“幻想的朋友 IMAGINARY FRIEND”张占占个展

你的童年是否出现过这样一个朋友。

当爸妈出门上班，把你一人锁在屋里。你听着蝉鸣刺耳，感觉白天漫长到永远都不会结束。不知从哪儿来，TA就这样出现在你身边。你们聊过多少秘密？夏天的某个午后，你喝完了最后一瓶汽水，打了多响亮的一个嗝；有闪电的夜晚，你明明看见枯枝变成巫婆的手指；你躲在被窝里，抽泣着说逝去的亲人只是去了北极…
你们讲了好多好多：开心的、悲伤的、愤怒的…

你还记得TA的名字吗？TA长什么样子？还有，TA从哪一天起就再也没有出现过？是不是突然有一天，你发现TA连告别都没有，就这样悄无声息的离开？而你却在镜子中自己的笑容里看到TA的影子。于是你明白，你已经长大到可以一个人面对孤独。

但你还会偶尔想起TA吧？当微风拂过，似乎隐约闻到那个夏天的气味。或是当今天你置身于此，想起童年的自己会心一笑，孤独已显得如此饱满。

谢谢，我的Imaginary Friend。

Have you ever had such a friend in your childhood? When your parents leave for work and leave you at home. You hear the cicadas shrill, and it feels like the day will never end. Out of nowhere, he just appear next to you.

How many secrets have you shared? One summer afternoon, after you drank your last soda, what a loud burp you made. On a night of lightning, you plainly see the fingers of a witch; You hide under the covers and sob that your dead loved ones just went to the North Pole...You talked about it a lot: happy, sad, angry...

Do you remember his or her name? What does he look like? And, what day has he never been seen again?Is it true that one day, you found that they did not even say goodbye, so quietly left? But you see them in your own smile in the mirror. Then you know that you are old enough to face loneliness alone.

But don't you think about them once in a while?When the breeze blows, it seems faintly smells the smell of that summer. Or when you place yourself here today, remember the childhood of their knowing smile, loneliness has appeared so full.

Thank you, my Imaginary Friend.
