Work Statement:

这是一部超现实纪录片，包含影像、诗歌和声音。它由长焦镜头视频组成，主要关注于景观、家庭录像和日记。文本试图引导一种对于自我的理解，我经历了一种超现实的心理体验，这种切换形成了关于自我丧失和寻找的律动诗歌。在创作过程中，这个项目（影像日记：旧鞋和蟾蜍）让我对个体、自然和社会之间的关系产生了浓厚的兴趣。就这个项目而言，视觉表达和声音灵感源于我的写作，它将大地描绘为自我的投射和隐喻。声音的加入扩展了其创作的原始效果，通过三屏视频进一步加强了这种感受。三屏与画外音，观众沉浸在视觉、话语、声音的重复循环中，仿佛他们在工业化世界和自然的边界中行走，沉思微小个体与伟大世界之间的关系。

This is a surreal documentary film, including video, poem, sound;

It consists of long lens videos focusing on the landscape, family videos and notes. As I walk along the endless roads of the wilderness, the movement of the long lens and my psychological narrative of the off-screen voice project me onto the earth. The text also tries to lead an understanding of the self, I am experiencing a sense of surreal psychological experience, this kind of switch forms a rhythmic poem about the loss and search of the self.

In the course of creating, the project (“ video note : Old Shoes and Toads”) intrigued me a lot about the relationship between Identity, nature and society. In terms of this project, visual-expression and sonic inspiration originates from my writing, all this notes I wrote in 2021， when I was quarantined in a small Chinese city because of COVID, which portrays the earth as a projection and metaphor of self. The involvement of the sound extends the original effect of its creation, which is reinforced more through the triple-screen video. Sight from the triple-screen, sound from the off-screen voice, the audiences are immersed in these repeated cycles of vision, discourse, sound, as if they were walking in the border between the industrialized world and nature, contemplating the relationship between the tiny individual and the great world.
