In April 2014, I managed to get a part-time job. I was excited but nervous. It was to work as a performer in Museum Ludwig. I had to dress formal and look decent. So I bought a suit. On the opening day, the artist guided three of us, the ‘name announcers’, by himself. We had to stand at an exact position at the exhibition entrance. We had to ask every visitor for their names and then announce them really loudly into the exhibition space. The job was in shift-based. Each shift lasted for 4 hours. I worked 4 shifts a week.
At the beginning, it was not easy, especially when I wore a watch. I thought 30 minutes passed, but when I look at my 40-year-old mechanical watch, the minute hand just turned by 30 degrees. In order to kill boredom, I counted how many spotlights are there on the ceiling; how large the space is by counting the number of tiles. I tried different strategies of taking breaks, every 5 minutes for 30 minutes or every 10 minutes per hour, to make things feel faster. I watched the daylight change on the wall. I imagine how the weather changed outside, and how the tourists took photos of Dom.
Another colleague asked me another day, ‘How do you feel standing 4 hours straight?” ‘I don’t feel anything anymore. I just look at the white wall’, I smiled.

2014年4月, 我終找到一份兼職工作。當時我既興奮又緊張。這份工是在科隆一間著名藝術館內擔任一名表演員。衣着方面要求整齊及得體，所以我特地買了一套西裝。展覽開幕當日，藝術家親自指導我們這三位〈報名員〉。工作期間我必須站在展覽入口的同一位置。我詢問每位觀眾的姓名，隨即大聲向展覽方向宣讀出來。這份工是輪班制的。每班四小時，一星期四班。
有一天，同事問我：「站着4小時不休息的感覺怎樣？」
「我己經沒甚麼感覺了。我只是看着白牆。」我微笑說。

我小心地觀察那點綠色 － 怎麼形容呢？它總在變，就好比一位斯文淡定的魔鬼。你怎樣可能猜得透他的心？
我無意說得沒頭沒腦，但總是有太多令人着迷的小把戲，害我錯過了很多心要的細節。
那兩隻戰戰兢兢的海獅如何討好了我？哦，我沒有告訴你，那是周二午後，當我正喝着溫暖的啤酒。後來，我又在窗外發現兩隻打扮古怪的動物，在堆着厚雲天空下 － 我好像在哪裡見過他們。
我不知道。我自己也被半吊着胃口。
我只能碰運氣，等待繆思來滋養我的好奇心。有時我真的會碰到她，或者在廚房裡洗碗，或者在冰箱門後面。她總是埋首於不知道什麼瑣碎事之中。
你通常盯着什麼發吊？我常盯着自己，又無時無刻覺得在被誰盯着。
所有故事都已消亡，但是又每天反覆重演着，沒完沒了。我已分不清楚回憶和預感，就好像在將好多齣精彩絕倫的連續劇混着看。

I observed that green colour carefully – how should I describe it? That green was as mysterious as the heart of a gentle and calm devil, if one can know his heart?
I don’t mean to talk like this, as if without coherence, but there are always all these fascinating little tricks that seem to distract me from the necessary details.
How did those two frightened seals arouse my interest? Oh, I forgot to tell you, it was a Tuesday Afternoon and I was drinking warm beer. Later, I saw two animals in weird costumes outside the window and the sky was full of thick clouds – I must have seen them somewhere else.
I don’t know… I have this feeling of always hanging on, always wanting to know what will happen next.
I can only count on luck, waiting for the muse to come and nourish my curiosity. I sometimes bump into her, when she is washing dishes in kitchen; sometimes I find her behind her behind the door of the fridge looking for something. She always seems to be busy with whatever trivial thing comes her way.
What do you stare at, when you daydream? I usually stare at myself, always with the feeling that I’m also being stared at by someone else.
All these stories have passed and yet still they recur everyday, seemingly without end. I can no longer distinguish between the memories and the premonitions; it’s like I am watching several wonderful sitcoms unfolding at the same time.
