Rain Poems (2019)

rain, water transfer printing paper (tattoo paper), paper, and ink

In "Rain Poems", referential text about rain was printed on water transfer printing paper (tattoo paper) and left outside to be affected by raindrops. The words that remained visible­—selected by the raindrops in their pressure and rhythms—are perceived to be the rain's own poetry.

The sound of raindrops hitting the surface was recorded while making these poems. Readers are expected to listen to the recordings while they read the rain poems. Just as all widely spoken human languages have both written and spoken forms, these recordings are the phonemic version of the rain’s writings.

雨诗(2019)

雨水,水转印纸(纹身纸),纸墨

从图书馆里收集的有关雨的参考文字被印在水转印纸(纹身纸)上,并被留在雨中以致影响。雨滴的压力和节奏选择出那些仍然可见的词句,被认为是雨创作的诗歌。

在制作这些诗歌时,雨滴打在纸面上的声音被录了下来。读者在阅读雨诗时会听到这些录音。正如所有广泛使用的人类语言都有书面形式和口头形式一样,这些录音是雨的书写的音位版本。
