As a flaneur and creator, I frequently collect unused items from the streets in London, which always show another side of society in a negative shape. Among all the clothes seen on the street, baby clothes tend to be thrown away in the most concentrated and large quantities by people in one go. This phenomenon could be due to the fact that baby clothes represent a stage of life for newborns that is no longer reciprocated at all.
Perhaps the newborn is not limited to a growing child in the physical sense, but rather, the individual renewal that occurs when each person is confronted with a new environment is regarded as a new birth.
If the baby clothes that have been discarded once and for all are grafted onto us and into our living environment, can we also reaffirm the courage and strength of our new life？
嫁接婴儿衣工作坊
幸运锅
作为闲逛者和创作者，经常会在伦敦的街头收集到闲置的物品，这些闲置物品总是以负形的方式展示社会的另一面。在收集衣物的过程中，婴儿衣往往以最集中大量的方式被人们一次性的清理。这个现象可能归结为婴儿衣代表了新生儿的一个完全不再往复的生命阶段。
唐纳哈拉维在一次写作工作坊中引导参与者写作了一个集体故事，故事里的人们为了抵御外界灾难的侵害，决定让新生儿与其他生命体结合：让幼儿拥有蜻蜓翅膀的皮肤，或者有猛兽的爪牙，由此让人类拥有更强大的生命系统抵御侵害。有趣的是这个生物嫁接的革新并不是针对未出生的婴孩，而是主要涵盖了成长中的孩童。这些孩子在进行生物变异后会被称为新生儿。
或许新生儿也不局限于生理意义上成长中的孩童，每一个人在面对新的环境时产生的个体上的革新，都视作一次新生。
如果把被一次性抛弃的婴儿衣再次嫁接融入到我们身上、我们的生活环境中，是否我们也可以重新肯定自己新生的勇气和力量。
