What roles are you playing? What factors influenced your choice of roles? How far are they from who you really are?

Throughout our life time we are framed in certain roles. In childhood, there are colors we are expected to like and toys to choose. Later, the behavior our parents await from us and hobbies they think suit us create certain social circles around us that shape personality and define our social roles. Mostly, we conform to the guidelines provided by the roles we perform, we look for appreciation and hope to be perceived in a certain way.  We follow behavior patterns that are considered to be the norm by our social circles and we rarely ask ourselves questions like “Do I want to do what I’m doing?” “Am I living a happy life?”

Mumuko’s idea to change her life from a very organized, hard-working Japanese young woman into a wandering artist might seem quite extreme, but at the same time very intriguing. We started going through her photo stories and I could see that she is curious; she photographs different people, explores and follows their personal development to see how they perform their role. When she told me about her lifestyle saying that she has no plans and follows her destiny, the first question I asked myself was “could I do it?” We try on different roles to understand what suits us and I believe this became a main purpose of the exhibition: to show that there is a choice.

Mumuko’s connection to the city is a photo-story she has been working on for several years - photographing a major cultural happening in Yunnan – Yang Liping’s troupe. This story, as most works presented in this exhibition, refer to social circles, but focus on individuals. Through photos, videos, sounds and installations she tries to show what isn’t in focus: personalities, circumstances, atmospheres.

By any means this exhibition is not a denial or judgment of anyone’s behavior. It simply invites the audience to take a moment and think about their lives, the decisions made and future choices.

All the world’s a stage,

And all the men and women merely players:

They have their exits, and their entrances;

And one man in his time plays many parts.

William Shakespeare

你是否在扮演着什么角色？是否存在什么因素影响你的角色选择？这些形象与真实的你相差多远呢？

我们一生都处于角色扮演的游戏中。童年时代，我们可以根据自己的喜好选择颜色及玩具。随着年龄的增长，父母会逐渐引导我们的行为及爱好，让其朝着自己所期盼的方向发展，由此衍生出具有可控性的社交圈，这个过程在塑造我们个性的同时，却也强加定义了我们社会角色。大多数人，大多数时候，都中规中矩的扮演着自己所被赋予的角色，藉此寻求别人的欣赏，渴求着来自他人的认同感。我们遵循社交圈里公认的行为模式，但却很少问自己“我正在做的事是我想做的吗？”“我的生活幸福吗？”

夢無子将自己从恪守纪律、勤奋工作的日本年轻女子转变为一个流浪艺术家，这个想法可能听起来非常极端，但同时也非常有趣。我们不难从她的照片和背后的故事中看出她对世界的好奇心，她的镜头中涵盖着人世百态，摸索探寻他们的人生轨迹，谈笑而道他们对于自身的愿景。当她告诉我她的生活方式，说她没有计划，只是遵循她的命运向前走时，我首先想问自己的是“我能做到吗？“我们试着扮演不同的角色，以了解什么适合我们，这成为也是本次展览的一个主要目的：给观者感受“选择”所拥有的力量与回响。

夢無子与这座城市的联结，映射在她多年来纪录拍摄的这个故事中——云南广为人知的文化里程碑式纪录作品——杨丽萍与她的剧团。本次展览呈现的大部分作品皆来于此，与展出的其他类型作品相似，艺术家透过“社交圈”这块幕帘，窥探其中每一个角色。通过照片，视频，声音和装置，淡化人们对于个性，境遇以及氛围这些主观因素的重视程度。

总之，这次展览不是对任何人行为的否定或判断。本次展览想要传述的，是希望每一位观众都能花一点儿时间思考自己的生活、权衡当下与未来所做出的每一个选择。

整个世界是一座舞台，

所有上场的男男女女不过是演员。

他们都有其退场和登场；

人生在世扮演着多种角色，
