《家家有本難念的經》是一句中國諺語，意旨每個家庭中都會有難以解決的問題。本書 是以廟宇助印流通的經書為靈感，所做成的替代書籍。信徒透過閱讀朗誦經書尋求心 靈的安定與解脫，但《家家有本難念的經》將文字模糊成圖像化，以「不可讀」的狀態暗 喻家庭中複雜難解的混沌;在流通上則挪用民間「助印善書」的概念，現場可直接拿取 隨喜捐贈，亦可透過塡寫表單線上助印，廣為傳播。
“Jia Jia yo ben nan nain de jing” is a Chinese saying. This saying literally means, every family has a hard-to-read scripture, which is a metaphor that every family is bound to encounter problems that are difficult to solve.
This work is an alternative book inspired by the scriptures printed and circulated by temples. Believers seek spiritual peace and relief by reading and reciting scriptures, but ” Jia Jia yo ben nan nain de jing ” blurs the text into images, using the “unreadable” state as a metaphor to symbolize the complex and incomprehensible chaos in the family.
In the exhibition place, people can directly pick up the books and donate printing fee, or fill in the form online to help printing and spread the work widely. Rooting inspiration from Taiwanese temple traditional cus- toms, this practice embodies the concept of ‘charity’ through the produc- tion of printed scriptures. This work would like to explore how the public can acquire and spread information through online and physical interac- tions.
