Love is Hurt Trilogy愛與害三部曲
Love and hurt are integral parts of human relationships and self-identity, as the saying “Hell is other people” , a quote from the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, has inspired the exploration of society’s impact on our inner self. My work explores the complex interplay between love, pain, and life. Drawing inspiration from surrealism, it examines three kinds of basic love that exist in society and relationships: friends, family, and lovers through a collection of experimental animations titled “Bird’s Corpse,” “Eden,” and “The White Mist,”.
愛與傷痛是人際關係與自我認同不可或缺的一部分,正如法國哲學家讓保羅·薩特所說的“地獄就是他人”,這句話啟發了我對人際以及自我的探索。作品中探討了愛、痛苦和生命之間複雜的相互作用。我從超現實主義受到啟發,通過一系列實驗性動畫——《小鳥的屍體》、《伊甸》和《霧茫無望》探討了社會和人際關係中存在的三種基本愛:朋友、家人和情人。
