我喜歡你是寂靜的 I Like You When You Are Quiet

我喜歡你是寂靜的－郝元春混合媒體插畫展

那紅蘋果面的女孩，害害羞羞，甜甜的笑容，話語低聲，或許從來都聽不到她說的話，只看到她那發亮的眼睛在轉動，她的心神也不知飛到那裡去，大家像在對話中，可又是那麼的不明所以，各自各的思想遊離中…

她的內心在騷動，用盡力氣在扎掙，抵抗社會制度，活出了自己一片天地，她的創作感想：“風暴眼里是寂靜的。無論多麽嘈雜的世界，在內心深處，還是有一個寧靜點，一個虛空處。靜默著，不代表不言不語；寂靜中，比言語表達的更多。無聲，就是永恒。妳，就是永恒。”

沒有嘴巴頭上生了磨菇的人，她並不是頭大無腦，腦上長磨菇，小王子說：
“…世界上可能沒有像我這樣的人，只為來到這裡，但我看到的什麼也沒有。而只有你，卻忘了我，你真的忙著什麼嗎？…我想，你真的不是一個人，而是一個蘑菇…”沒有用的蘑菇說：
「 我在忙的並不是你肉眼能感覺到的，我所想的也並不是馬上見著的…
」說話顯得是多麼的無力，就讓我們安靜的默默去做，腦筋已經轉過千百過念頭，怎能向誰誰解釋太多… …

郝元春就是一個滿腦怪異奇念的女孩，在可愛溫馴的外表下，蘊藏了激情、抖結及悲傷的觀感世界，時裝設計糸出身，以手作車蓬作為事業，但更愛插畫創作，喜歡日本浮世繪畫風格，她最喜歡的畫家山本タカト，影像充滿色情、暴力及神怪，同時，她又喜歡攝影師横浪修的作品，乾淨、清新偶爾有一點小搞怪令人會心一笑，同時愛上兩種風格懸殊的作品，就像現實與內心予盾的角力，欲言又止，反正這樣，就讓一切都寂靜下來吧！

"我喜歡你是寂靜的，仿若你消失了一樣。"----聶魯達。

閉上眼睛，
感覺有些散落的花朵
天空掉了色
言語開始變的蒼白
聽 風悲鳴
看 世界這麽孤獨
還有這些轉瞬即逝的傾訴
把時間拿掉好嗎
不要說話好嗎
安靜的聆聽
突然
潜意識的花朵在腦袋里盛開了
美好的你是暖灰色
喜歡的你是寂靜的

I Like You When You Are Quiet－ Mixed media illustrations by Yolanda Kog

A shy girl with a red apple-like face beaming sweet smiles. She speaks so softly that you may not even hear her, but only see her shiny eyes turning as her mind strays away to nowhere. We are virtually in a conversation yet neither of us understands what the other utters, while our minds wander away in their own different directions…

The commotion in her heart never rests. She exerts herself struggling, fighting against the social system until she finally lives the way she desires. Such are her creative ideas: Silence is in the eye of the storm. Despite of a very noisy and chaotic world, there’s still a silence area – a void – in our inner minds. Keeping silent does not mean speechlessness. Silence can be more expressive than words. Voicelessness is eternity. You are eternity.

As the tale goes, there’s a mushroom-headed girl without a mouth. Actually she’s not a big head but has no brain, neither is she a big brain where grows mushroom. Said the prince: “…Maybe you can’t find anyone in the world like me, who just tried all-out to come here. Now here I see nothing but you. But you apparently ignore me. What are you actually busy with? …I think, you
aren’t really a human being, but just a mushroom…”Answered the useless mushroom: “What I’m busy doing is not something you can feel with your naked eyes and what’s in my head it’s not something you can see right now…”
“Look, how powerless and fragile words may look. Just let’s do it quietly in silence. A thousand ideas have come and gone. How can I explain to others?”

Yolanda is such a girl, with a mind full of whims. Under her lovely and mild appearance hides a perceptual world of passion, confusions and melancholy. Though a fashion design major, she chose handicraft making (handmade and sewing) as her art career. Yet what she loves most is to create illustrations. She likes the style of Japanese Ukiyo-e (literally pictures of the floating world) and her most favorite painter is Takato Yamamoto, whose images are imbued with sensuality, violence and mystery. But she also likes works by Osamu Yokonami, which are neat, fresh yet occasionally funny and that can make her laugh. For Yolanda, loving simultaneously these two kinds of utterly different styles is just like the wrestling game between reality and her inner contradictions. She tries to elaborate further but gives up. Whatever! Just let all, quiet  down.
