Hey Hair 嘿嘿 from Departures / Arrivals 出境 / 入境 by Umi Hsu

What is the cadence of the everyday life of a twelve-year-old? Can elasticity in language sound funny? How do bursts of energy bounce back and forth between bodies? Between temporal markings? I asked my twelve-year-old niece to read a translation of my journal entries from the time when I was her age. I read the passages in the original Chinese in my current voice.

十二歲的日常生活是什麼韻律？語言聲音中的彈性聽起來有趣嗎？能量可否在身體之間、在時間的標記之間來回跳躍？我請我十二歲的姪女讀出我當年同齡時的日記英譯，而我則用現在的聲音讀出書寫的中文版本。
