溫柔擁抱所有哀傷淚滴
"The Saddest Place on Earth 傷心異境" 是個有關蒐集地球淚滴故事的展覧。來自新加坡的手創人Mimipong很榮幸能於2009年10月把這個“傷心異境”拓至澳門的精緻人文空間﹣﹣邊度有書展出，舉辦為期一個月的澳門展。
"傷心異境，地球淚滴故事集" 的構想，由水藍色的絨毛布偶開始。Mimipong創作的 "Hug Your Sorrow 淚滴娃娃" 化作落在地球上的點點淚滴，讓在世界各地生活、游走的人，面對哀傷、書寫哀傷、溫柔擁抱哀傷。心底淌過的淚獲釋，遺留在密藏某處的傷心異境，讓每個勇敢的人不再受困於哀傷之中。 澳門展的淚滴娃娃首次以中文詮釋哀傷，親切貼近創作人，並特別限量推出新款設計。與此同時，Mimipong與邊度有書全新邀請25位分別來自澳門、葡國、日本、台灣等地人士參展。他們雖是素人或來自不同範疇，從事藝術創作、時裝設計、教師、酒吧、西餅店等不同工作，但是通過書寫與擁抱，讓這些生於廝長於廝或漂泊他鄉的澳門人，還有當地異鄉人的哀傷故事都有了終結的出口。
展覧以手寫記錄，在標籤上書寫哀傷並以 "流淚了" 為完結。展出作品中有的寓意深遠，有的抒發文人情懷，例如凝望大三巴而感嘆落淚的建築師梁頌燊、懷抱受傷落難國家的店長Pedro、滿是詩意而深藏不露的翁譙，與來自香港的音樂才女Pancakes、創造Treeson的知名玩具設計師Bubi Au Yeung，以及新加坡媒體創意人楊君偉、趙琬儀及Sokkuan等作品交流分享，觀看生活在澳門、香港及新加坡小角落的他們，如何把各自所關切的事物表現在作品裡。這些對照，是有趣的。無聲的淚滴娃娃也因為這些獨特詮釋有了情緒與表情，讓記憶中的哀傷淚滴也能閃閃發光。
"The Saddest Place on Earth 傷心異境" 於去年首度展出後，創意構想深獲各界喜愛，展覧消息與報導亦刊載於新加坡國內外媒體。“Hug Your Sorrow 淚滴娃娃”有幸能獲精品設計網站SHIFT(www.shift.jp.org)青睞推介、美國知名玩具設計網站Kidrobot (www.kidrobot.com)選購零售(已售磬)，並入選Fred Flare年度設計評選“Next Big Thing 2008”。淚滴娃娃相關產品，目前通過澳洲Via Alley與新加坡Strangelets獨家銷售。

About Pinto Livros
Situated above the hustle and bustle of the St. Domingos district is Pinto Livros. A quaint space that is surprisingly quiet with a fresh breeze blowing through open windows. The walls and walls of books, rows of green potted plants and two resident cats makes a cosy setting for avid readers who would sit for hours soaking up literature and the atmosphere.
關於邊度有書 (Pinto Livros Books)
以廣東話與葡萄牙文的趣味命名的邊度有書，是“哪裡有書”的意思。邊度有書在鬧市中營造一個精緻空間，是藝文界人士聚集之處。除了販售各類型書籍，并發行出版澳門當地作品。以“小而美”哲學經營書店，邊度有書希望訪客能靜靜地看書、聽音樂、享受咖啡香之餘，在有書相伴的日子，讓時間可以過得再慢一點。http://blog.roodo.com/pintolivros
