Performance statement:
樹冠羞避，樹木即使長的很靠近, 頂端的樹冠枝枒亦互不觸碰遮擋, 明確的邊界就像是森林的一道道河流分支。連理枝，相鄰的兩棵樹隨著在風中不斷生長，相交的枝葉經過長期摩擦，樹皮磨蝕，樹枝相交, 癒合後密接在一起，兩棵樹就此成了生命共同體。
我們嘗試將和彼此的相處濃縮在行為現場中, 同時即時地反應對彼此距離的思考和感受, 展開一場有關關係和連結的實驗。在有限的時間裡嘗試達成共識, 我應該多靠近你, 情感要多直接炙熱, 拒絕要多明確冷漠, 我們的距離應該是多少?

王穎琳於2000年出生於香港, 對社會文化和權力倫理有濃厚興趣, 主要以融合現場表演和影像藝術等媒介的方式創作。她相信文化是烙印在身體中的, 致力發展以身體出發和敘事性的作品, 從個人身體形象問題延伸到社會政治話題。在香港大學獲得比較文學和香港研究的雙主修文學士學位後, 她目前在香港從事行為藝術創作、舞蹈編作和演出、以及影像創作的工作。
By Vivian WONG Wing Lam's interests in cultural representation and ethics of power, she is an independent creator who dabbles in mixed medium creation, exploring the possibilities created by the interflow of live performance and lens-based art. Wong believes that culture is imprinted in physical existence, which drives the artist dedicated to developing narrative and body-based work, extending from individual physical image issues to socio-political topics. Wong is currently based in Hong Kong as a dancer, performance artist, and video director after obtaining her BA in Comparative Literature and Hong Kong Studies at The University of Hong Kong.
