放棄小姐:零
Miss Letting Go:The Zero
故事裡描繪一個平凡上班族小姐一天的日常,從一早起床到下班回家的這段期間所遇到各種數字上的煩惱:
從時間焦慮、體重數字、皺紋數量、業績、股價、社群軟體按讚數、遊戲點數、年齡...等等。
最後她走進便利商店藉由“捐款”放棄錢的行為,在自己唯一有限度可控制的事項裡將財富歸零,而獲得短暫任性的自由。
活在被數字綁架的世界裡,是拼了老命追求理想數字才會得到自由,還是放下一切後重新歸零,或許會遇到更多可能。
放棄的行爲在這裡比起厭世或是捐款作善事,更多的成分是體驗“斷捨離”後的自由。
Miss Letting Go
The story depicts the day of an ordinary office worker. From the moment of waking up in the morning to after she gets off work, she encounters all kinds of numerical worries-- anxieties about time, weight, facial wrinkles, job performance, stock price, Likes on social media, game points, age and more. In the end, she walks into a convenience store to give up and donate her wealth. By resetting her wealth to zero in a matter in which she has some control, she gains temporary freedom to be impulsive.
Living in a world held bondage by numbers, is it possible to gain freedom only by fighting tooth and nail to pursue the ideal number or by letting go and resetting everything to zero, or perhaps by encountering other possibilities. Here, the act of letting go in Danshari (decluttering) brings about greater feelings of freedom than being cynical of the world or making charitable donations.
