从博物馆、
历史遗址、
特展到田野调查，
我透过展览、
文物、
建筑与馆藏，
探索博物馆如何保存历史、
传承知识，
并呈现不同时代的文明发展。
这里讨论的不只是博物馆，
也是历史、
文化、
记忆，
以及文明如何被收藏、
研究与传递的故事。
Through museums,
historical sites,
special exhibitions
and field research,
I explore how museum preserves history,
passes on knowledge,
and presents the development of civilizations through exhibitions,
collections,
architecture and cultural heritage.
This is not only a story about museums,
but also about history,
culture,
memory,
and the ways civilizations are preserved,
studied
and passed on to future generations.
仓库博物馆（Speicherstadtmuseum） 室内照，作者摄于2026年8月31日汉堡田野。
从一袋漂洋过海抵达汉堡的咖啡豆出发，走进仓库城博物馆，追踪货物从远洋船、驳船到仓库的旅程。从仓储管理人的称重、取样与分类，到自由港、水道、海关边界与城市拆迁，看不断扩大的全球贸易如何重新组织汉堡的空间，也认识博物馆创始人 Henning Rademacher 如何保存这段历史。最后，让汉堡与两千多年前依江河、舟楫与商贸发展的楚文明，展开一场跨越时空的对话。
Follow a sack of coffee as it travels across the ocean into Hamburg’s Speicherstadtmuseum, from ships and harbour barges to warehouses, weighing, sampling and storage. The journey reveals how expanding global trade created new waterways, customs boundaries and the free port, while reshaping inhabited parts of Hamburg itself. It also leads to museum founder Henning Rademacher and the preservation of this history, before bringing Hamburg into a cross-civilizational dialogue with the river, trade and transport world of ancient Chu.

第一次登上汉堡历史帆船 PEKING，我从桅杆、索具、舱壁、压载与舵轮开始，慢慢看见一艘船内部的关系，也从智利硝石、船员生活与现代风力航运，看见一艘船如何连接人与世界。
My first time aboard PEKING in Hamburg changed how I saw a ship—from rigging, ballast and navigation to Chilean saltpeter, life at sea and the return of wind to modern shipping.
从摩泽尔河 MOSELPRINZ 驾驶室里船长的一句话出发，思考人与机器如何在长期工作、身体经验与记忆中彼此靠近。从船到汽车，再回到历史船写作，人与机器之间从来不只有“使用”这一种关系。
Beginning with a captain’s words aboard MOSELPRINZ on the Moselle, this article explores how humans and machines grow closer through work, bodily experience and memory. From ships to automobiles and historic vessels, the relationship between people and machines is more than simple use.
