about

这是一段无意识的录音，去超市购物的途中，口袋里的手机误打误撞自动开启了录音。一段普通到不能再普通的日常记录，甚至很难感受到是疫情当下的超市背景，跟平常没什么两样。我很难接受普通，选择它纯属因为自然。原本我的构思是准备采一段田野录音，气候，人，植物，微生物，构成的一派生机，不能嘈杂，但又要震撼，至少要震撼到我自己才行。这样的要求有点过高，不管对设备还是时机来说。一场疫情的到来改变了很多的计划和想法，也模糊了很多野心和激情。现在我最关心的是每天吃什么。只要能吃，只要还思饮食，感觉就不会太差。还能去超市抢菜囤物的人，都是对生活尚抱希望的人。

鲁白，女，新疆人，现居南京。曾是八眼间谍乐队的主唱，现深入中医学习针灸并以此践行。

It's an unconscious recording, made on the way to the supermarket when the phone in my pocket mistakenly turned on the recording automatically. To me it's an ordinary, everyday recording, and it's hard to even feel that it's the background of a supermarket in the midst of an epidemic. It's hard for me to accept the ordinary as is, but I chose it purely because of its naturalism. My original idea was to make a field recording of the climate, people, plants, microorganisms, and the whole scene of life. It has to be powerful, or at least powerful to myself, which is a bit too much to ask, both for equipment and timing. An epidemic has altered many plans and ideas, and blurred a lot of ambitions and passions. Now my main concern is what I eat everyday. As long as I can eat, and as long as I'm still thinking about food, I don't feel too bad. People who can still go to the supermarket and grab groceries and stock up are people who still have hopes in life.

Lu Bai, from Xinjiang, currently lives in Nanjing. She used to be the lead singer of the band Eight-Eye Spy, and now studies acupuncture and practices it.
