Experimental Short Video Collection, 2021

2021 年五月，在台灣正經歷疫情嚴峻轉為三級警戒的時刻，開啟了這一連串的動態影像實驗日記。港邊的魚群、塗抹的痕跡、窗邊僅有的風景……用鏡頭凝視著生活，更是對日常、自我的另一層理解和探索。有時透過觀賞對方的影片進行回應，有時各自拍攝上傳任影像對話。本片集結
六期影像日記，將往返的影像堆疊成冊。

As Taiwan’s COVID-19 alert escalated to Level 3 in May 2021, Selv and June began a video diary exchange that would evolve into a dialogue about daily life through the lens. From the
banalities of life in lockdown to personal struggles, this collection of six video diaries is not
just a record of the pandemic but an exploration of self-identity.

記得在一次對話中，與一位藝術家朋友討論到：「文字是個有明確意義、且易被辨讀理解的媒
介，那在創作上會感受到被綁住或限制嗎？」
「但我反而覺得文字是彈性的。……有時覺得寫了字之後，要等到被讀到、被想像之後才是更
完整的。」她這樣回答。　　
我們兩人的對話或許也是在這樣的狀態裡歪著頭嘗試理解彼此吧，語句或文字未能到達的地方
，我們就換一個方式前往，既私密又公開地將一來一往的此刻拋出、接起。在影像與影像的縫
隙中、在我們對話的現場，那些未及或缺乏的讓彼此的存在更完整了。

I remember once having this conversation with an artist friend: “Words are a medium with
clear meanings and are easy to read and understand. But do you feel bound or restricted
creatively?
“I actually feel words are flexible. …Sometimes I feel that after writing something, it needs to
be read and imagined before it is complete,” she replied.
Perhaps this is also how we tilt our heads and try to understand each other in our
conversations. If unable to be reached by language or words, we move forward with a
different method, tossing away and picking up moments that come and go, both privately
and publicly. In the gaps between images and the scenes of our conversations, it is what
cannot be reached or is lacking that make our existence more complete.
