A trip to there 《我在追憶，我在追，我在》

Director | Editor | Sound Design | Color grading

Synopsis
​I travel along the timeline, keep asking myself where I can be led to. Yet no one answers but only me wandering alone.

A trip to there is an experimental video essay about me reading my past and concerns. I believe documentation is the only way to resist the death of everything. In the video, conversations are raised from the juxtaposition of my materials regardless of footage, writings and soundscapes. With the practice of systematic improvisation and automatic writing, I reposition my materials along the timeline, transforming past and unchangeable events into dialogues with new contexts, as well as creating a journey that penetrates spatial and temporal boundaries.

The journey does not function as a review of my past, but rather a process of me handling these clusters sentimentally. It is a trip for me to organize my sentiments of facing a gone world that I tightly embraced yet no longer stay the same.

我遊蕩在時間線上，反覆詰問這一切將引往何方。然而沒有人回應，我繼續遊蕩。

《我在追憶，我在追，我在》是一份關於我面對個人紀錄及關懷的實驗性錄像記事。已逝時光閃爍不定，猶如蠟台燭光，幻生幻滅。躁動、失語、碎化的片段打破時空界限，它們交錯、堆砌、演化成一段段對話，又或是一趟沒有終點的旅程。
