算來已有很久未寫一顆字，
未按一下快門。
我想你們也習慣了我這種自由散漫的態度，
反正都是自由交配，
你想看就看， 我想寫就寫。

一年後的布宜諾賽勒斯也因為政黨的變化而染升著更多的憤怒和不安，
我在這種不安的莫名歸屬感中繼續著我拍了一年多的專案。
閒適的時候， 我去街上擺攤兒賣照片， 每天和各種街頭藝人打成一片，
聽著各種路人的奇妙故事， 說實話， 那比我在倫敦辦展覽要來的開心的多，
於是， 我開始思考藝術價值的問題。
–
Buenos Aires one year after,
has been increasing the anger and uncertainty
after the change of the party.
I kept shooting my project
during this uncertain belonging.
Went to sell my photo on the street,
got along with the street artist,
listen to all kinds of crazy stories
of different strangers,
honestly, that was much happier
than exhibition in London.
So I got to think about the value of the art.

我以為我會在布宜諾斯稍作停歇，
後來， 日常開始慢慢的吞噬我，
我百無聊賴，
只想生活再喂我那顆新鮮感的解藥。
於是我又踏上了去santiago， 智利的飛機。
這一次我想試試不花錢的生存方式， 原因很簡單，
因為工作掙錢買東西的商品社會我已經試過了，
我想要探索一些更有趣的系統外的生活途徑。
–
I thought I was going to stay in BA a bit,
but the daily life started to hit me,
I was bored to death, begging for an other movement.
So I end up on the plane to Santiago,
but this time, I’m trying to live another way not depending on money.
The reason is simple,
I have done pretty well in the system,
now I wanna see if I can find
some alternative way outside of the system.

Santiago比布宜諾斯多了一些甜味，
如果阿根廷像一頭紅色鬥牛一般
在草地裡狂奔舞蹈的時候，
智利就會像棕色駿馬一般左右平衡的前行。
這裡的一切都離大自然更近，
它讓人們有一種更平和寬廣的生活態度，
也少了阿根廷的那種
熾熱的把你融化了的熱情。
–
Santiago got this sweetness compare to BA.
if Argentina is like this red bull rushing and dancing in the wild,
Chile will be the brown horse that keep
moving forward with its balance.
Everything here is closer to the nature,
that brings the peace and wild to the people,
on the other hand,
also lack of the melting passion as argentines.

隨處可見廉價勞動力下的廉價商品, 這裡大概算是南美洲裡最被資本主義滲透的國家，
窮人都在公車上賣著幾塊錢的牙刷，巧克力的時候，阿根廷人都在賣著音樂和探戈舞曲。

With all kinds of the cheap products,
Chile is probably
the most “capitalism” country
in Latin America,
when the poor is trying to sell cheap toothbrush or chocolate on the bus,
argentine keeps selling music and dance.
收留我的Marcos是一個彈吉他的人，
17歲時從英國回到智利參加反對獨裁的革命，
然後去了牛津，劍橋掃蕩了所有的博士後後，在世界各地教書，
遊蕩了70多個國家之後
辭去了沙烏地阿拉伯月薪1.2萬美金的工作，
把自己放飛回到了智利彈吉他。
–
一個月後，我去了Valparaiso.
這是距離Santiago2小時車程的海邊小鎮，
整個城市被彩色的破敗房屋佔據，
野狗縱深在每個角落。
因為是港口，充斥著各種廉價商品
以及性價比更高的生活，
所以這裡也聚集了一群在藝術裡遊蕩的人。

The host that offer to couch surfer me
named Marcos, came back to Chile
when he was 17 to fight against dictatorship,
went to Oxford and Cambridge grabbed all the post-graduated diploma,
traveling and teaching in
more than 70 countries since then.
Last year he quitted the job in Saudi Arabic,
set himself free back to Chile
to be a musician.
–
One month later, I went to Valparaiso.
It’s a small town alone the sea,
occupied by colorful corrupted houses,
you meet street dog in every corner.
Because it’s a port,
the town is filled up with
cheap products and easier life.
it attracted bunch of artists as well.

這次遇見的是雕塑家Roberto，
他1.9的個子留著一頭長髮，
25歲的時候一個人跑到深山裡住了3年。
後來被山裡趕出來，他奮鬥了四年，
在Valparaiso買了一片山，
和不同的志願者在這裡建起了
果園，工作室和各種小木屋。
我在山上幫他敲石頭，做雕塑，磨羊皮。
半夜，兩個人總是一瓶紅酒，
談藝術，談道家，談這個世界。

My host Roberto does sculpture,
1.9 high with long hair,
he went to live in the mountain
when he was 25,
been kicked out from the mountain,
since then he worked very hard,
used the money brought a hill in Valparaiso.
Built the studio, the garden, all cabin
with different volunteers,
I helped him with
stone sculpture, making leather.
At night, with bottle of wine,
we talked and talked
about art, laozi and this world.

在磨完13張羊皮的一個月後，
我和Roberto告了別，
來到了智利南部的一個叫Chiloe的小島上。
這次的host是一個秘魯女人Sandra,
她經歷過秘魯時期的戰亂，
20歲的時候一個人去了倫敦，
放棄了建築師的工作，
開始了自由攝影師的人生，
在非洲的肯亞，秘魯的深山裡穿梭著，
直到18年前在智利santiago
遇見了同樣在旅行的美國人britt，
兩個認識了10個小時的人
決定來到Chiloe這座小島上生活。
然後他們在海邊建了房子，
然後有了三個女孩，
然後就再也沒有離開過。
–
After making 13 leathers,
I said goodbye to Roberto,
came to this island called Chiloe in the south.
I met Sandra here,
She is this Peruvian woman who suffer from the war,
went to London alone when she was 20,
gave up her architect career,
started as a photographer,
traveled everywhere,
and met Britt who is also a traveler
in Santiago 18 years ago.
They decided to come to Chiloe to start a life after they met for 10 hours.
Then they built the house,
then 3 girl came,
then they never left the island.
▼
▼
▼
在實驗了3個月不花錢的生活後，
我繼續在Chiloe探索著，
我想繼續在南美洲每一個國家走著，
和偶然進入我生活的人
建立一種更深層的聯繫，
當錢不作為等量交換的唯一標準的時候，
慢慢有了一種更開闊的視野，
我想這就是我想要的，
它們會潛移默化在我的攝影裡，
透出另一種光芒。

After 3 month of experimenting life
not on money,
I survived.
I want to keep going
one by one in Latin America.
Building deeper connection with
each person who comes to my life,
I start to have a wilder perspective of life
when money is not only common value,
I think this is exactly what I wanted.
They will melt into my photo,
build it to another level.
