八十一支签：流传至今的故事承载着集体心理投射的内容。出于对大众记忆复述和反思的兴趣，山河跳！以神话传说历史典故中的女性人物作为签文的蓝本，撰写了一套不基于任何信仰的签占系统。摇得一支竹签，看签文是否答复你心中所想。

鼓：通过牺牲自我成全他者是这个世界对女性亘古不变的要求。在这个仪式化的许愿过程中，敲击绘制着女性面部的鼓面的行为从一个疗愈行为转化为带有伤害性含义的举动。

The Eighty One Bamboo Divination Sticks: Stories that passed through generations are the containers of psychological projection in the society. Due to the deep interest in collective memories and how memes could be transmitted and examined, Mountain River Jump! has chosen some well known female characters and relating scenes from myths, legends, and tales to recreate a new divination system which is not based on any specific beliefs. Shake and get a bamboo stick, see if the explanation, the rewritten story can be an inspiration.

Ritual Drum: The world always encourages women to sacrifice themselves for others. In this ritual wishing process, when the audience strikes the woman's face on the drum, a healing activity transforms into a hurtful action.

关于工作坊  About Workshop

山河跳！将邀请现场观众实时互动占卜，每人通过特异的方式念诵自己抽取的签文，并可以分享对相关人物、典故的理解，伴之以鼓鸣，形成循环模仿仪式的体验。

Mountain River jump! will invites the audience to real-time divination as well as a workshop. By reading out the oracle text according to the bamboo divination stick that each one has got, participants can share the understandings of the characters from those stories and myths. Accompanied by the beats of the ritual drum, an imitation of ritual experience may appear.

关于艺术家  About Artist

山河跳！是由1985年出生的双胞胎艺术家黄山、黄河的组成的艺术小组，2016年底在广州诞生。她们既有合作创作，也会在同一语境下独立创作。山河跳！不避讳谈论在1949年至今依然处于半地下状态的民间话题，如轮回、星相学、卡牌占卜、幽灵传说、神话构成等等，探讨兴趣穿梭古今中外，从民间信仰出发探讨主流与官方话语，并对当今现实进行语言和图像的“精神分析”。创作形式包括讲座、互动工作坊、占卜行为、声音、静态或动态的视觉作品。

Mountain River Jump! is an artist-duo founded in 2016 by identical twin sisters HuangShan and Huang He, both of whom were born in 1985. They work as a group while continue their own practices under certain context. Mountain River Jump! like to discuss topics like samsara, astrology, card divination, ghost stories, mythology, etc., which are all denied officially in our secular context. Their interest covers the ancient and the modern. They apply lingual and visual “cultural psychoanalysis” to the reality nowadays and try to access the mainstream ideas and official utterance through the research of folklore. Their practices include a range of media from static visual works to moving images, lectures, workshops, divination behaviors, and sound.
