In the world of fairy tales, the “giant” is often an exaggeration of children’s imagination of the adult world, while the “Lilliputian” also embodies adults’ desire to regress to a childlike state. In reality, is there a space-time that falls between the two, a world without hierarchy or propriety?<\/p>\n
Perhaps artists hold the key to unlocking such a world. They are followers of Peter Pan on Neverland, living in a fantastical world parallel to reality and pondering how to carve out a niche in the cracks of the real world, opening up another path. I envision the other side of this path as an “in-between world.”<\/p>\n
The “world without hierarchy or propriety” is both an “intermediate” state that wanders between the adult world and the childlike world, and a circuitous action taken by individuals facing real-life dilemmas to construct their own world. Its motivation can be a fascination with childhood fantasies, a continuation of childhood dreams, or even a renewed focus on the potential of childhood states to inspire creativity in oneself and one’s surroundings through changes in life roles (becoming a parent or a teacher).
