Chapter 515: Performance Artist
After listening to Miss Wen's story, Fang Gang and I looked at each other, each with a ghost in our hearts. Deng Kang didn't have any expression, it seems that he has been practicing the Fa for many years, and he doesn't pay much attention to this kind of mundane matter between men and women.
On the way back to the hotel by taxi, Fang Gang said: "In the future, I will also participate in that kind of fucking performance art exhibition, just strip naked and lie on the ground, Lao Tzu will also become an artist!" ”
I smiled and said, "It's not okay to just lie down." You'll also have to have critters to work with. Mr. Zeng got a few chicks, you can't be too similar, otherwise they will sue you for plagiarism. I suggest you find two puppies and tie a flesh bone to that place on your lower body, that's what makes a difference. ”
Fang Gang glared: "Your grandmother wants Lao Tzu to become a eunuch?" I laughed.
Deng Kang asked us when we were going to Laos, and I said, "When we take care of the amulet shop, we will leave." ”
Fang Gang discussed with Deng Kang if he could untie the head first, so that he and I could go to Azan Baden with peace of mind. Deng Kang patted Fang Gang's shoulder and said with a smile: "You can't untie your head in advance, but don't worry, it's hard to find a good friend like the two of you." I won't let you die, and I wish you all the best in your trip to Laos. Fang Gang squinted at him and didn't speak, I guess he had already scolded all his relatives in Dengkang in his heart.
Two days later, I was chatting with Fang Gang in the Buddhist brand shop, when I received a phone call from Miss Wen, and her voice was very excited: "Consultant Tian, I was shopping with Mr. Zeng in the mall, and his attitude towards me has changed, saying that I am a different woman!" "I thought to myself, Dengkang's love surrender is really effective, and even a high-quality guy like Mr. Zeng can change.
"I told him that he knew a few friends who specialised in selling amulets in Thailand, and one of them was a Venerable Master who had just held a puja in Hong Kong. Mr. Zeng was very interested and wanted to ask if there was a Buddhist card that could prosper his career. "This is really a windfall, I quickly said that there is no problem, let them have time to come to the Buddha shop to have a look. Half an hour later, Ms. Wan called me and said that she was already in a taxi with Mr. Tsang, heading towards Nathan Road, and would soon arrive.
When the two of them arrived at the Buddhist card shop, Mr. Zeng shocked several people in our store. His hair was extraordinarily long, but it was messy, like he had lived in the jungle for months without washing. That's not all, Mr. Zeng had something like a bird's nest on his head, and he didn't have any clothes on his body, but he used plastic bags of various colors and printed with different business patterns to wrap his body tightly from top to bottom. His feet were also wrapped in several thick layers of plastic bags. Looks like a psychopath.
When Ms. Wen got out of the taxi with him and walked to the door of the Buddhist brand shop, many pedestrians on the road threw him puzzled looks, like looking at a gorilla in a cage in a zoo. Miss Wen held Mr. Zeng's hand with a sweet expression.
Miei let the two of them sit down in the lounge area. Fang Gang and I will accompany you. Seeing that I had been staring at Mr. Zeng, intentionally or unintentionally, Miss Wen smiled and said, "How is it, is my boyfriend very different?" ”
I nodded again and again, and found that this Mr. Zeng didn't say a word from the time he came in to the time he sat down, and he didn't even look at the people in the store, including me and Fang Gang. There are indescribable strange looks on his face, some disdain, some arrogant, and some indifferent. Fang Gang asked, "I heard that Mr. Zeng is from Beijing?" ”
Mr. Zeng only shook his head and did not speak. Miss Wen said: "He is from Hebei, he is not a person who does not like to talk, this is also a kind of performance art, in order to express the power of silence over words, right, dear?" Mr. Zeng nodded slowly.
Fang Gang smiled: "Mr. Zeng doesn't speak, how can we talk about the Buddha card?" "Miss Wen said that his performance art only lasts for a few minutes with strangers, waiting for you to get to know him. When he understands what he wants to say, he can communicate normally. I hurriedly said that everyone already understood, so I would like to ask Mr. Zeng to return to normal mode.
"What do you mean, I'm not normal right now?" Mr. Zeng spat out a few words. I quickly changed my words and said that I had used the wrong word, it was normal mode. Fang Gang looked at the plastic bag on Mr. Zeng's body curiously and asked what it meant.
Mr. Tsang said: "People like to dress well and think that this is a person. In fact, in my eyes, those beautiful clothes are not as good as garbage. So I'm going to wear the plastic bags that people have used to prove that I'm the real person. ”
These words made me think about it for a long time and I didn't turn a corner, Mei Ying came over and poured tea for everyone, and listened to Mr. Zeng's words. She asked puzzledly, "But if everyone thinks like this, won't it be chaotic?" I can't always wear a plastic bag to greet customers in the store. ”
"So that's the sad thing about society, are you wearing beautiful women's professional attire right now and think you're sexy? In fact, in my eyes, you are like you are undressed. Mr. Zeng's face was expressionless. Mei Ying's face turned white with fright, and she hurriedly retreated.
Fang Gang sighed: "Mr. Zeng's statement is really above us ordinary people, admire and admire!" Then I'll wear a plastic bag to the street tomorrow. Mr. Zeng shook his head and said that even if you wear it, it is useless, and you deliberately do something different in order to show that you are different, which is fake art, not from the heart.
I just said, "Just forget about you ordinary people." Let's talk about the Buddha card. ”
Fang Gang came to the task: "Mr. Zeng, I heard Miss Wen say that in the performance art exhibition that day, you were lying naked on the sand and letting the chicks peck your chicks. What's the purpose of this? ”
Miss Wen was about to explain, but Mr. Zeng gestured to himself and said, "That work is called Chicken and Chicken, and it is my proudest work, and it was exhibited once before at the Songzhuang Art Museum in Beijing. But I was actually reported to the police station by several viewers, saying that it was immoral, and I was detained for fifteen days, how ridiculous you say the current society is! It's really a bad idea to treat art with violence like this. Later, I exhibited in the United States, and the response was very good, and many local newspapers reported that I was a representative of Chinese artists, worth as much as ten Chinese scientists. ”
"What does that mean chicken and chicken?" I couldn't help but ask.
Mr. Zeng said: "Of these two chickens, one is the most inconspicuous, but the other is the most important. I just want to tell you not to look down on what you think is the most inconspicuous. In fact, he may be the most important? ”
I said I didn't understand, and then Miss Wen took out a small photo album from her storage bag and opened it to show us. Fang just took the album, and I leaned over to look at it. I saw that there were dozens of photos inside, all of which were performance art works with Mr. Zeng as the protagonist. There is him lying on the grass, holding a shovel, holding it between his legs, with the title "AI with a shovel", and hanging himself in a public toilet, making a cut on his stomach, and constantly dripping blood, falling on the plate, letting flies bite, and shouting "I'm dirty" What shocked me was that Mr. Zeng was holding a chainsaw. The pig's head was cut from the neck with the title "Living in Harmony".
I was disgusted and disgusted to see these photos, but Fang Gang watched them with relish and asked if there were any more. Miss Wen said, "I usually bring so much, if you are interested, you can go to his studio another day." "I thought to myself, don't go, be careful to cut you like a pig.
Mr. Tsang said, "For so many years, I have been working on one of the greatest works. But because of the rare opportunity, I haven't been able to do it so far. I heard Miss Wen say that Thai Buddhist cards are very magical and can help people achieve their wishes, so I agreed to come and see them. "I asked the two of them to go to the counter to see the Buddha card first, Miss Wen took Mr. Zeng's arm and listened to Mei Ying's explanation in front of the counter.
In the end, Mr. Tsang invited a successful Buddha worth HK$6,000, which was blessed by Luang Po of Phra Singh Monastery. After Miss Wen and Mr. Zeng left, Fang Gang and I looked at the backs of the two and laughed, but Mei Ying was still looking in the mirror. I asked you what you were looking at, and Miei said, "Is there a problem with the clothes I wore today?" Isn't it very exposed? ”
She wore a white corset with a light cyan women's dress skirt, which was both sexy and well-fitting. I said it was all right, and Mei Ying asked, "But why did that Mr. Zeng say I didn't wear anything?" ”
