Dream of the world

夢想是還未實現的現實,而現實就是已經實現的夢想，在某種程度上，

就我們現在的狀況搞不好已經是別人夢想的發生，只是還不是我們的,但我們仍在讓它發生-邊緣人

邊緣人-展演空間魔法師

Marginalists – performance space magicians

市級x派對x露天音樂會x電影市集x火車市集

空間x活動x設計＝邊緣人 

邊緣人的概念很特別很有趣也有著很深的意涵，

自從在廢棄菜市場的案子，邊緣人發現她們可以把所學的在廢棄菜市場的計畫中，

在牆面上、空間中做改造並結合DJ音樂表演,讓廢置很久的停車場空間整理成跳蚤市場那樣，

提供里民和市集攤友一同參與的市集，一個有人情味的地方.這樣的整理之後，社區的人和小孩反而更喜歡這個地方

Marginalist concepts have a very special, interesting and deep meaning. 

Ever since they started going to an empty space that used to be a marketplace,

they developed it into a place for gathering, painting the walls,

setting up DJs for events, having locals involved to sell flea market items,

making it into a gathering place for everyone to come and have a taste of the community. 

Many people and children in the area enjoy coming here.

除了市集這個買賣交易活動之外，她們所營造的氛圍是在空間中呈現質感，

把一個空間整理好之後讓活動進來，讓它產生碰撞，

不會只有空間本身也不會只有人本身,而是空間和人的碰撞，

所以他們把自己定位為成一個展演平台,他們會希望能夠將既有的設備跟軟性的活動結合，

有點像台灣傳統市集有大雜燴的概念一樣，而不是變成那種都是很SOP化的作業流程,

一定要逛哪一區逛哪一區這樣.台灣的大雜燴概念並沒有不好，

他們思考的是要怎麼用新方式呈現這樣的特色

Other than being a gathering for a flea market and activities,

tidying up the area and placing people there gives visitors a feeling that

makes them realize there is a special aura about it, a special relationship is

created between the people and the area and its activities. 

I hope this place creates a feeling like traditionalist Taiwanese markets which rely more on

relationships and people making connections and having morning chats rather than like a department store shopping feeling.

夢想是還未實現的現實,而現實就是已經實現的夢想，在某種程度上，

就我們現在的狀況搞不好已經是別人夢想的發生，只是還不是我們的－邊緣人

邊緣人市集現在發展到４年，一開始別人也不知道他們是誰，

只是幾個剛畢業的學生，從零用錢的概念發展到現在變成是有一種自己的獲利模式，

讓他們有一種很像畢業了,出了社會的蛻變．

The dream has not completely come true yet,

but it’s because we have dreams that we can begin developing them and making them happen. 

Although we are marginalists, we are gaining recognition and people are coming to us to help develop their goals. 

We have been doing this for four years and through the money we make from doing this we are able to

use it on making our dreams grow. 

This has given us a feeling of achievement and being able to graduate into society and be independent.

這個世代需要一點叛逆

This world needs a bit of rebellion

爸媽他們是很務實的,他們是在一個需要需要斤斤計算的背景身長過來的．

現在我們生活上沒有那麼多的壓力，選擇也很多,但這種很多加上網路的興起,

就會變成很多東西就擺在那邊了，所以才會覺得年輕人都好像軟軟的，像草莓族的樣子．

不像以前父母他們看到一個機會就很努力抓的牢牢的,但也不是說現在的我們就廢掉了,

而是說我們是在找一個獨特的方式,或是自己認同的方式,

因為這個世代需要我們一一去思考說能不能接受的東西太多了,沒有辦法就盲目的接受,所以就盡力去做

Our parents care about us, but we need to develop some rebellion in order to develop our own selves.

We do not have as much pressure in our lives, we have a lot of options,

and then on top of that with the internet allowing us to develop our interests,

we can end up putting a lot of things aside, so a lot of young people are like strawberry people –

people who are unable to face difficulties.  Not like our parents,

who when faced with obstacles worked harder and held firm, but it’s not like we are now useless,

but we are just looking for a way to become independent, finding our own place in this world,

we think about these things and ask ourselves what we can accept,

we can’t just accept what other people tell us so we have to put effort into finding a way to try what will work for us.

如果自己覺得在做想做的事或是對的事情就一定要堅持下去,

在跟長輩在溝通的時候就要去想,如果那個事情是對的,

那它一定是可以溝通被說服的,不只是我想要做,

不能單單因為只是這一句,＂我想要做＂，要言之有物,

順便讓妳釐清自己是不是真的想做這件事,如果父母就是為反對而反對的話,那就去做吧

If we think about doing what we want to do, we have to keep at it,

when trying to communicate this to our elders,  if it is “right” then they can agree with it,

not just because we want to do it, but it may not necessarily be what we want to do,

if we ask ourselves what we really want to do, and if the parents are against it,

but we think we can do it, then go do it anyway.

和邊緣人聊完之後想和你們分享的話【學習換位看事情】

After having this chat with the marginalists, what they want to share with others

【learn to change your sight of looking things】 

雖然說邊緣人取名是個偶然，但這個邊緣它有一定的圖像上或是有些觀點，

邊緣人會有中心，就像我們常常會以自我為中心來看事情，

那覺得站在邊緣往中心看的時候，那個角度，從中心到邊緣，從邊緣到中心，

當我們換個角度看，真的會有不一樣的想法，這也是最有趣的過程，

因為這個概念改變他們看待人事物的樣子，讓他們跳脫自己的角度為自己創造價值．

對他們而言，邊緣的定義是個無線迴圈，永遠懷疑邊緣在哪，所以才能繼續往前走

Although the name marginalists was only incidental,

when we stand and look at things from their centre,

we are able to experience their way of looking at things,

and if we do this, we can develop different ideas and thoughts,

and see the value in their thinking.  When they construct things for customers,

they likewise put themselves in the shoes of their customers, and as a result,

are able to provide value to the community.

The place of marginalists is like a cycle, they are always there,

but it is because of this walking cycle that they will always be able to continue to neverendingly go forward.
