In some seconds 轉眼

A video is shot on a bus towards the street on passers-by.

In a populous city, a specific person could only be captured in a random manner whenever the bus stops, not before or after, and just for some seconds.

I chose a lane I travel weekly for shooting. The footages, taken in different time are sequenced into two 16:9 videos with slightly different duration and order, being back projected on two screens facing each other. In such way they are hung to create a narrow “moving” space/path to embrace the audience in between, and an experimental cinematic space for the encounter between the audience and the people in each of the two screens.

在繁囂的城市裏,坐在巴士上想遇上車外街上的某路人,只能隨巴士慢駛或停下,分秒不差,也只能維持數秒

我選擇了經常乘搭的巴士路線進行拍攝,將拍攝得來的影片剪輯成兩段長度和次序接近的16:9錄像背投到兩個面對面的屏幕上,造成一個狹窄的流動空間/通道將觀眾包圍,讓觀眾及兩個屏幕中的人在這個實驗電影空間中各自相遇。
