Wishing Fountain/Well
Ceramic sculpture by Elvo.
取一顆巧克力,許一個願望,再把糖紙丟入池中。
願望的實現或許需要代價,而在這裡,這些願望不一定要實現.
作者認為除祛慾望的驅使, 願望的背後多數是出於遺憾抑或苦痛.
通過幾個月的食物外送工作,作者將從其中獲得的酬勞全部換成池中的巧克力,藉此來分享他的喜悅或是苦痛。
他意指,人與人產生的最基礎且直接的聯繫, 在現在或許只有食物最為貼切了。
而他希望通過一個甜點的代價,換取大家一些許願的時間,在這個池中休憩,默默地分享自己的願望或苦痛。
然後把他們留在那,就如那糖果紙一樣。
Take a piece of chocolate, make a wish, and throw the wrapper into the pool.
There may be a price for making wishes come true, but here they don't have to be. Besides desire, the creator believes wishes are made out of regret or pain, and he wants to share his joy and pain by exchanging the pay from months of delivering food for pieces of chocolate. He believes that food is perhaps the most basic and direct connection between people. At the price of a dessert, everyone can make a wish, have some rest by the pool, and share their regrets and pains in silence.
And then leave them in the pool, just like the piece of wrapper.
