遠方，能夠有多遠？在移動越來越便利的現在，為了夢想和堅持離家獨居，分散在世界角落中的我們與心愛的人的距離越拉越遠。近幾年來，大大小小的天災人禍不可避免的出現在各個城市中，未來，是如此深不可測，在我們都還能夠聽到彼此的聲音、碰觸到彼此的溫度時，是否想過為遠方的愛人留下可供紀念的物品？

王艾莉的遺念物試圖將三種「狀態」蒐集、儲存起來，等待著某天交付給愛人留作紀念。呼吸、心跳、聲音均透過特別設計過的儀器儲存遺念物，再將其交給最愛的人。這些狀態來自於生活的貼近與情感波動，讓我們更加貼近我們最親密的愛人，透過遺念物確實感受存在於生命的跳動，紀念則以最親密的方式的將生命的狀態無限拉長延展。

How far is far? In a world where moving has become more and more convenient, people set out to pursue their dreams and insist on leaving home to do so and as a result the distance between ourselves and those we love scattered around the world becomes ever greater. In recent years, many unavoidable natural and man made disasters have played out in cities around the world. The future is so unfathomable that perhaps we should take advantage of a time when we can still hear their voices and feel their warmth to leave some memento our souvenir for those we care about.

Wang Ai-li’s “The Souvenir” attempts to take objects that speak to our “condition” during our lifetime, to be [presented to those we love at some point in the future as a souvenir. Our breathing, heartbeat and the sound of our voice are all stored here using a specially designed device, as remembrances of the person we were, to be presented to the love of our life. These “conditions” come from an intimate connection to life and emotions, bringing us even closer to those in our hearts. Through these souvenirs we feel the challenge of existence as life and remembering those gone in this intimate way extends their living state without limit
