隨意就好
很多人提議我要旅費的方法，例如做攝影模特兒或者上班工作。但我覺得開放家裡讓人來取書取CD 是一個更有趣的籌錢方法，我也因此認識了新的朋友，我感到相當幸福，多謝大家。
上一個 POST 的相片是製書餘下，相片多為自拍或朋友拍攝，沖晒之前己經問準權限。
來訪的朋友有時會問有沒有 POSTER SIZE 的相片可以給，我說沒有。
通常在展覽中的相片賣二萬至八萬元不等，我不會用攝影師朋友的相片隨便印製任何東西，除非事前傾談好版權的事情。我也不會規限攝師如何用我的相片，也不必問過我批準在任何地方展示或印製，因為作品是屬於他/她們的。
雖然我總是說給人拍照＊是隨意的，但大前提是我覺得舒服自然（「覺得」這會事是沒有準則的，睇心情羅），也有攝影師或學生會給我模特兒費用，其實我並不反對成為收費模特兒，但因為我也喜歡攝影，我不想「攝影」變成一種純綷的「交貿」，也討厭那種付費狂拍的態度，所以到現在為止我還沒有打算成為正式的收費模特兒，一切隨緣吧。
＊注： 拍照並不代表攝影。

係咪太濫
photo by Dan Dan Dan
近日和朋友談起拍裸照，幾位朋友都說我累積的相片太多，是時候選擇有意思的人合作，這樣對攝影師和我也有「好處」，而且相片發佈得多也會讓人生膩。
我想是時候更認真，近幾星期便老在思考「濫的問題」。
經常有人詢問，怎樣才可以找我拍照，或者有甚麼要求才可以和我合作，但事實上是沒有準則的，是直覺感到OK就行了。
一路以來替我拍照的，即使是攝影師也通常是朋友，或朋友的朋友。如果是本來不認識的，會先看對方的作品，經電郵或相約面談，順其自然地成為朋友，然後合作。有些我很欣賞的攝影師／朋友，我想成為她／他的模特兒，我會好好地present一下，希望合作／被拍。不過不是每次也都成功，經常出現的情況是：我很想被某人拍，某人卻不想；有人很想拍我，我不想。（好像也適用於談情說愛:P）
另外，有些學生找我做訪問／拍照，通常她們有一個已經想好的題目，或者她們的功課需要nude model。她們會以電郵或經我們共同的朋友轉介。這個情況也試過幾次，而巧合地都是女孩子，和她們合作是輕鬆愉快的，我只需要按她們的指示做就行。
我這種隨心所慾的做法完全沒有策略可言，又不覺得自己很「高級」，非要大師來為我拍照不可（有大師找我嗎？好啊 ^O^）。所以朋友找我拍照，我總是抱著：「就試試看，可能會有新體驗也說不定呢」。
要創作出讓人滿意的作品不多，在這裡發佈的雖然經過揀選，但大都不是完美的，反而是發佈「我覺得有意義的」為主。這裡以日記式每天發放，綜合來看時較為雜亂。至於完整的一套作品，通常會製作成小書或留待展覽時才展示。
也說不定有一天我會被這種過份隨意的性格拖垮。
拍了那麼多照片，裸和不裸沒有太大分別（除了會看到自己肥了瘦了殘了），R 說「裸體」本身也是一件衣服，更是我最常穿的一件。
以往大部份訪問都著重詢問「裸體」，我有各種或長或短的解釋，但重點離不開是請別人不要去區分裸不裸，他們便不會覺得「裸體」是一個「問題」。不過我每次這樣說時，訪問者常常搖頭，說看別人裸是可以的，但自己裸便要考慮。
我會問：有甚麼要考慮？
別人：太多了……
有人約我拍照，我有時會問A去不去。
A有時Ok，有時會問：好像沒有一定要被拍的理由。
我：是啊。
很多事情也可以不做，也沒有必須去做的理由，但沒做就是沒做，之後也沒有延伸發展下去的事情。所以在我感到厭倦之前，想做便做。可能會OK呢／可能會開心呢／可能會有新意呢／可能不OK、不開心、無新意／做了再才算，管不得是濫還是不。

我作為小丁 (More about the Exhibition )
廖雁寧LIU NGAN LING @ Fringe Club
更多關於展覽 More about the Exhibition
二零一零年八月我參與拍攝「支持最低工資$33」的錄像拍攝，錄像出街後媒體接二連三地找我做訪問。
八月最後的星期二， Milk 的記者 B 來我家做了一個簡單的「家訪」。接著九月的第一個星裡，我一連拍了三個錄像訪問：分別是（九月四日）星期六 Paris Première 電視台、九月六日 aoopz.com 和九月七日 VDOnext，三個訪問裡我主要都是重複一大堆之前在其他訪問裡講過的「基本資料」，然後再加插些（可能）「新料」。
從許多的訪問中，我察覺到大家對「小丁」的興趣不大，通常都是對「裸體」、「露體」或「露體狂」更為關注。有人說「裸體」、「露體狂」是「小丁」最為人知的「標籤」，因為我差不多在每一次訪問裡都會重複地講關於「裸體」的種種。雖然我不介意重複亦不介意被「標籤」，但其實覺得頗悶。我仍然樂意地重複暢談著相同的問題，主要是期待大家不要再大驚小怪了，快點「講爛」這個題目吧！不過，我想大家正如 Ah P 和何山為我寫的那首歌《露體狂小丁》裡的一句歌詞一樣，「這裡的人最終都不會明 世界永沒法安靜」
訪問做得多，我把「小丁」的事情講得多，有時我以為自己好像更了解和接近自己，但後來發現「小丁」好像不是自己，而是另一個人。我講完一大堆又一大堆的說話後，那些話語好像形成另一個不存在的「東西」，而這「東西」大都是由別人的提問產生的，真正的我卻在旁邊浮遊著、觀看著，好奇地看別人怎樣看「小丁」。
我作為小丁又好，作為自己又好，真正的我是只個努力維持早睡早起生活的人，硬是要上「標籤」去形容的話，未必只有「裸體狂」或者「性」（我不明白為甚麼在大部份的訪問裡，在問及關於身體之後，接下去談的必定是性，看來大家所關心的問題也相當原始。^_^），也可以包括書蟲、電影迷、畫畫人、香港人、懶惰人、不做運動的人和愛睡鬼等等吧。而我的夢想就是，希望在香港這小地方裡的人們，「將來做甚麼也好，都不用捱貴租。」*

Me as Siu Ding
August 2010, I participate in a video shooting of “Support Minimum Wage $33”. After it has out on air, press invited me for interviews one after another.
On the last Tuesday in August, reporter B from Milk magazine comes to my place for a causal “Home Visits”. Following with 3 video interviews in the first week of September, they were Paris Première TV station on the 4th Saturday, aoopz.com on the 6th and VDOnext on the 7th. Through all of these, I was mainly repeating plenty “Basic Information” from other interviews and tried to add some possible “News” to it.
From many of them, I found that people are actually not too much interested in “Siu Ding”, yet more concentrate on “Naked”, “Revealing” or “ Exhibitionist”. Some may say that all mentioned above are the most renewable “Label” of “Siu Ding” since I get to talk about everything of nudity each time. Although I don’t mind either the repetition or being labeled, I do feel pretty bored. The only reason that I am still willing to going on with the same subject is because I hope people can stop making a fuss over this and drain off on this topic as soon as possible. I think it’s just like the lyric from “Siu Ding The Exhibitionist” that Ah P and Hoshan wrote for me: “ The world shall not be calm for people here could never understood.”
The more interviews I have, the more I talk about “Siu Ding”, sometimes I feel like I have better understanding and reach deeper to myself, but then I realized that “Siu Ding” seems more like someone/something else than me. For a while, I speak and speak, then a lump of speech has created something that does not even exist, and this thing gave birth by people’s question marks. The real me am floating aside observing curiously and trying to understand how the others see “Siu Ding”.
Whether me as Siu Ding or myself, I am really just someone who tries hard to live a healthy life, if anyone wants to label me, “Exhibitionist” or “Sex” is actually not the only choices. (I don’t understand why most of the interviews has associate to sex issue whenever ask about my body afterward. It seems that people’s general concern is also quite primitive. ^_^” I can too be label as books and film addicted, illustrator, HKer’, or even a lazy butt who never excises and so much fond of sleep, etc.
And I have a dream that everyone who lives in such a small region as Hong Kong: “Despite what they do, none of them would have to suffer for over-price accommodation rent anymore.”*

她的故事
未懂事時老爸說身為女孩子不應嬌嗲易哭；小學時偷看鹹書被沒收；初中時生物課的性器官環節老師避而不談；緊接領教了修女們提醒墮胎如何殘忍；然後是初嘗戀愛時沉迷在魔鏡中漫畫美少女的形象；讀了文學以後照樣不放過看《怪異集》——廖雁寧的身體在不同的身份中扮演著各種角色，她談不上喜愛自己的身體，但她對性別和自身的好奇從來沒有停止過。
年長了的她因身邊重要的朋友令她改變對身體的看法，並結伴拍了裸露身體的照片。事後她被讀書時的老師邀請回校跟新生們分享關於「身體」的經驗，驅使她著手整理對自身的認知。
在這個展覽，廖雁寧會為你講一個她的故事，希望藉此拓闊大家的世界，忘記規條與標籤，引發你對自身的重新思考。
身體是我們最基本的部份，細看它的和諧、展示它的不完整，觸摸喜歡和不喜歡的地方，當中反映情感和慾望，喜悅和自信。
平靜地和身體一起呼吸，讓你看見宇宙中的我們是那麼渺小。
Her Story
Since childhood, she was confused by the taboos and different portrayals of the female sex– Dad told her not to be a cry baby; her primary school teacher confiscated “forbidden” books showing female naked bodies; the biology teacher evaded chapters with illustrations of the genitals; the reverend sisters reaffirmed the brutality of abortion; later came the influence of beautiful girl images in romance comics and various literature... Along her blooming years, her body image was mirrored in different roles. Though never fond of her own body, her curiosity about her own self and sexuality never subsided.
After she grew up, she was inspired by her close friends who changed her concept about the body, and she came face to face with her naked self. She started to take nude pictures of herself and shared her thoughts on the body and the self with students in her mother school.
Through telling her story, she wants to bring others to unveil their bodies and confront their selves, leaving behind rules and taboos.
Breathe with your own body; caress its harmony and imperfection, and savor the joy and desire, the calmness and emotions. The body is a pearl born of mother nature.
