Towards a Non-Intentional Space
Hu Fang
The Path to Krameterhof
Would the space and time of the future ever open up to us again, if humanity no longer provided for and contributed to them?
In July 2012, I traveled to Salzburg, the home of Mozart, to visit a farmer named Sepp Holzer. In 1962, when the then nineteen-year-old Holzer took over his parents’ farm in the mountains of Lungau, he could not have imagined that the farm, known as Krameterhof, would become such a visionary land, and that he himself would be viewed as…

Why We Look at Plants, in a Corrupted World
Hu Fang
1.
If I could share the agony of someone in a vegetative state, I wouldn’t try to write about it, friends. I would stay silent for my plant person . 1
It’s just that at a certain moment in the interactions between the world and my involuntary nervous system, I enter the plant person’s world, and my nerves gradually overflow the Yŏng Quán (Gushing Spring, Kidney 1), Fēngchí (Wind Pool, Gallbladder 20) and Zhàohăi (Shining Sea, Kidney 6), spilling past the Chéngfú (Hold and…

Dear Navigator, Part II
Hu Fang
Continued from “Dear Navigator, Part I”
立秋 Lìqīu: Start of Autumn
The sight of her turning around is as beautiful as someone suffering from melancholy.
Dear Navigator,
She once helped me make the bed. During an exhausting, tense journey, what could be more generous than a glass of water, a bowl of rice, and a bed in the midst of hunger and thirst?
By the quiet light of the table lamp, the sight of her making the bed was unforgettable: taking clean…

Dear Navigator, Part I
Hu Fang
立春 Lìchūn: Start of Spring
The cat is too clean to want to be human.
Dear Navigator,
I don’t know your real name, but I’m sure “Navigator” is an appropriate substitute that both reflects the place where I hold you in my heart and conveys the respect I’ve silently maintained for you these many years. If you permit, I’d like to continue addressing you by this name. Actually, I hear we’re almost the same age, and this makes me all the more eager for us to share a…

Wittgenstein House
Hu Fang
After being in Vienna for over two months, I paid a visit to the Wittgenstein House.
At the side of the street, I saw the familiar shape of the building I had seen numerous times in photographs. Its narrow windows were particularly eye-catching, and its outlines seemed alarmingly clean as it stood in the twilight.
I approached the building and noticed a huge and noisy crowd already at the entrance. They were huddled around the front lobby, their hands clutching champagne glasses as…
