more of a feeling than a dance — jas lin 林思穎

more of a feeling than a dance is an ongoing [documenting / archiving / marking] of the [body / self / becoming] in relation to the Flesh of [space / time / memory / tonality] (both intimate and exterior). these ephemeral frames of land/sound/body-scape exist in the continual Present, giving a Future to the Past–– each playback a localization of a memory, a memory of a memory, a performance of a memory, a memory of a dream, a fiction of a reality on a plane of abstracted time. they evoke and integrate [old / new] truths, imaginations, lessons, evolutions, sensation, detail in [retrospect / reverb / recollection / reconfiguration]. a birthing of myself, a study of me (studying the source of knowledge that comes from our very own bodies), a diary that fills in some of the intangible gaps my written journal leaves (for Language is not only text, but also image, space, movement, etc.). a way for future selves to Grieve, to recall Home in temporary spaces, to mark the corners of my World, to learn more about the worlds around me and inside of me, to embody the Poetics of Space. guided by our intimate oneness and connectivity as i’m becoming deeply uninterested in (bored by, INTOLERANT OF, even?)
