The Pillow Book
2016
单屏影像，彩色，6分36秒
《The Pillow Book》是一件跨界作品，与当代舞者魏琴、小芸合作。影像试图游走在图像、诗歌、声音、剧场之间，拍摄时的舞者的舞蹈为即兴演绎。文字来源于日本散文集《枕草子》，我用现实生活中物件组合成抽象的空间，传达在阅读上的一种体验：日常、极简的诗意。拍摄时，我先安排场景，用到了一些在街头和垃圾堆中捡到的物件作为道具，包括碎玻璃，汽车轮胎等。然后再让舞者在场景中自由发挥。之后我对他们的舞蹈做了一个人解读。基于这个解读，我又结合文本，使用了一些现实的声音，剪辑了他们的演绎，做成了影像。

The Pillow Book
2016
Single-channel video, Color, 6min36sec
‘The Pillow Book’ is a product of cross-over work, collaboration with contemporary dancer WEI Qin and Xiaoyun, which attempts to present something in between image, poem, sound and theater; a collaboration with contemporary dancer WEI Qin and Xiaoyun, who improvised the dancing scenes in the video. Drawing excerpts from the Japanese essay collection “The Pillow Book”, I used everyday objects in forming an abstract space, which resonate my reading experience of the book: mundane, minimal and poetic. I would arrange the set using ready-mades found on the street and garbage dumps – shredded glass, tires and etc. Dancers are then invited to interact with the set freely, whose performance would later be interpreted and edited - drawing elements from text and sound samples – into the end product.
