A Retelling from A Female Vessel
一個女性器皿的復述

“When I saw the birds in the cage, the squirrels in the room, the turtles in the pool, or even the pomegranates in the bamboo basket, the cotton in the pillow, and the sawdust in the paper pulp, I saw myself. Later I learned that the birds and fish I saw were just like the canned foods at home. They were just bodies, or rather vessels.”

“When I saw the birds in the cage, the squirrels in the room, the turtles in the pool, or even the pomegranates in the bamboo basket, the cotton in the pillow, and the sawdust in the paper pulp, I saw myself. Later I learned that the birds and fish I saw were just like the canned foods at home. They were just bodies, or rather vessels.”

A Retelling from A Female Vessel is a personal psychological journey of a woman on life support in her last twenty-four hours, describing death, body, and relationship from a female perspective. The work is dominated by impressionist style, accompanied by literature, performance, dance, objects of metaphor, and dramatic reconstruction to form the film’s logic, presenting a relationship between facts and subjective state of mind.

《一個女性器皿的復述》是一名由器械支撐生命的女性在最後二十四小時之間的心理活動。全片以第三視角的方式復述第一視角的所言所想,在視覺上呈現出烏托邦式的歸屬畫面以此與語言的現實性相碰撞。作品以印象派畫風為骨幹,佐以文學、行為、舞蹈、物件、語言等,與戲劇性來重建演出構建全片邏輯。

作品主要以旁白以及電影語言的詩化構圖組成,運用第三視角的客觀性和旁觀性,隱喻生死的客觀存在以及以個體為性質對前者進行的主觀思考。藝術家通過自述性影像的方式,以固定的形式以及表述方式來凸顯其中的微妙變化,隱喻人作為一個有期限的生命載體是如何通過一步步的自我調節來接納生命,與恐懼握手言和。
