Color, 5:17, Stereo, Sunday Lau, 2005 Sept
There are three different timelines playing in the same space: three men at the left are happening in the normal speed but blurred; the actions of the middle people are looping in various speeds; and at the left there is a rewind play of a man eating an increasing ice-cream.
The concept of “Chaos” is trying to force audience to discover different focus, characters and actions in the same time even in a faked one single long shot. This experimentation is challenging with temporal and spatial scaling, and multiplicity of time and space to the audience. Audience could have new mode of reception from developing its own interpretation. It is a visualization of Theory of Time Image from Deleuze and makes use of tableaux vivants from Roland Barthes as semiosis.
《混沌》
彩色影片，全長五分十七秒，立體聲，二零零五年十月。
這是一個挑戰傳統觀眾的觀看電影經驗的實驗影片，試圖強逼觀眾成為主動的觀察者，同時在一個畫面上以多個重點、角色、及動作去閱讀影片的發展及其結構。作者在同一個空間內同時呈現三條不同的時間故事：左面是正常時間但慢快門拍攝；中間的部分則以不同的速度循環播放；而右面的男孩則是倒鏡播放，男孩手上的冰淇淋在慢慢增加。作者嘗試以德勒茲的「時間影片」理論及羅蘭巴特的「活人畫」理論表現在這影片，以實驗時間跟空間不同組合的可能性。
Watch showreel to taste of it.
