回想起來，當初不知道從何而來的膽量及傻勁，一步一步走過來，雖然至今沒有什麼可觀的成就，但我一直相信，堅持就是勝利。而我得著的，並不是一般世俗標準所能量度的。
以下便是今屆VB金獅獎的得主，他們今天的勝利，也是由許多的堅持而得來的，我深信。
Golden Lion for Best National Participation to Germany
Christoph Schlingensief
可惜的是，Schlingensief於2010年8月因肺癌去世，年僅49歲，是具影響力的德國戲劇及電影導演。聞說在他去世時尚未知道自己已被選中代表國家出征VB，可說是人生一大遺憾。
安慰的是策展人Susanne Gaensheimer保留了Schlingensief許多footage和原始構思，讓觀眾在一個man-made的另類神殿内感受藝術家如何在自己的人生舞台上掙扎求全，深具震撼力。

Golden Lion for the best artist at the ILLUMInations Exhibition to Christian Marclay (United States)
The Clock, 2010
跟我們與「時」並進的藝術品，用電影填滿我們每分每秒的生活，粉碎一般電影所製造的時間幻象，也挑戰觀眾對電影劇情的合理預測及期待。無論是作者的氣魄及心思均令人拍案！
壓倒性的勝利，真的無話可説了。
無獨有偶，今年兩個藝術大獎得主都跟電影有關，看來moving images & video art在當代藝術真是獨佔鰲頭了。
Silver Lion for a promising young artist at the ILLUMInations Exhibition to Haroon Mirza (Great Britain)
哈哈，剛巧碰到藝術家在「調教」他的作品^.^
我個人比較喜歡光環那一件，在Arsenale展出；三角的那件則在Giardini展出。兩組作品都是結合光、聲音和動態而成。

以下是我的'Special Mentions'，跟大會立場無關^O*~
French Pavilion
Christian Boltanski
'The Wheel of Fortune'
我自選的合成照也可以吧~ Beauty or ugliness by chance!
Urs Fischer
'Untitled'
有趣地將雕塑的materiality與蠟像的superficiality並列，矛盾卻又真實。就如VB，不朽得來又似過客。
每一個觀眾在每一刻看它的面貌都不一樣。Every viewer's experience is unique.
Luxembourg Pavilion
Martine Feipel & Jean Bechameil
Le Cercle Fermé
'Today, there is no doubt that it is more urgent than ever to consider any reflection on the question of space as a work of civilisation, as a remodelling of civilisation. Modifying the everyday completely remodels our world, and that is what this is all about.' - artwork statement
這件作品在視覺上是很漂亮的，扭曲或重塑的空間十分有趣，要親身感受才行。
James Turell (United States)
'Ganzfeld APANI'
(註：排長龍作品之一，毎人只可逗留幾分鐘左右)
跟光與空間來一次短暫但美麗的邂逅，也讓我想起了Olafur Eliasson去年在Ullens的作品。
Hungarian Pavilion
Hajnal Németh
'Passive Interview'
'The skeleton of the work is an experimental opera that takes place on the stage of life, relating, and reflecting on the stories of car crashes in a dialogical form: the critical moment slowed down by memory and recounted in utmost detail; the drive and the course of events leading up to that moment; as well as the complex relation of man to driving, in view of his inclination to fetishize his technical objects......In this slow replay, I perceive the very relief of the shock, the “comforting” explanation for the unavoidable crash. The fact that the outcome of this story is predetermined—as indicated by the yes-no questions of the sung inner monologues—is far from comforting, though. The opera genre is intended to convey this tension. The story begins at a car factory, and thus the story of the car, that is, its “life”, which is ended by the crash, ironically takes the place of human life at some points.' - artwork statement
Amalia Pica (Argentina)
'Venn diagrams'
'A Venn diagram is a mathematical illustration used to describe group dynamics and logical relations of inclusion and exclusion. During the period of dictatorship in Argentina in the 1970s, gatherings of citizens were closely monitored, as they were considered a threat to the government.....At the same time, Group theory and Venn diagrams were banned from primary school programs as they provide a model for subversive thought.' - artwork statement
