Meet Your First Red

坂本龙一在他的最后演出“Playing the Piano 2022” ，以“Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence”一曲作结。
他视是次演出为人生最后一次演出，并以一首让世人认识的作品作结，他的演出完全流露出他的情绪以至他对音乐至死不渝的热爱 — 他的肢体语言，本来就是一首动听的音乐。
“Gesture of the last play” 撷取并分析了坂本龙一在此一演奏时的肢体动作，并转化成音乐 — 一曲由坂本人生演奏的最后一曲、以身体所演绎的音乐。

Ryuichi Sakamoto played “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence” as the last song in his last performance "Playing the Piano 2022". 
His performance reveals his emotions and his undying love for music - his body language is a beautiful piece of music.
"Gesture of the last play" captures and analyzes Ryuichi Sakamoto's body movements during this performance, and transforms them into music - a last play of Sakamoto's life, a piece of music performed with his body gesture.

Gesture of the Last Play Tribute to Ryuichi Sakamoto

游历、离开、回来
寻找、迷失、来回
无论在那里
我们都是旅人
在熟悉的人潮中
在陌生的街灯下
在无知与意识转化为脉搏的律与动之间
行著 走著 行著
在无可避免的氛围中
在难以抗拒的距离间
呼著 吸著 呼著
身体与心灵
无形的颤动
无声的被听见

四个城市
四个故事
四种律动
四段音乐

听著 听著 听著
我们都是旅人
寻找自己的心跳
回到自己的节奏


Roving, leaving, returning
Searching, lost, back and forth
No matter where we are
We are all travellers
In familiar crowds
Under foreign streetlights
In between the rhythm and movement of transformation from ignorance to consciousness 
Walking, walking, walking
 an inevitable ambience
In irresistible distances
Breathing, inhaling, exhaling
Body and mind
Invisible tremors
Silently being heard

Four cities
Four tales
Four loops of rhythms
Four trails of music

Listening, listening, listening
We are all travellers
Searching for our heartbeats
Returning to our own rhythms

大自然的崇高使感受汇聚，人们往往能在游历中得到启发。古今艺术家同样透过游历诱发出敬畏、无限或微小的感受，并试图在不同的创作领域中重现这种体验。
《稻浪四时》以谢稚柳和陈佩秋在游历山水后的创作出发，利用人工智能方式运算，将他们笔下的四季转化成环形全景，再复合在稻田之上，以动态及音乐呈现四时更迭，让观众感受两位画家不同的创作节奏，塑造出四时之境的「新画布」。「新画布」统合了不同媒体，结合数位与类比等艺术表现，意图让观众进入一种崭新的情绪及感官体验。
观众可置身于以谢、陈的美学为基础而再创作的维度之中，以色彩和速度、风和声，经历二人对自然的感悟。

We are often moved by the grandeur of nature while travelling. Similarly, artists in the past and today felt reverence for the infinity of nature and their own dimensions in the universe through their excursions. They are motivated to recreate such experiences through various artistic genres. The Seasons Field is an installation inspired by Xie Zhil'u's and Chen Peiqiu's works after their travels through natural landscapes. It Uses Al algorithms to transform their depictions of the four seasons into a panoramic view that is superimposed onto a paddy field. This arrangement captures the seasons transitions and Xie and Chen's different painting patterns, weaving a "New Canvas" that features landscapes of the seasonal cycle. "New Canvas" integrates various media as well as art forms like digitalisation and analogy, in an attempt to provide an unprecedented emotional and sensory experience. Based on the aesthetics of Xie and Chen, this installation immerses the audience in dimensions where they can experience the duo's sentiments towards nature through pace and colour, wind and sound.
