The Ventriloquists 11. Intermedia dialogues with experimental literature: World Like Mist by YU Hua 跨媒轉化,還覺世事如煙

The Ventriloquists 11. Intermedia dialogues with experimental literature: World Like Mist by YU Hua 跨媒轉化,還覺世事如煙

Two artists read YU Hua’s novella World List Mists (1988) and translate it analytically and structurally into a pictogram form to augment textures of sentiments and narrative integrity, maximizing a fatal body of cybernetics through methods of scoring, cartography, chronology and storyboarding. 兩個圖像作品,兩個創作者對余華的《世事如煙》的轉化閱讀,呈現敘事性如何把哀愁、絕望化為結構,點對點的連線,網絡的展現,把個人的「命運」背後的人為操控層層展露。

The Ventriloquists 06. From Dreamwork to Dream Narrative, 6 videos 夢境。夢作業。夢作為敘事法。夢作為藝術語言。

Five Ventriloquists artists show their dreamwork created with their own audio-visual language. It all lies in the crevices, fractures and gaps between shots, between locations, between actions… 夢作業是人存在的無形證據,實在處在夢象與夢象之間,在夾縫中,在虛處,在結合之間的斷裂處,是眾數的斷層。《腹語系》創作者也參與構築夢的敘事語法。

The Ventriloquists 05. The Hand that moves the artist, 2 pictograms on forced conformity 《腹語系》之隻手遮天。兩個解構操控與失去自主的數據圖像

The Hand comes in from everywhere. It interrupts, commands, dominates…; it is omnipresent, irresistible, almighty, dressed and decorated nonetheless mercilessly brutal.. Such is the condition of an artist who wakes up one morning to find his normal routine totally ruled invalid. 木偶藝術小子一覺醒來,伸伸懶腰又期待著新一天的開始。怎知道一夜間世界變透了。一隻無名的手,由溫柔禮待到強權粗暴,無處不在,無孔不入。

Twelve personal thought paths share the same space within a theatre box, each a unique stream of murmurs, together a torrent of existential quests. 十二串個性不同的思緒共享一個微型的小黑盒劇場,各有嗓音,合起來是洪流。態度的堅持,存在的疑問,主體的尋溯,無名渴求,生老病死。
