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”,這件作品中,我模仿了英國BBC電視台的地理探險類節目,扮演成為一個主持人,牽引著鏡頭畫面,進行對“異域”的探尋與發掘,而這個“異域”並非真實,而是在一個藍屏的3D數字影棚進行拍攝。和常見探索發現類的節目一樣,我在影片中同樣利用了後期手段制造緊張的節目氛圍,模擬真實熱帶叢林的聲效,在這個虛假的異域中虛構一個原始部落,我在劇情中制造了主持人與原始的遭遇,模擬了一種殖民主義式的文化探訪,並建構了某種我們似曾相識的情境,這種情境一次次的重現在我們周遭的藝術系統中。
