Looking at my kindergarten photos, I found a sense of familarity and strangeness. It feels like I was observing how the norm was eduated to this little girl through games and tasks. And it is difficult to unlearn.
Also, I believed that birthday is unique for every individual. But when I flipped over those ‘birthday month’ photos, it was wierd to see that lots of cakes were put on table. This visually blurred the difference among individuals.
在一次翻閱自己幼稚園時的照片後,被箇中既熟悉又帶點陌生的片段吸引著,感覺是抽離地觀看幼小的自己在各種遊戲和任務中學習規範,而且已難以擺脫規範。
另外,小時候總認為每個人的生日是獨一無二的,但重看幼稚園辦「生日月」,桌上堆著多個蛋糕的相片,視覺上模糊了每個個體的分別,反正只是一堆蛋糕,一件例行工事罷了。
