Brief In this project I want to describe the loneliness of the flâneur. This idea came from one of the sentence in the project brief. -

Creative Writing 我在寻找的东西 / 是不是这里也没有呢 / 已经不知道去过多少 地方 / 又找了多久 / 我始终找不到能束缚我的城市 / 我猜可能 是因为地球太圆 / 很容易滑落 / 我即找不到立足之地也抓不到 着力点 / 我也想过如果能抵达世界度顶端 / 大概就能停下来了 吧 / 但我知道那样的地方并不存在 / 我们会一直在中间 / 當然 也可能是因為我太笨 / 理解不了這些充滿矛盾的街道 / 他們時 而充滿驚奇亂得令人炫目 / 時而又靜的令人顫抖 / 我不斷地凝 視著這樣的地球和它身上無數條的街道 / 卻什麼也找不到 / 不 是這個 / 大概也不是這個 / 我曾經以為是這個 / 但好像也不是
