《向薩拉熱窩致敬》（Je Vous Salue, Sarajevo，1993） 每次看到社會上的暴力不公義事件，就會想起高達（Jean-Luc Godard）這部僅長 2 分鐘的影像詩。在我心目中這甚至是高達最使人愀心的作品之一。我們每天看到瘋警、暴民襲人的照片與片段，重組分析起來，簡直就與這段短片沒有兩樣，但我們這不要忘記高達怎樣說︰“In a sense, fear is the daughter of God, redeemed on Good Friday. She is not beautiful, mocked, cursed or disowned by all. But don’t be mistaken, she watches over all mortal agony, she intercedes for mankind; for there is a rule and an exception. Culture is the rule, and art is the exception. Everybody speaks the rule; cigarette, computer, t-shirt, television, tourism, war. Nobody speaks the exception. It isn’t spoken, it is written; Flaubert, Dostoyevsky. It is composed; Gershwin, Mozart. It is painted; Cézanne, Vermeer. It is filmed; Antonioni, Vigo. Or it is lived, then it is the art of living; Srebrenica, Mostar, Sarajevo. The rule is to want the death of the exception. So the rule for cultural Europe is to organise the death of the art of living, which still flourishes.... When it’s time to close the book, I have no regrets. I’ve seen so many people live so badly, and so many die so well.”
