼睛往下看畫妝，而眼睛睜開之後，因為肌理視覺上是 不同的 )，再修飾一下，眼睛即完全。 嘴巴的部分，一樣要找一支自己手感握起來順手的唇筆（唇筆通常使用人造合成 纖維），上唇二筆往內的“

To begin, you need to have an idea of what kind of shape and curve you want your eyeliner to have. Start at the end of your eyes and draw forward, then fill it in from front to back and connect the lines. Open your eyes and see if it’s what you want. For the lips, find a lipliner that ” starting from your outer lip. you are comfortable using, and for the upper lips draw an “ For the bottom lip start from the outer corners moving in as well.

Tip: Always make sure you get as much color on your brush as possible. This will give you the bold and full color that you want on your lips.

something concrete to graffiti on. In the end, we invited calligraphy artist “I Am Hand Tonight” to work with us. We decided to work with rusted metal sheets, and it was very interesting for both of us because we had to work with bumpy and uneven surfaces. I remember it was summer at the time, and we could only work in the late afternoons when the sun was not so hot. Frank and I had to carry these metal sheets to an open field where she could work. Then, when the paint dried, we had to store it away. It was a very physically demanding and draining project. At the end, we hung the metal sheets to a wall, and visually it looked somewhat violent, but then also poetic at the same time.

A rest symbol within a musical score tells you to pause. It can help to create mood and expression within the music. There needs to be a gap in order for there to be rhythm. The rest symbol allows a piece of music to be complete. Pause and go, pause and go. It’s the rhythm of life.

and film? How is the execution different?

On many levels, it’s all related to interior design. However, all three genres are very different, technique-wise. You have to understand the purpose of the shoot and the camera angles, so you can accurately create a set that is suitable. For example, most commercials have a detailed shooting plan, and our job as the art director is to precisely create a set that is immaculate

Did you know as a student that you wanted to work in Art Design? How did you step foot in the industry?

In school I majored in Oil Painting, which has nothing to do with film and art design.

After I went to the army, it was during a time when bubble tea stores were very popular and a lot of them needed creative and unique art work to accent their stores.

So, me and a couple of friends started experimenting and tried using old parts

and detail oriented. However, for a music video, our design is often influenced by whether the song is slow or fast tempo.

For a fast, dance song, I would need to make sure that my set design can give the director the dynamic and energy that he is looking for. Back in the day we didn’t have any computer technology to do 3D layouts before the shoot, and so I remember I bought a DV camera and wide-angle lens so that I could see what the set looked like through the lens.

How did you decide on this location? It’s very secretive, yet quite convenient?

I’m originally from Muzha so I knew I wanted to come back here. It took me a long time to find this place; I knew I wanted a place with a garden and perhaps an old house with a lot of history. Upon chance I came across this place while walking around in the neighborhood. It’s exactly what I envisioned; the space is big enough for a coffee shop, yet it also has green space that is perfect for exhibits and events.

Tell us about the design and arrangement of the space?

I didn’t want to change the original aesthetics too much. I wanted to keep the original infrastructure. All we did was repaint the walls and put in some furniture.

沖完的底片被我放在抽屜的角落中大約兩年的時間，我喜歡過期底片給我 像畫一樣的質感，我喜歡手沖的溫度，更喜歡這種被遺忘的暫停感。 我不知道什麼時候會把底片拿來掃描，但我喜歡每次看到照片瞬間的 驚呼感，也喜歡回想那時後的時間與空間感，就像是把過期底片的過 去、拍攝的當下、與看到照片的未來，一起暫停在同一個時空之中， 我認為這種感覺非常的有趣，也不容易被形容。 這是在法國東部靠近德國的小鎮拍攝的，幾年前的聖誕節我被邀請到 女友的父母家作客，平安夜的晚上下起了大風雪，凍到隔天早上我都 不想從床上爬起來，我轉頭往窗外看去，那白茫茫的景色吸引著我的 目光，下午時，我決定與女孩們一起到附近的田間小路走走，一路上

都沒有任何人，植物們被雪覆蓋著，道路、房屋、田地無一倖免， 我仰望著，在我的視線範圍內的世界，在一個晚上變成了雪白色 的， 我們走在路上，尖叫著，那冷凍的空氣進入了我們的身體， 並以煙的形式脫離，那瞬間，我感受到了一種寂寞感，而寂寞給 了我平靜，這是一種不真實的感覺，像是這世界停止了運轉，生 物們也以同一種形式存在者，我拍著照並希望可以暫停下這種感 覺，今年無意之中在書櫃裡找到了這捲底片，掃描後的此刻，我 又被畫面吸引住，像是我的當下被暫停在 ...

不知道是哪個時空之中 .....

For these photographs, I used expired film and developed them myself at home. After the process , I placed the film in the corner of the drawer for around two years.

I like the the painting texture that the expired film gave me. I like the temperature you get from developing your own film. Most of all I like the feeling it exudes, the feeling of being forgotten. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know when I will scan all these negatives, but I'm in awe every time I see these photos. It makes me recall the moment and space at the time the photo was taken. It

could be something I might not even remember, if it weren't for the photo.

It's like a combination of the past and present. The past when you took the photo, and the present when you are viewing it. These feelings are hard to describe. But that's the power of photography.

These photographs were taken in a small town near Germany in Eastern France. I was invited to my girlfriend â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents' house as a guest a few years ago on Christmas Day. It snowed heavily on Christmas Eve and froze until the next morning. That day, I didn't even want to get up from bed. I stuck my head out of the window. The white scenery attracted my attention. In the afternoon, I decided to take a walk with the girls in the nearby field.

There was no one along the way. The

plants were covered with snow, and

form of smoke.

no roads, houses, fields were spared.

I looked up, the world before my eyes

At that moment, I felt a sense of

loneliness, but that loneliness gave me

peace. This is an unreal feeling to me.

It seems like the world has stopped

images. It was me, paused forever, in

functioning, and all the creatures were in

a space and time of which I don't even

it together. I took these pictures in hopes

of docmenting this feeling.

I accidentally found this film in the bookcase this year. I was drawn to these
