In these long journeys of wandering and following traces, I increasingly perceive images born under the radiance of one of the 10 to the 24th power of stars, alive with the life of living language. Different materials are linked to one another in a condensed configuration. Living forms seem to emerge from among metal, glass, clay, and mineral, presenting an entirely new geomorphic–ecological landscape. These works testify to the diversity of material genealogies and point toward a “conception of life beyond biological lineages.” From this understanding, materials such as clay, water, and minerals—commonly categorised by humans as “inorganic”—can be seen as possessing, under certain conditions, the potential to transform into particular life-forms or life-experiences, and thus to be included within a broader genealogy of life. I refer to this generative, mutational, and transformative quality as vitality.
在这些漫长的行走与追随迹象的旅途中。我越发感受到从10的24次方颗恒星间的光芒中诞生的形象，活跃于一种生命的语言中。 不同的物质以一种凝结的姿态彼此串联。生灵从金属、玻璃、陶土和矿石间诞生，呈现出一种全新的地貌生态景观。它们构成了对物质谱系多样性的佐证，并指向着一种“生物谱系以外的生命观”。 在此理解之下，无论是金属、水还是矿石等往往被人类归为“无机物”的材料，便具有了在特定条件下向某种生命形态或生命经验转化的潜能，因而可以被纳入生命谱系中。我将这种指向生成、变异与转化的特质称为“生命性”。
