The Places where Light has been

I had to stay home in China because of the Covid 19 virus. I have lived in this home for almost twenty years. The general appearance of this space has never changed, while the family in the film has changed over time. Everywhere I look, there are fragments of my memories overlaid. The flashlight light used in the film is like my gaze scanning my memory.It is by seeing them that we prove their existence.

The TV is outside the memory itself. As I follow the movement of the aperture in the film with the flashlight again, you see two confused lights being mixed and constructed. The TV no longer simply shows the memory clips that can be played back. At the same time, the process of re-experiencing memory in the brain is being shown - a mixture of internal and external.






光去過的地方

因為疫情不得不留在中國深圳的家,在這個家中我生活了將近二十年,空間中的大致樣貌似乎從未發生過改變,而影片中的家人卻在時間中悄然變化。目光所致之處疊合著我的多段記憶片段,影像中的手電筒光如同我在掃視記憶的過程一般,也正因為看見而證明了它們的存在。

電視機外在於記憶本身,隨著我再一次用手電筒去跟隨影片中光圈的移動,你會看到兩道混淆的光被混合建構出來,電視機不再單純展示可被回放的記憶片段,同時間在展示大腦重新經驗記憶的過程——混合著內部及外部。





The film contains a number of clips shot and
finally edited into a composite spatial video.
