Mrs. Day's twenty minutes
2020
The Netherlands
Holiday baking at home, occasionally chatting with friends from different cities, shopping in the nearby supermarket. Mrs. Day's daily life is no different from our lives, composed of trivial events in life. This is a real-time movie about her daily life, recording those perspectives that she can't see, but it still belongs to a fragment of her life. The movie is composed of multiple simultaneously captured footage on the same timeline. Seeing the perspective behind her, the top of her head, the third person, etc., shows the moments that exist simultaneously but is unseen to the individual.
In a rapidly changing society, how do we face the present? How many things we can not control? The director utilized a multi-point real-time camera to portray Mrs. Day from the eyes of passersby and the eyes of an outsider during her time in the morning. To reflect the concept of "simultaneous present", Mrs. Day may not have thought about how many things are happening in her baking time.
她看不見的時間
假日在家烘焙,偶爾和異地的朋友視訊聊聊天,去附近的超市購物,女孩黛西的日常就和我們的生活沒什麼不同,由生活中瑣碎的事件所組成。
這是一部實時電影關於她的日常生活,紀錄她所看不到的那些角落,但卻仍舊屬於她的生活片段。電影在同一個時間軸上由多個畫面組成,看見她身後、頭頂、第三人稱等等的視角,顯示出同時存在但作為個人所看不見的視角。
在變換快速的社會環境下,我們如何面對當下?又有多少事情我們不能控制?導演透過多點實時鏡頭,從路人眼中的她,與在異地人眼中的她,描繪女孩黛西的一段上午時光。來反應“同時當下”這個概念,女孩黛西或許沒有想過在他烤蛋糕的過程中,有多少事情正在發生。

The image has the ability to capture time. I utilize contemporary lens media to dissect and stitch the time. Use the nature of media that can interpret time, so that the sense of time is amplified, suspended, and disintegrated. In the process of searching, I repeatedly asked the definition of time. What is time itself? How do we face ourselves in every present? In my daily life, I have anxiety about the elapse of my own time. This anxiety prompts me to continue to create, trying to find the diversity and interpretation of time.
影像具有捕捉時間的能力,我利用當代鏡頭媒體來進行對時間的解剖與縫合。利用媒體可詮釋時間的特性,讓時間感被放大 暫停 崩解。在尋找的過程中,我一再的對時間的定義做提問。
時間是什麼?我們又如何面對每一個當下的自己? 在日常生活中,我對自我時間不斷流逝產生一種焦慮,這種焦慮促使我不斷創作,試圖尋找時間的多樣性與詮釋權。
