作品介绍:

这个作品是一部诗性的影像作品,主要通过不断的使用各种视觉媒介来追溯以及还原一个沉积在记忆深处关于童年的场景与画面,从草图和绘画到AI生成虚拟搭建。人们以为记忆是确实且详细的,但真正的记忆是混乱的,甚至是在不断的回忆中重构的。只有一些碎片的线索,它们所挟带着的纯粹感情是某种真实的存在。这些被“确认”的记忆瞬间决定了我们的某些“确认”的认同。记忆赐予了我们作为一种道德的存在,里面撒满了爱与不满的种子,它们就在幽暗的深处生长,不断的滋养着我们对自我身份与文化的认同,但它也会不断的羁绊我们对面新的文化与认知时的冲突。本影像希望在对记忆场景的认真观察和细节表述中引导观众发现人对于文化身份的理解。



Works statement:

This work is a poetic visual piece that primarily traces and recreates scenes and imagery from childhood, deeply embedded in memory, through the continuous use of various visual mediums. From sketches and paintings AI generation. People often think of memory as something definite and detailed, but true memory is chaotic and even reconstructed through constant recollection. Only some fragmented clues, along with the pure emotions they carry, represent a form of reality. These "confirmed" memories in a moment determine certain aspects of our "confirmed" identity. Memory bestows upon us the essence of being a moral entity, sown with seeds of love and discontent, growing in the shadows, continuously nourishing our understanding of self-identity and culture. However, it also constantly hinders us in the face of conflicts with new cultures and perceptions. This visual piece aims to guide the audience in discovering the human understanding of cultural identity through careful observation and detailed portrayal of memory scenes.
