Collection: Cactus Press

「仙人掌」是由三位生活在荷蘭與中文世界之間的女性組成的出版小組。 以「仙人掌」為名,我們實踐一種迂迴、輕盈而沉潛的出版方式。我們關注在乾旱與沉默之地生長的抵抗之姿。對我們而言,出版是一種跨越不同土壤重新發聲的嘗試,在此前提下,「出版」的過程成為一種相互滲透的超文本實踐。每一本書都是一個節點,與聲音、影像、展覽和身體性行動相互勾連。出版不止關乎文本的呈現,更關乎關係的生成,它在不同語境中被重新閱讀、再生產,從而保持一種開放的生命力。

Cactus Press is a publishing collective formed by three women living between the Netherlands and the Mandarin-speaking world. Cactus Press develops a hybrid practice that connects print media, sound, moving image, exhibition-making, and participatory performance. We are drawn to gestures of resistance that grow out of dryness and silence. For us, publishing is an attempt to speak again across different soils a process of interpenetration and exchange that turns each book into a living hypertext. Each publication becomes a node that links to other forms and contexts, generating new relations that keep the practice open, porous, and alive.
