Temporary Fleeting Loop Vibrate Gaze Promise Desolate

“When I Am Getting Old With You” series develops and expands a simplex news image into the horizontal narrative, extends the hidden events and ctitious emotions behind the lens. In addition to contrast the gap between the mass media and reality, also reacts our immediate live- news demanding and the inescapable circumstance, which we live in.

In the script of this series, the female reporter transfers to the self-sense body from an information intermediary. Under the deliberately enlarged emotional elaborations, she stands out from the peripherally crowded news information, and the posture turns into the cause of the events. In those uncompleted and unbalanced gaze position; she is not only the epitome of the images in real life from the viewer, but also the projection of a part of emotion from the creator.

Through a common experience of viewing, I quote a kind of obscure and unusual emotion. To come along with the eternal gesture and to leave with escaping posture, the memory of this sentiment is derived from the ashy moment in daily life.

這系列作品將單一新聞畫面拓展出橫向的影像敘事，平鋪出鏡頭之後，隱匿的事件和虛設的情感除了對照媒體新 聞與當下的落差，也映照出我們對即時影像的需索，和身在其中無法擺脫的生活樣態。

女記者在這系列影像腳本中，從一個資訊中介者轉為自感的身體。在刻意放大的情感細節下，她從周圍密集的新 聞訊息走出來，自身的姿態成為事件的來源。她不只是觀者在現實影像生活中的縮影，也是創作者某部份情感的 投射—在那些無法補足、失衡的注視位置裡。

即時並不等同於此時此刻，螢幕上的永恆預言已成光點一閃即逝。 我藉由一個普遍的觀看經驗引出一種模糊陌生 的情緒。這情緒的記憶來自日常一閃即逝的瞬間 – 以永恆的姿態而來，逃逸的姿態而去。
