Video Art
Full HD video projection, color, stereo sound.
2 minutes 30 seconds loop
This video artwork is purposely shot from the angle to evoke the feeling of someone flipping through a family album. However, this video is not static and describes the hierarchy (between generations, rank, gender, and so forth) as well as the environment (furnishings) of a middle class Taiwanese family. The position of each person in the family photo is thus highly posed yet very accurate in its reenactment of reality.
凝視著家族的照片,隨著時間的改變,子女紛紛外出工作,剩下的是空間景象的回憶,和父母守衛家園,等著子女回來的心,回到小時候居住的的家,猶如眷村純樸的生活形態,以務農為生的家庭,一切以儉樸起家,在一切資源都還缺乏的鄉村,簡單的一臺電視,一臺冰箱,就是子女給家庭最好的回饋,影片描述了一個三代建立一個家庭的過程,從混亂且貧窮的環境,在外的子女慢慢開始有了經濟,開始改善家庭原有的生活條件,每一個過場,還原一件傢具,最後是一個家族,所有的傢具安排整齊,我試著重新再建立家族照的景象,家庭每一份子所有的付出,都是為了讓家庭變得更美好。
