濱海旅行 A Trip to the Sea

我曾在一座廢棄公寓裡拾獲這卷底片，影像邊緣的日期浮水印顯示著一九八八年，裡面記錄著他與她來到海邊的那天下午。這趟短暫的旅行似乎仍未結束，它們在照片中持續著。我在廢墟中晃遊，像是朝向那片海灘走去，一併開始了關於攝影、記憶與痕跡的自語。在這些待消逝的事物裡，彷彿看見了時間最短暫的形象。 這部影片是關於對當下與過去的回訪。透過反覆格放底片的細處，並拍攝廢墟內靜物的局部，試圖呈現出影像本身的物質存在。當我們在觀看這些來自物／影像的顯微痕跡時，將產生某種近似漫遊的狀態。而在物件的聲響以及無聲旁白的交錯下，則可能創造出一具空缺的身體，使觀者在感覺與意識的內外往返中變得在場。介於運動與靜止、靜默與發聲之間，我們對時間的感受亦可被重新實驗。
 
I found this roll of film in an abandoned apartment. The date stamp at the edge of this film shows 1988, it was recorded one afternoon when he and she went to the beach. The short trip seems not over yet, they continue in these photos. I wandered in the ruins that I found in the film as if heading for the beach in the image. I began to soliloquize about photography, memory, and traces. In these things disappear, as if to see the most ephemeral figure of time. The film is about returning from the present to the past. By enlarging the film repeatedly and focusing on the still life in the ruins that I found in the film, I try to present the material existence of the image itself. When we look at these microscopic traces from objects/images, a sort of wandering state occurs. The sound of objects and the interludes of silent narration may create a vacant body so that the viewer becomes present in the back and forth between feeling and consciousness. Somewhere between movement and stillness, between silence and hearable, our perception of time can also be retested.
