2022

2021年，臺灣正陷於疫情三級，云云 Yun Collective 轉往線上探索，並在 Instagram上透過關鍵字 #performativedrawing 與克羅埃西亞的藝術家 Mia Štark 牽起了線。同樣深受「繪畫的表演性」吸引的兩方，從視訊聊天，逐漸發展成一個長期的「城市筆友計畫」：她們不只實體通信、定期視訊，更於2022年六月共創一連線展演，於克羅埃西亞的札各瑞布當代美術館呈現。

2022年十一月，《致親愛的你 Sincerely Yours》城市筆友計畫來到第二階段：Mia Štark 跨越六個時區飛來臺灣，聊了一年的網友終於實體會面。十天的時間，以文山區小丘上Ruby 兒時的家為基地據點，她們逐步摸索著臺北的輪廓： 透過捷運、公車、Ubike還有雙腳，透過觀看展演、參與舞蹈、享用食物、拜訪各式景點，透過大大小小、深入或者輕淺的談話，透過攝影、素描、剪貼還有繪畫.......

「這裡其中一樣美好的事就是：多層次的風景！如果要我形容臺北，第一個想到的是『綠』，可能還有『野』和『新』......」 Mia Štark

Sincerely Yours is a long distance project between Yun Collective and Croatian artist Mia Štark. First shown as an online performance at the Museum of the Contemporary Art in Zagreb, Croatia (June 2022). Then, it was presented as Open Studio and Sharing Performance in Taipei Artist Village, Taiwan (November 2022).

At a distance of six time zones, through the medium of live stream, Yun Collective and Mia found a common language within movement, choreography and leaving traces. Brought together, quite by accident and thanks to social networks, they decided to dedicate their artistic research on differences and similarities within languages, landscapes, cities (the ones they live in now and have lived in before), their times, their drawings and their movements.

Sincerely Yours (Yours sincerely…) becomes a digital live stream of “letter writing” intertwined with visuals and sounds of different places and spaces that in the end creates a unique and specific sort of a map like drawing. Sincerely Yours is a letter, a live stream video, a dream-like collapsed moment, a gap between languages, a virtual reality and a friendly pen pal all at once.
