前言

Exhibition intro

“如果你用无辜的眼睛看，一切都是神圣的”

  ——费德里柯·费里尼 , 意大利电影导演 

Shekhina 来自希伯来语：神圣的存在。在阿拉伯语中，意为 “宁静”。

耶路撒冷第二神殿被毁后，犹太学者的著作提到了Shekhina一词。然而，此‘神圣的存在’的具体位置仍然不能被确定。

对于犹太教、基督教、和伊斯兰教的追随者来说，耶路撒冷老城是一个神秘而神圣的地方。根据犹太传统，它是神圣精神的住所。

2020年8月，在新冠疫情肆虐期间，我踏上了前往耶路撒冷老城之旅。在十六世纪的古城墙内，穿过有历史地标的空巷、无人问津的纪念品摊位和废弃的花园，在当地居民和流浪猫之间漫步，我发现了一个难得的寻找那种 “Shekhina - 神圣的存在”的机会。这里有观察、重新联系和拥抱安宁的空间。这里的神圣性变得自然而然且触手可及，仿佛Shekhina存在于每个角落。它点燃了我内心的灵感和意愿，让我与自己与周围的环境联系起来。

我想，也许，Shekhina隐匿于世，潜藏在每个人的情感和深深的欲望中，等待着一个安静而专注的时刻被我们发现。

‘If you see with innocent eyes, everything is divine.’

----Federico Fellini, Italian film director

In Hebrew, the word Shekhina (שכינה) translates as ‘divine presence’. In Arabic ( سكينة) it means ‘tranquillity’.

After the destruction of the second temple in Jerusalem in 70CE, the term ‘Shekhina’ could be found in writings by Jewish scholars and in Talmudic literature. However, precisely where this divine presence is to be found remains vague. The old city of Jerusalem is a mysterious and sacred place for the followers of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. According to the Jewish tradition it is the dwelling place of the divine spirit.

In August 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic I made a journey to Jerusalem old city. From within the 16th century city wall, across the empty alleys with the historical landmarks, deserted souvenir stalls and abandoned gardens, strolling among the local residents and stray cats, I found a rare opportunity to search for that ‘sacred presence’. There was a space to observe, reconnect and embrace the tranquillity. The holiness of the place became natural and could be felt on a personal level, as if Shekhina existed in every corner. It ignited within me the inspiration and a will to connect with the surroundings and myself. 

Perhaps, I thought, hidden from the outside world, Shekhina lurks within one’s feelings and deep desires, awaiting a moment of quite and mindful presence to be discovered.
