In Atayal, Pswagi Temahahoi is composed of three parts: P signals the future, S marks the instrumental form, and wagi means “sun”, with pswagi casting light as an instrument and foreshadowing an imminent unfolding through light and shadow.
Discovering Hzing: Pswagi Temahahoi (2022) is an experimental documentary video work that follows the path taken by Atayal Elder Yumin, who uses pswagi, to trace the locations of wild bees. Alongside, a performance piece with Ciwas’ self-invented ceramic sound sculpture as a way to relocate the space of Temahahoi through collective queer breath.
林安琪延續至今的計畫,探索泰雅族口述傳統中極少被提起的「迭瑪哈霍伊」(Temahahoi,中文常註為「女人社」):一個僅由女人與性別多元者共同生活的社群。她們能與蜜蜂溝通,蜜蜂保護她們免受外人侵擾;她們以蒸汽與煙霧維生,透過在岩石上沐日光浴、讓風進入身體而受孕。對林安琪而言,這段古老故事是屬於酷兒族群的空間,是深林中避開異性戀本體空間的避居地——而它的生存依賴自然生態的維持,這既是警示,也是預言。蜜蜂在此不是隱喻,而是政體:一個保衛社群免受外人侵擾的非人盟友;風不是詩意,而是生殖自主。
Pswagi Temahahoi——泰雅族語中,P 表示未來,S 是工具格字根,Wagi 是太陽。合起來,「Pswagi」隱含透過光作為工具,因為帶有未來式,它指向準備利用「光影」作為工具、即將發生的事情。
《Discovering Hzing: Pswagi Temahahoi》(2022)是一件實驗性紀錄片,藝術家跟隨泰雅族耆老 Yumin 的 pswagi 知識技術去尋找野生蜂蜜的位置;這個搜尋的過程在作品裡被轉換成去尋找已經被遺忘的 Temahahoi 的路徑。對照這段跨世代知識傳遞的紀錄,林安琪以自製的陶製聲音雕塑進行表演,透過集體酷兒呼吸,重新定位迭瑪哈霍伊的空間。自製陶製樂器作為招喚 Temahahoi 的聲譜,試圖重新尋找一個沒有具體座標的位置。
