5 | Do you want a hug?
3-way conversation between Brother Nut 坚果兄弟, UBERMORGEN and The Third Sister
Dear Third Sister,
This is a clear and moving letter; I have received it. I have kept it in mind, and I tried to reply many times, but amidst the chaos and turbulence, I always felt I couldn’t quite keep up with the rhythm.
I am often in a state of chaos and fragmentation. Much of the time, I find myself influenced and propelled by the voicelessness, poverty, and chaos of the marginalized villagers and the young people who no longer believe in the future.
The chaos of the outside world and my own internal chaos are tangled together.
I think of us as instigators fanning the flames everywhere in the cracks of the system. As creators, the art projects we drop into the system one after another are sometimes eggs, sometimes depth charges, sometimes viruses, sometimes a gust of wind...
As rapid or slow chain reactions unfold within the system, we ourselves are often blown by strong winds into further depths.
When danger approaches, when everything is in doubt, when traditional trust collapses, a hug is important.
Even more important.
Sometimes late at night, especially after raising my Nth glass, I think of the distant continent and the existence of UBERMORGEN. In those moments, there is a non-ceremonial, mirror-like embrace across the distance—a real, resonant warmth.
Hugs!!
Nut
第三姐妹：
这是一封清晰且动人的信，我接受到了。我一直记得，我多次试图回信，但在一片混乱与动荡中，我总是跟不上节奏。
我常常处于混乱与分裂之中，很多时候我被同处于底层的村民与不再相信未来的年轻人的失语、贫穷与混乱所影响，所推动。
外部世界的混乱和我自身的混乱，搅在一起。
我想到我们作为系统缝隙里到处煽风点火的人，作为创作者，我们往系统里投放的一个又一个艺术项目，有时是鸡蛋，有时是深水炸弹，有时是病毒，有时是一阵风……
在系统内部快速或缓慢连锁反应之时，我们自身也常常被大风吹往更远的深处。
在危险来临之际，怀疑一切之际，在传统的信任崩塌之际，拥抱很重要。
更重要。
有时在深夜，特别是在端起第N杯酒后，我想起遥远的大陆，还有UBERMORGEN的存在，便有一种非礼仪性的镜像般的隔空拥抱，一种共振的真实的温暖。
拥抱！！
坚果
