《無名行旅者》為鬼丘鬼鏟導演李奧森的最新文字創作發表，在紀實和虛構曖昧的敘事空間裡，其高密度流暢的文字幽然表述個人生命之所經歷與關注，書中雕塑出的字句切口鋒利，在不同的邊緣與黑夜裡熠熠發出類光的線索，透露了鬼丘鬼鏟長期在現場藝術創作上的部分內在精神和暗影，以及美學探索背後的工作方法淬煉過程。
隨此新書發表，並舉辦鬼丘鬼鏟視覺檔案索引現場閱讀會，將以過去多組現場作品視覺檔案作為閱讀本書的交互性索引，邀請限時參與這場難得的文字暨視覺索引閱讀會，每次限定單人觀賞──
一場身體性的閱讀行為或許將把現場推轉成一本形體搖擺的書。
閱讀會活動期間將有限量簽名版次提供收藏。

Salon Spice Season II Episode 8: Book Launch & Reading—No Name Traveler and Its Visual Archive
Time: 2018.01.05-06 (Fri & Sat), 1-7pm
Venue: Taipei Contemporary Art Center, No. 11, Lane 49, Baoan Street, Taipei (MRT station: Daqiaotao)
Artist: Val Lee
No Name Traveler comprises the latest writing of Val Lee, director of Ghost Mountain Ghost Shovel Art Collective. The intensive narratives of Lee run in a seamless flow, passing between the realm of the documentary and of the fictional to reveal artist’s life experiences and concerns. Every sentence is crafted as a shinning blade slicing through various margins and dark nights. The writing sheds light on parts of the internal psyche and shadows of GMGS’s live art projects as well as the methodology behind their aesthetic exploration.
To accompany the book launch, a special reading room is hosted to display GMGS’s live art visual archive, showing their previous work documents as an alternative index system for the new publication. The site will be transformed into a reading room, an extended book, rocking along with the active reading behaviors of audience. The reading room is open for a single audience per entry.
There are signed copies available during this book launch and reading event.
About the Artist
Val Lee is the director and co-founding artist of Ghost Mountain Ghost Shovel Art Collective which was launched in 2008 as a live art group, exploring the ambiguous intercommunication with audience, dramatized fragment of time, and interdisciplinary art expressions. Led by Val Lee and Hikky Chen, whose academic background relate to video art, ballet and costume design, GMGS practices live art anonymously with a revolving set of members that come from the field of independent media, comic, improvisational noise, and art. The aim of the group is to create visionary atmosphere in which everyone could reconstruct the fictional reality. The artists, the audience, and the performers become a unity, and transform the chaotic art experiences into realistic super bombs. Their latest performances include Charting the Contours of Time (2017), The Black Waves (2016), White Terror, White Horror, White Thriller (2013), and Underwater (2012).
