肌理记忆
Textual Memory


纹身意味着打开伤口、选择疼痛,但同时也给了肌体一个活化与愈合的契机。延续着离离草对于身体、亲密与关怀的探索,这次我们想要以纹身这个主题一起思考:我们的身体如何记忆?作为纹身师和被纹身者双方都需要投入生命经验的情感劳动,纹身如何带来疗愈和赋权?
Tattooing means opening a wound and choosing pain, yet it also offers a space for activation and healing of the body. Continuing with CAO’s practice around body, intimacy, and care, we would like to ask: As emotional labor that needs both the tattoo artist and the tattooed to engage in lived experiences, how can tattooing heal and transform?
