Mind-Blowing - LIN Pei-Yao

In the silence of the whisper of the wind, thoughts serve as both talking and listening. I’ve gathered some fragments of time perception via consciousness, attempting to manifest them in the circulating fan blades, the transparency in various states of visibility, and the flowing air.

Mind-blowing implies something extremely exciting or surprising, literally presenting something that “blows the mind” or a mind being blown. Besides the flow of consciousness caused by external changes, there are also words long-buried within the body emerging, flashing through the mind. The “sound” is both familiar and alien, like oneself from long ago.

This is a theater of interaction between oneself and one’s own body, playing between the everyday and the dramatic. When alone in one’s own consciousness, is it the mind blowing, or is it the mind being blown? As one stares at the continuously moving fan long enough, the wind blows, perhaps occasionally speaking to you as well. Consciousness flows, between the movement of the wind and the movement of the mind.

Hello, friend. Talk to me. Listen to me. In this era, everyone speaks alone to the countless absent others.
