Dodge Bridge 2023
After three long years since my grandfather's departure,
I summoned the courage to delve into the depths of his absence,
to sift through the remnants of memories and aged photographs that bore witness to his time away.
With this video,
I pay homage to the most pivotal figure in my existence,
commemorating the profound impact of a man who held unparalleled significance in my life.
在外公离世三年后,我终于有勇气再次整理他离开那段时间的记忆和老照片。
谨以此片,纪念我人生中最重要的男人。
Dodge Bridge 2020
Not long ago, my grandfather passed away suddenly in a different place.Growing up in my grandfather's house, it was hard for me to accept this fact. When I was organizing my grandfather's belongings, I felt that his belongings were more like ruins carrying memories, and I would like to let time freeze in a moment that was once beautiful, but the truth is that time never waits for anyone, and life is always accompanied by regrets. Dodging the bridge is a custom in my hometown for people who passed away in other places. I froze my grandfather's relics in a block of ice according to my daily routine, symbolizing my wish to freeze time. At the same time there is an external device to change the shape of the ice block. As the ice melted, the relics in the ice seemed to become clearer and clearer, but with the infiltration of black ink, the relics changed their original appearance and could not be restored. For the final presentation, I chose to play the time-lapse images on an old TV, as if they were flashes of memory.
不久前,我的祖父在异地突然离世。在祖父家长大的我很难接受这个事实。在整理祖父的遗物时,我觉得他的遗物更像是承载着记忆的废墟,我愿意让时间定格在曾经的美好时刻,但事实是,时间永远不会等人,生命总是伴随着遗憾。躲桥是我家乡的习俗,为在其他地方去世的人而设。我按照日常的习惯将祖父的遗物冻在冰块里,象征着我冻结时间的愿望。同时有一个外部设备来改变冰块的形状。随着冰块的融化,冰中的遗物似乎变得越来越清晰,但随着黑色墨水的渗入,遗物改变了原来的样子,无法恢复。在最后的演示中,我选择在一台旧电视上播放延时图像,就像它们是记忆的闪光。
