Act 13: IF IT’S AINT BROKEN, IT’S AINT WORTH MENDING

 

The book itself has its genesis from the typeset yet it is deemed as a transcript from its primary mode, speech. Text itself lacks the authenticity compared to a speech that comprised interactions of the truth through conversation itself, dialogue. Dismantling such dogmatic narration, example, speech over writings, reasons over passions, men over women, words over pictures, sight over touch, it enables us to distill the third force among the rumbles of the untruth.

 

The tormented persona and its displaced ego are the best manifestation of the stage of End-Noia, depicted as a broken entities and in its absolute deconstructed stage. These fragments of ego, if it is deemed not broken it is not worth mending are but the positions of the Japanese aggressor to tear apart, break, destroy, demolish whatever left of the main motherly figure’s ego. In contradiction to such deconstructed ego, no matter how they are mended will leave scars that are the epitome, remembrance, constituents of the persona of Noia that is manifested by faith and memory that only heals by time.

 

I use the typewriter as major material for installation to show where it start from where it end. The whole story is interactions of the truth through conversation by Sybil. Like a broken pieces, we can sticks it all together again to create a whole new piece but no matter how hard we trying to fix it, the scars still be there to remind us what it had been happened before. At the end, she was rescued from prison, but she will still remember everything that happened to her until she died at the hospital. Let’s say, if she didn’t face this before what will happen to her is it she will just like a normal person ? her lifetime will be write into novel ? she will be a hero ? it so interesting to think about it.
