Atelier Shül

Shül 在古希臘語是 scholé：閒暇,

或者,一個讓人停下來討論、學習的空間。

後來它變成意第緒語裡的「學堂」。

人們聚在那裡,不為了得到答案,

只為了一起待在問題裡。

而它在另一個更久遠的語言中

是代表事物走過,所留下的痕跡。

像那些人們依然在傳頌的故事,

大概不曾真的被誰的雙眼看見,

但在心裡大家都感到它在某個久遠的地方確實發生過。

Atelier Shül 的創作時常說不出開頭和結尾。

它們都散落在生活的各處了,

留下的,大多是帶著對生命問句的各種形狀,

和通往沒有時間的地方的麵包屑。

Shül in Ancient Greek, scholé means leisure—

or a space to pause, to gather, to learn.

Later, it became the Yiddish word for a school:

a place where people came together,

not to find answers,

but to stay with the questions.

In another, more ancient language,

Shül speaks of the traces left behind—

the marks of something that has passed through.

Like the stories that are still carried through generations.

Perhaps no one ever witnessed them,

yet somewhere within us,

we believe they happened in its own way.

The beginning and ending of Atelier Shül

are scattered throughout life,

leaving behind forms shaped by all the questions to Life,

and breadcrumbs leading somewhere timeless.
