The topics of “freedom” and “newness” have always been discussed at the level of “formal language”. This film is based on the photo samples of clothes from Shanghai Garment Factory (garment production) from the spring of 1979 to early 80s, they are shown in the video one after the other in a slow motion.
Different from the samples from 1977 and 1978, the freedom of garment production was suddenly released in the spring of 1979, the bulk of clothes were circulated after imitation and production. On the one hand, these beautiful folds and the forms of clothes were full of expectations for the future, showing their rich emotions to the modern life in the spring breeze. On the other side, however, our broken and separated consciousness have never been repaired as the reform and open-up went on. What co-located with this film are several deformed, misplaced and dismembered plaster sculptures. All the irreconcilable appearance in front of us has served as the reason for us to wait.

这个半虚构的影片以静帧照片为主，照片来源于我个人收藏的从1954年到1964年新疆建设兵团在五一牧场的生产实习的图像记录，以及50-80年代的新闻摄影、舞台剧照等。故事以五一牧场配种养殖的三代羊群来类比基督徒的迁徙生活，并以世代之间矛盾重重的异梦为线索串联，而在故事的叙述中，我也身在第三者和当事人的多重角度来看待基督徒与周遭世界在语境上的裂痕。
