Beyond Geography 

2012, Color & Sound SD Video Installation, 23’09”, Variable Size

In “Beyond Geography”, I imitated the BBC Discovery travel series, playing the role of host as I led the camera to discover and excavate the “exotic lands”. This “exotic lands”, however, are not real settings but are staged up in a 3D digital film studio with a blue screen. Similar to the familiar methods of Discovery program, I appropriated post-production technology to create intense broadcasting atmosphere, simulated the sound effect of a real jungle, and fabricated a primitive tribe in this fake exotic land. I plotted the encounter between the host and the aboriginals, and simulated a colonist type of cultural visit. Thus, I have built up a recognizable scenario that has repeatedly emerged in our surrounding art system.

“地理之外”,这件作品中,我模仿了英国BBC电视台的地理探险类节目,扮演成为一个主持人,牵引着镜头画面,进行对“异域”的探寻与发掘,而这个“异域”并非真实,而是在一个蓝屏的3D数字影棚进行拍摄。和常见探索发现类的节目一样,我在影片中同样利用了后期手段制造紧张的节目氛围,模拟真实热带丛林的声效,在这个虚假的异域中虚构一个原始部落,我在剧情中制造了主持人与原始的遭遇,模拟了一种殖民主义式的文化探访,并建构了某种我们似曾相识的情境,这种情境一次次的重现在我们周遭的艺术系统中。
