A Useless Fiction

作者完全把自己“放进”此片之中。他苦恼、失意，却又得到鼓励。他在影象中的有与无、翻译上的成与败之间，以及旁白与字幕之际中挣扎。他景仰市川昆，喜读川端康成，不过还是钟情竹山道雄的《缅甸的竖琴》。他把生活当中的错综复杂，透过操纵视觉、听觉和文字的关系，在一系列真假难分的故事中尝试以同时多层叙事的方式表现出来之余，质问影象质量所谓高与低之间的角力。他把生活的庸俗、他的过去以及片子的摄制过程混为一谈，再从中又提出自然、起源、语言、无、身份认同、视觉媒体和文化支配等人类学和生命的问题。在弱势和强势语言之间，在翻译自己后再不停在片中和受观众被翻译的循环之中，他渴望找到答案。或许“一个‘无’字足矣。”
Confused, frustrated but encouraged, the writer puts the whole “him” into this film. He approaches his life struggles as a dilemma between the filmed and the non-filmed, the translation and the impossibility of communication, the voice-over and the subtitles. As a fan of Kon Ichikawa and Yasunari Kawabata, and a lover of Michio Takeyama’s novel Harp of Burma, he tries to express that complexity in a series of multilayered fictive/true stories through visual, audial, and especially, textual manipulations while questions the power structure of image quality. Mixing his banal daily life, his past, and the filmmaking process, the filmmaker raises several anthropological and life questions on nature, origin, language, non-existence, identity, visual media and dominant cultures. He strives to find answers in a circle of interpreting himself in a conflict between oppressed and powerful languages, retranslating what is translated and letting others reinterpret him from both within and without the film. Maybe “ a word ‘none’ is enough”.
